Hi!

When I connect the Jolla phone to smart TV and I choose to connect as a drive it offers only the pictures. How does this sharing work and how can it be extended to the videos?

Thanks,

Simo, in this topic I wanted to ask help how to share files over USB to a smart TV - only the pictures were offered. (Issue of MTP?) The topic you mentioned details direct video output to a TV - not just sharing files.

I can at least confirm this bug, also here seeing only photos on Samsung 5000 series device. I tried with few file formats and video codecs with no luck, while Samsung should supports those.

As the DLNA sharing (linked above) does work, I guess you could use that as a workaround until fixed.
