App for viewing photos&videos from SMB share

by jagjordi

Hello,

I am looking for an app to can view photos and videos from a local SMB share.

I have tried to use VLC, FX file explorer, Photo Guru, Photo Gallery and Screensaver.

VLC and FX don't work well when folders have large number of pics (>500), photo guru is expensive (12$ per 6 month or so) and Photo Gallery and Screensaver somehowed worked fine, (3$ one time payment) but it was a big laggy and slow so I asked for a refund.

Does anyone have experience with any app that works well for this usecase?

Kodi. Make sure to enable smb1 in Windows.

FX File Explorer works for me using SMB2 with Media on Synology a DS718+ and app running on ONN 4K Ultra. In addition, Kodi works using NFS.
