Was not a problem with a few gifs sprinkled here and there. USB sticks have grown and gifs have become larger and more common. The result is my LG player constantly bogs down and "reboots" back to menu. Seems to be a memory shortage and I can't find data on bluray players and their memory capacity. Everything is written at extremely elementary levels - like "Great picture on my 80" 4K TV".

Gifs beat stills and it is nice to be able purview a lot of them for an "extended workout".

Anybody found a bluray player that allows one to play a USB stick with hundreds of gifs?

Have you considered a Raspberry Pi?

I have one - a super tiny computer of sorts. I use a console LG bluray player so I can easily view images on the TV while leaving computers out of the loop when possible.

Seems that most people use their smartphone or computer and ignore the possibility of hackers "dropping in".

FWIW - Ingsoc requires that players have 1 GB of memory. They. of course, do not want the public to know that. It is important to know what we watch I guess. I would assume that "updating firmware" is more akin to uploading thumbnails of what we have watched. Funny that the people is reluctant to buy Ingsoc's latest automobile "updates". Rumors of kill witches are rather off putting. But I digress. Often.

I had much, much better luck after deleting the largest images and gifs. Found some jpegs with 8mb of data which is just absolutely nuts.

Other very problematic files are video at 240p. If I wasn't a bit lazy I would find my originals - but the collection is so large that it confuses and depresses me. Thinking of the thousands, and thousands, that I blew while others happily downloaded.
