Like most people, I have a digital photo frame at home. In my case, a beautiful Nixplay display that includes lots of fancy cloud integration. Photos can be uploaded remotely and synchronised from various sources. It even has its own email address! I am really happy with this frame. The display quality is excellent and for the most part, I haven't had any issues with it. But there are a few things that I really miss: no icloud support - all of my photos are stored in the Apple icloud, but the only way to sync photos to Nixplay is to copy them to some other supported platform like Dropbox. no auto-cropping - the frame uses 16:9 aspect ratio while most of my photos are 3:2. I have to manually crop these to get them to fit the frame. no automatic syncing of new photos - all photos need to be manually pushed to the digital frame. This means more manual effort for adding new photos. Uploading the many 1000s of photos I have accumulated over the years is pretty much out","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/paulknewton","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/paulknewton/pi-cloud-frame/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
