Slideshow of photos AND videos?

by inspiredby

I want to share photos and videos on a cloud-connected device with a family member in a nursing home who is not able to control a phone or remote control, and who has people around who can change the input source on the TV.

Is there a way to do this?

I have a fire stick and a Chromecast. Neither seem to do video. I like to use the Google photos app on my phone for uploading new media to a specific album - and this is easy for most of my family to view with any device.

An aside - One other thing I don't like about Chromecast is you can't control it on public wifi, which is all my older family member has access to. Apparently that's because it uses a phone as a remote via WiFi and it requires disabling the router's isolation mode which is usually on on public wifi, including at this nursing home.

Check out Photo Gallery and Screensaver on a Mi Box or Shield TV.

You can connect a Google Photos account and use a Gallery in that account to display photos through the Android TV device.
