How to view family photos in XBMC - vid53 - 2014-01-24

When i want to view family photos while using XBMC (Neon skin). Do the photos have to be on an external HD, SDHC card attached to my g box MX-2 Huh
I have all my movies and TV shows stored upstairs in my PC along with my pictures.I would like to view them using upnp setup. I hope I am explaining correctly my problem.

Same as movies, you need to add a source. Not sure that upnp will work. Try setting up a smb share for the upstairs PC.

add a share on the PC that stores them
then add then to XBMC >pictures.>add source > browse >Windows share (the name of the share on your PC)
add a name and then OK

I did that and i see all my folders, but when i click on any of the folders there is nothing there.No matter where i navigate to,the folder names are there and are correct but nothing seems to be inside. What am i doing wrong??

permissions on shares or files within shares?

what does your log file say?

The C drive is set to share for everyone along with all my folders.I am not very PC savvy and i am not familiar with a log file.

Sorry
