Photos not displayed when browsing UPnP folders

Hi,

I downloaded MrMC lite for Apple Tv a few weeks ago and for some reason pictures in UPnP folders are not displayed. MrMC creates icons and those are displayed properly, but when I click a photo icon the screen goes black. This happens with two different servers UPnP (Serviio and Playon). I'm not having any issues with video playback. Everything also works using other UPnP renders (Samsung TV, Sony Blue Ray player, even a 15 year old D-Link DSM-750 media player.)

Apple TV will display pictures and create icon's fine from the apple TV photos album (ie photos taken with my Wife's Iphone) so I know that Apple TV can display photos (at least with native software)

It's possible this isn't a MrMC issue and it might be an issue with my apple tv or a video issue between apple tv and samsung tv

Some system information
TVOS 14.7 (Darwin 20.6.0)
MR.MCLite 3.9-11
Screen Resolution [email protected] -Full Screen

Hopefullythe attached image works:

Hi all,

just purchased MrMC for AppleTV 4k today (and in general I like it) but unfortunately I have the same issue when opening photos via UPnP (Jellyfin). The preview is working well, but when going to full screen the picture is just 'black'.

It's working fine when using SMB access or also the LG TV DNLA/UPnP client is working well.
So it's an issue with MrMC UPnP photo playback. (Videos are also working fine for me)

The only reason might be, that
- the photo size is shown with '0 Byte', so maybe this is causing the black screen issue. When using SMB access the size is shown correctly.
- the data source folder is mounted to Jellyfin as 'read-only'

I didn't find a reason for the 0 byte size, if it's related to Jellyfin, but maybe it's just a MrMC bug.

Thanks for checking and your feedback!
