Implementation of a home server for photos

Question

Iron

The question arose of how best to implement the storage of home photo archives. Now there is a nas server with a disk available 24/7 connected to a WiFi router. It's not a problem to watch pictures from a laptop / computer, I want to add the ability to watch pictures from a TV here. Recommend how you can connect a TV (HDMI set-top box?) With a WiFi router and, accordingly, with a nas-server?

Or maybe someone will offer additional software / solution / scheme for the interaction of several devices, which facilitates the uploading of new photos, their organization and sorting and output without the need to transfer everything first to the computer, sort it, scatter it into folders on the nas disk?

PS The ideal scenario is to take out a flash drive from the camera, connect it to some device, everything is transferred to the nas disk, and then from the TV it becomes possible to view photos and some simple functions for organizing a photo archive.

Answer 1

I would use a server for such a thing on Linux with an xmbc shell, and I would sort the pictures with a script. In principle, if you add a Linux computer to your scheme, then you can simply mount a NAS network share on it, on which to store pictures. Well, it's clearer...

If the TV supports DLNA, then you don’t need to fence anything else. I have had this www.homemediaserver.ru/ for three years now. Not only photos, but also movies and music can be listened to. And not only on TV, but also on mobile phones and iPads. If the TV does not know about ethernet or Wi-Fi at all, then there is definitely a prefix to try, since there are a lot of them now. On one of the body of the visors I have Asus o play. But she is already three years old, now there are probably newer and more powerful ones ...

Answer 3

I apologize for the question in someone else's topic - friends, how do you think, based on the Raspberry Pi, will a server for storing photos / movies + a torrent downloader be good, with the ability to output content to a TV set (via HDMI)? If you immediately put an XMBC-oriented axis.

Answer 4

I solved this issue in the following way: I
bought a place from Google, uploaded pictures in pikasa, there is an application for pikasa on the TV (it seems that now all modern “smart” TVs have a similar application, I personally have a Philips 7605) - I enter under my account and have access to my albums.
As a result, I have the opportunity to view my photos from anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection, plus the reliability of such storage is much higher than on a screw / blank.
Threat naturally there is also an archival copy on a blank, but I haven’t checked their “readability” for a long time))
