Playing slideshows with shared fotos

Sorry, i forgot to explain my environment:

In the past years, i only use windows based ose's on the client side. Only my file server is a non windows system, a Synology NAS. This system is used as my file server and represents some file shares and other services. As a Home Theater i use a PC with Windows Media Center to watch all my shared photos by slideshows (around 200k files) and movies (around 1k files). My music is streamed over a Sonos system, so music is out of focus here. The Windows Media Center is the first system, i want to migrate to Apple, with Apple TV 4. This device is in use since yesterday. Because photo presentation on my HD-Panel is very important, i want to know how or with which App i can solve this use-case without the use of iTunes Home Sharing. The Video-based files on my NAS can be viewed with Infuse. This App is installed and works fine, but it doesn't support photos :-(...

Do someone know how to view photos with Apple TV 4 with such an environment --> Synology NAS Folder Shares --> Apple TV 4

Thank you Pros!

Hello Winston

Thank you for your reply!

Homesharing:

Apples Homesharing is the solution i don't want to use. With my technical experience, it must not be necessary to start up a third system (computer) for playing slideshows in my environment -> Apple TV 4 and NAS Online. Its waste of resources, if i have a server like a NAS running and Apple TV 4 as client system, which in principle is able to access the data on a NAS. Infuse solved this for videos, so i believe it must be possible to solve this use-case for photos.

The Plex Client is still installed on my Apple TV 4. To access my NAS data with Apple TV 4 Plex Client, i installed the Plex Server in my NAS. Everything fine here too. I can play video and can select my photos. But the Apple TV 4 Plex Client isn't able to play slideshows - right now in my tests. It doesn't load next picture automatically. Do you have other information about it? Maybe i make something wrong with the use of the Plex Client. If i select a folder with photo's inside and press the Play Button on the Apple TV 4 Remote, nothing happens. If i browse into the folder, with the first photo selected and press the Play Button, only the selected picture is opened. Nothing more... In principle, the Plex Client can be a solution for me, if the slideshow function will work.

Hmmmm, you see, it is not that simple like it seem to be. Sorry for my further questions, but i believe in Apple and want to get that migration to work. But i need a bit help to get some simple use-cases running. Do some insider information exit about coming Apps that can solve this? Does somebody know if the slideshow feature in the Plex Client must run in actual version? This is the only feature i must have.

Thank you all again in advance,

Jörg
