PhotoGuru Media Player is designed to display photos and videos from various file- and photo hosting services on Android-based phones, tablets, smart TVs and set-top boxes. The intuitive and beautiful user interface gives users easy access to the photos and provides an inexpensive way to showcase photos, videos and media presentations in the most professional way possible. PhotoGuru is compatible with Google Android TV devices as well as Amazon’s FireTV media players. 4K/UHD rendering of images is supported on several high-end devices.

The app has been installed >200,000 times from the Google- and Amazon stores and is used in homes, offices and store fronts as well as by promoters during concerts and other events.

PhotoGuru Media Player can access photos and videos from the following cloud-based photo- and file hosting services:
• Dropbox
• Flickr
• Google Drive
• Google Photos
• Local USB Sticks/drives
• Microsoft OneDrive
• SmugMug
• UPnP/DLNA
• Windows Server (Samba, CIFS)
• WebDAV
• Zenfolio

The app supports true 4K/UHD rendering of images on the following devices:

• FireTV 4K (small rectangular box released in 2015)
• FireTV Stick 4K (released in 11/2018)
• NVidia Shield (all versions)
Due to hardware limitations, PhotoGuru does not support 4K rendering on the FireTV 4K dongle that was released in 11/2017.

The app is ad-free and does not cost anything. In order to keep it that way and to remove a trial message within the app, we ask you to purchase the module for the cloud-storage provider that you use for approximately $4.50. Proceeds are used to finance future development of the app and to purchase new equipment for testing.

it's the first app I've found that actually let's me see my photos on Google Photos in the traditional manner. Mostly it's great, but I'd like to be able to search for an image by name, such as all the images with "west" in the name. Also, I'd like to know how many files I have on Google Photos, but I don't see that information in this app. Third, I'd like to just buy a single "unlock all" IAP, rather than making 3 separate purchases to unlock all the rest (but that's a minor issue, obviously).

I've tried several apps like this and like this one the best as it has the right combination of features. The screensaver slideshows, extensive slideshow settings, and ability to connect to web services and local media are ideal. As of July, 2021, connecting with Google Photos or Drive does not work on the Chromecast with Google TV device though the author is working on the issue. I have confirmed that the problem does not exist on the Nvidia Shield.

The interface is not "beautiful" as advertised. Rather, it's difficult to figure out even after reading the manual. What is a "Laid Back Browser" for anyway? “Buffering...” is the message I see constantly when watching videos, whether the video is on a USB stick in the back of the TV, on a local network drive, or using one of the Cloud providers. I don't get that message with Photo Gallery and Screensaver, though that app is loaded with other issues. This is another Google Play app developed by a weekend developer, rather than something professionally designed, developed, and maintained.

I use this app on my Nvidia sheild Android TV to browse the photos and videos stored on my PC and display them on my 60 inch 4k TV via SMB. Has a lot of customization options and can also connect to Dropbox, OneDrive and some other cloud storage services and also supports DLNA/UPnP and a few other protocols and could connect directly to a NAS or media server. Android/Google TVs typically don't have a lot of storage, so this app can help with that.

Used to be a very good app. I use it as a WebDav client to Nextcloud. The legacy browser in the old version looked bit outdated but was fully functional. New UI is actually worse. It wastes screen space. Icons are too big. Impossible to quickly jump to a folder by clicking a folder name on navigation bar. It displays the WebDav URL which is not needed. Take some hints from other file explorer apps. Use different views for AndroidTV and Mobile versions. Change the outdated folder icons theme.

I purchased the application. It works well, but there are items to improve: 1. I cannot select the full path as metadata to display at the bottom of the image. My folder structure is indeed [year]/[Event date]/[Filename].jpg . I would expect to display all at the bottom of each image. 2. The transiction between images has a minimum of 2 seconds. it is too much if the images are accessed via SMB: the load time from the network is indeed already of few seconds,so it should start from ZERO

I bought a new Sony TV and photo guru was factory installed. I'm surprised by the positive reviews but perhaps this app works differently if it's running on a phone, or lap top. However on a TV I would call it unreliable. You're never sure when you click on the logo what screen is going to open. Sometimes when you click on the logo to open it, a screen appears with info on past upgrades the company has made. Most frustrating is when the logo is clicked and a screen asks if you want to play a random slideshow, delete the slideshow and one other option. The most important option doesn't appear. That is: play a slide show in sequential order from a given slideshow file. My work around is to go back out to the TV's main app screen and try again or sometimes turn the TV off and start over. It's very frustrating. I wish CMP could somehow fix this problem. On the positive side once you do persevere and locate the proper file the slideshow options in terms of time between slides and dissolve vs fly in options are good and it all works well. I would never us this on a lap top now that I know how it behaves on my TV. A much better option is Fast Stone Image Viewer

Amazing! Finally I have found the program which is able to browse both photos and videos located in the same folder (on my local home server) as a single slideshow, pictures being exchanged by videos and vice versa on my Android TV. All browsers before were able show either photos or videos, but not both in a sequence. Appreciate superb quality of slideshow, as the program takes full advantage of 4K quality. Also if you are playing the music video, the sound is more than outstanding. Was more than surprised with the technical support: having question related with configuration, first mail with suggestions came back literally in 5 minutes! All subsequent communication was professional, crystal clear and humanly warm. More than recommended!
