I have a Synology 220j, that stores my photos. I am trying to view them on my Chromecast with Google tv. I cannot believe this has been so difficult!
There is no DLNA client that I can find on Google tv. I don't want to install plex because it is really too complicated for my needs. I just want to watch photos. I am coming from Roku, which has a media player. It has its own problems, but it is functional.
Synology recommends synology photos. I upgraded to DS 7.0 and installed it. Now it turns out there is no Synology photos app on Google tv!
Does anybody here have any recommendations?
Yeah it doesn't seem like the Synology photo app is available for the Chromecast which is unfortunate, might be able to raise that as a feature request with Synology. I do have to say though that I used to use the Synology app suite and once I switched to Plex I never looked back. It's really really good at what it does, if you have the time to look into it it's not super complicated but may need some permissions editing on version 7 of Synology OS.
