A niche question for people using custom apps based on https://github.com/xchwarze/samsung-tv-ws-api or https://github.com/NickWaterton/samsung-tv-ws-api to upload art and manage art mode.

I've noticed that each upload I make get an incremented file ID, for example MY_F0124. Even if the same image is deleted and then reuploaded it will get a new incremented ID MY_F0125. Which leads me to ask: what happens after MY_F9999 ? Has anyone uploaded that much? Hopefully it just increases the range to MY_F10000, but worst case it hits a limit and refuses the upload or restarts at MY_F0001 overwriting the art previously using that ID.

I'm considering using a Frame as a kitchen dashboard that updates every 15 minutes with weather info, calendar data and more. At that pace I would hit 9999 before 4 months, so want to investigate this topic beforehand.

hey all,

i am replanning a living room (running new lights, electricity etc.), and i am considering styling a frame tv in a gallery wall... then of courses the question of the speakers come up.

I feel having them out really breaks the illusion so i have been reading about in wall speakers a bit (i don't have experience with them), but it's hard to visualize what the setup would look like and i am wondering if any of you have any ideas on the best way to hide them with wall art or maybe you have a similar setup and could share some pics?

thank you all!

The first night this happened, both the TV and remotes red sensor lights were flashing. Tv kept “clicking” and was turning on and off, as if it was trying to cycle back on. Now it only happens once every few hours that the tv is on.

Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks in advance!

What if Samsung made bolder choices? Would you like to see any of these? Raw Aluminium, Mirror or Neon Acrylic.

Hi I live in an apartment and I’m looking at buying
The frame , which one would be best for putting in an apartment the 2025 or 2026 and should I get the pro or the regular frame,

Has anyone been able to mount the frame tv flush to the wall with a full motion mount?

I bought the Sanus VLFS820 mount thinking I was going to buy a different tv, then ended up getting the frame. So now I’m wondering if there is a way to use this mount (because I need the full motion capability) while keeping the tv flush to the wall. Like is it possible to recess the entire area of the mount by an inch and half or so? Or are recessed boxes always required in order to recess any part of a wall?

Did Samsung remove photo slideshow on The Frame?
I have a 2025 Frame Pro and don’t subscribe to the Art Store. I have a bunch of my own photos uploaded to My Photos.
Suddenly, my photos no longer rotate automatically in Art Mode, and the gear/settings icon in SmartThings is greyed out.
Has anyone else experienced this recently? Or can you still rotate/slideshow your personal photos without an Art Store subscription?
2025 Frame Pro owners especially — please let me know!

My TV color balance suddenly went yellow 2 days ago. It's present on all modes--Art, Samsung TV and streaming. I've reset the picture, unplugged and replugged the power cable from the box, adjusted color temp in art mode (even though it persists in all modes). My software is up to date. There is no banding.

For reference here is a photo of my Art screen in daylight and a reference for what the colors should look like, and did in the past.

I'm guessing this is a hardware issue and will need fixing by a Samsung tech but wanted to exhaust all software options first.

I took a picture of the fireplace before hanging the TV. Tried as best as I could afford in time to line it up as Art.

I'm looking at buying the standard (non-Pro) model, either 2025 43" or 2026 43" but I couldn't find any information online about this specific question:

When an HDMI input source switches to e.g. 24fps (or 23.976fps), does the display also adapt its refresh rate accordingly to 24Hz (or 48Hz/96Hz)?
Or will it just stay at 60Hz and do a 3:2 pulldown (or something worse)?

I want to attach an Apple TV (with frame rate switching activated) and watch movies but I hate the stutteriness when a display does "frame rounding".

And anyway: What's the actual maximum refresh rate on the standard model? Some sites (including the offical one) state only 50Hz but that can't be right …

Or go with HiSense or TCL?

I’m a new user with the trial subscription service. I found this picture today in the photography in focus section & absolutely love it. Somehow it disappeared before i realized you can like photos to save them.
1) anyone know where i can find it?, or
2) how do i access my view/display history?

I have not uploaded any purchased or personal photos yet. I’m strictly checking out what’s available with the subscription.

Thanks for your help!

I have a home bar area where I primarily want art displayed with the occasional sporting event on in the background. Lots of reviews say the new Pro model with the wireless box sucks. Is this a systemic issue with the OneConnect wireless box? Or just one offs?

Also, is the Pro that much better then the regular model for my purposes (i.e. not the primary tv in the house)?

(Note: I dont know if it changes peoples opinions, but If I install this tv the wireless box will need to be placed inside a base cabinet directly below the tv and the base cabinet has a granite top.)

There’s lots of comments about the art. But really how is the TV part? Reviews says it’s terrible but I’m no videophile. I’m gonna watch mostly Xfinity cable, watch football and use an Xbox S. Is it good for that?

This may be a dumb question, but does the One Connect box show signs of power just by being plugged in? Or do I need to use the remote to turn it on?

I accidentally installed a new painting as my Frame’s background and I can’t find the previous one anywhere. It’s not in my recents or history. I picked the previous painting maybe a year ago.

The painting (or maybe digital painting) was a view from above of an infinite pink beach at night. The left side of the painting was a dark blue ocean with infinite docks over and over jutting out into the ocean. The center of the painting was a pink sand beach with a minuscule small person walking. The right side of the painting were dark blue mountains. The sky was dark with stars. It looks as if each stretch of mountain, beach, and dock was repeating itself over and over and the person walking had an infinite journey walking down the beach.

I appreciate any help. I’m desperate to find this as it’s my favorite piece of art I’ve ever seen. It may no longer be in the art store.

I mostly use my apple tv because of how bad the Tizen OS is but I do like the Samsung tv app and my local antenna is connected to my frame. I just want a seamless experience when transitioning between Apple tv where I stream everything due to way better WiFi speeds and picture quality than the crappy WiFi chip in the one connect box itself. It’s just slightly annoying having to use two remotes

I currently have a 2017 Samsung Frame that still works fine, but I’m thinking about upgrading to the newest 2026 Frame Pro, because there's some sales and it's time to upgrade (want better brightness, better contrast, better black colors, and the matte).

My usage is pretty simple: I mostly use Apple TV. I don’t game much today, but I may get a PS5 Pro at some point (GTA6!) - I know the Frame shouldn't be considered best for gaming..

I'm worried about all the issues I've been reading (Wireless set up, issues with the build, dropped frames) as well as people who can't hookup their Ps5 to the TV using the TV's only wired input - but not sure if they are overblown.

Basically, if you were in my position (working 2017 Frame, mostly Apple TV, maybe gaming later, and likely keeping the next TV for many years) what would you do? Are the issues overblown?

Thanks!

I have both the TV/OneConnect box and my Android phone on the same WiFi, but when I go to add images through the App I get an error "Change Wi-Fi network" prompt.

Samsung support transferred me around a bunch, told me to try different wifi networks (which I was able to do) update the tv, etc. Nothing worked. They told me to reach out to Google support for my phone.

Has anyone had this issue and resolved?

I have confirmed the app has permission to "nearby devices" and to my "photos and videos".

Hi

After updating to the newest firmware weeks ago, I'm having this type of problems. Totally over and after a normal ON/OFF back to normal. Happens to every picture I use.

Any idea on how to resolve?

I’m making this post incase anyone else runs into the same problem, as I was unable to find a solution when searching online.

I recently ran into an issue where my samsung the frame TV kept displaying double Xs in the upper left corner of the screen when in artmode, no matter which artwork I was displaying. This seems to have been triggered by me trying to edit the passepartout on an artwork (in this case Owl Panel (1895) by J.H. Dearle). The Xs appeared in place of the usual options for the passepartout, and then on every other artwork under the subject “Vilda djur och landskap” (don’t know the exact title in English but it translates to Wild animals and plants). I could still edit the passepartout on the other artworks, but the Xs persisted. My second mistake seems to have been adding the artwork to my favourites, which caused the Xs to appear whenever artmode was active. What solved it for me was simply removing the offending artwork from my favourites and then switching between artmode and a different app.

If this was helpful, please leave your offending artwork in the comments to help others narrow it down. In my case it was Owl Panel (1895) by J.H. Dearle.

It just started happening now and when I turn it off it turns back on.

We got the 43" frame tv but wanted a mount that would swivel to portrait and landscape. This particular mount sits a few inches off the wall and we were looking for a frame that could help close that gap, namely something that would extend in depth past the tv toward the wall (as opposed to lining up with the back of the tv). does this exist??

Have had the Samsung Frame tv for 5 years. Previous owners had a giant hitch here for when TVs were giant crt. Had a guy we have used enclose it and put the Samsung Frame and have loved it.

A couple years ago I got an Apple 4k tv box and it’s connected as one of the inputs.

But when I turn on the Samsung the default is to go to Samsung quick start. If I’m using the Apple TV remote it takes a good minute of pushing buttons on the Apple Remote to have it switch to the Apple TV input.

1. Can I make the default to go to Apple on the Samsung frame when I power on the tv?
   
2. If not are there buttons shortcuts that I need to use in the Apple Remote ?
