Want to play a slideshow of travel photos or show Mom full-screen pictures of her new granddaughter?
With NthPlayer, consumers can quickly find and easily play photo slideshows from any shared network folder, UPnP volume, or attached USB disk to their televisions or other devices running NthPlayer software.
And, with NthPlayer's sophisticated media aggregator and metadata navigation, finding photos is as easy as recalling the memory of taking them.
NthPlayer's media aggregator automatically finds, scans, and stores metadata and thumbnails from photos found in shared Samba folders, UPnP volumes, and attached USB disks to an internal database. And it periodically rescans to keep its database up-to-date.
NthPlayer knows which computers are on the network and what USB devices are attached, scanning new computers and devices as they are discovered, and hiding the photos from those that disappear, so consumers are always presented with a view of photos that are currently accessible.
By aggregating media into a single database, consumers can spend more time viewing travel pictures, and let NthPlayer remember where the photos are actually stored.
With NthPlayer's internal metadata database, consumers can quickly and easily drill down from a list of all photos found by the media aggregator to exactly the images she wants to see, using photo metadata, such as the camera maker, author, title, and timestamp.
For example, a consumer could first select 'Canon EOS 3' from a list of cameras found when scanning photo metadata. Once presented with a list of all photos taken with the EOS 3, the consumer could then filter further by the timestamp, and filter again by the name of the containing folder. At any point, the consumer can display photos full screen or start playing the current photo list as a slideshow.
NthPlayer's metadata navigation is both simple and powerful.
NthPlayer's media aggregator stores metadata and thumbnails from JPEG and TIFF files to its internal database, so consumers can quickly navigate through their entire photo collection, without waiting for their device access network resoures.
And when it comes time to display photos full-screen, NthPlayer's RAM and CPU efficient scaling algorithms convert and display even large prosumer camera images quickly.
NthPlayer is optimized to run lean and mean on today's memory and CPU constrained electronics devices.
