"Q" can someone explain how Gallery works - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have been a new Galaxy S2/Android owner for 4 days now and am slowly getting to grips with everything. One question I have is how Gallery works. I have images in picasa so I take it they are streamed from picassa should I want to view them? I also dragged a file with some images and videos onto the phone via Kies and although the videos play straight from the video app it seems they stream from the web when viewed in gallery? I'm probably making this more difficult than I need to but any explanations as to how it all works/integrates would be appreciated.

Photo Frame

Hi
I store all of my photographs on my synology NAS and would like a way of displaying them as a photo frame screensaver type app for use in a desktop dock.
All apps for photo gallery type stuff don't support local network stored photos, only online picasa, flicker, facebook, etc. but I have all my photos locally stored for the past 10+ years and they simply wouldn't fit on the galaxy tab.
The only way of viewing photos is using ES file explorer and through the synology nas app but this is only good for manual viewing.
If anyone has an app or a way of getting this to work, I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks
Mark

I have picasa on my PC so going to sync up a few albums and just use a picasa compatible gallery app.
Now is there a screensaver type app for the desktop dock?

So, i have serached on Android Market to give the OP an answer. Here are the links:
1 - Twonky Mobile (a good one)
2 - BubbleUPnP
3 - UPnPlay
4 - Eminet DLNA/UPnP Player
All of them can show video, music and pictures. And they running on the SGT10.1 3G. I hope that helps. I don't use it, because i have a three year old Samsung Picture Frame with WebServer on it.
BTW: there is an add-in for the Samsung Picture Frame on the windows home server (ahhh). And that me as unix and gentoo user. Shame on me .

[Q] Videos From EVO LTE Not Playing On Google Plus

I apologize in advance for this one...
Video's created on my EVO LTE and uploaded to Google Plus play fine for most people, but they won't play on my sister's laptop!
When she is logged into her G+ account and clicks on any video's I have uploaded from my EVO, a new window opens and displays only the first frame. Clearly, her laptop is interpreting the video as a photo.
I thought the issue must be with her laptop, because others have been able to play my videos. However, as a test, I uploaded a short video created with my web cam, and she can stream that just fine.
So apparently this is an issue between the EVO's videos and her laptop. My first thought was that some codec is not installed on her laptop, but Google converts any uploaded videos anyway.
Youtube videos play fine on her laptop.
The same exact thing is happening with my mom's Kindle fire, but I'll troubleshoot that separately I guess.
Btw, I tried several Google searches. apparently only my sister and mom are having this issue!
Anybody aware of a forum for G+ streaming video issues?

[Q] I shot a video and it won't play!

Hi,
I recently shot a video using my Motorola Atrix running CM7.2, and for some reason it won't play. All my other videos shot before and after this one play fine. I would really like to see this video, it is very important to me!
Any idea's? I would pay someone a few bucks if they could get this video off the phone for me in a playable format (I could dropbox it to you).
Thanks,
Adam
More Info please.
Try transferring the video to your PC and use VLC or other good player with a lot of codec and see if it opens.
Does that video have significant size like atlease 2 or 3 MB atleast if its a zerobyte file then obviously it wont play.
You can capture frames in video with sony vegas if later frames are corrput you can crop them.
I have the ATRIX 2 MB865... can't be much different from yours. I also have a ME860 as well, and I could test on that as another option.

Question: Gallery

Not new to the scene, but new to non aosp and touchwiz based phones (coming from the gnex)..
Anyway, I have videos that aren't in DCIM/pictures and they display in gallery. I expect videos I record to obviously be placed in there but these are music videos in my music folder. I tried making a .nomedia file in the music folder, but then obviously Google play wouldn't pick up the songs.
TLR,
Anyway to prevent videos (non phone recorded) from displaying in the gallery?
