Hi,

I have been trying to show photos on a TV via a Samsung Blu Ray player
with DNLA.

I have a Moto G phone that does not have a SD Card and have got it to
work with Android BubbleDNLA, but my photos are mainly on my fedora 24 PC.

I installed Kodi and it worked with video/music libraries but could not
seem to get any photos, can't it stream photos?

For quickness I would like to put photos on my moto G but cannot find
the phone when I plug it into the linux pc via usb cable, but i can hear
a "blip" (nothing on file manager).

Any advice on how to easily show my photos via DNLA?

Regards

I have only had success with minidlna on my samsung smart TV.

minidlna is part of debian, but doesn't seem to be part of fedora so you
will have to find an rpm from a source you trust.

For your moto G problem, you may need to configure an mtp capable system
to recognise your android device. This seems to be a good primer:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MTP

(Though mtp is a complicated subject, in my experience it normally just
works - but if your distro is older than your handset you may have to
tweak it a bit)
