About this app

PhotoGuru Media Player is designed to display photos and videos from various file- and photo hosting services on Android-based phones, tablets, smart TVs and set-top boxes. The intuitive and beautiful user interface gives users easy access to the photos and provides an inexpensive way to showcase photos, videos and media presentations in the most professional way possible. PhotoGuru is compatible with Google Android TV devices as well as Amazon’s FireTV media players. 4K/UHD rendering of images is supported on several high-end devices.

The app has been installed >200,000 times from the Google- and Amazon stores and is used in homes, offices and store fronts as well as by promoters during concerts and other events.

PhotoGuru Media Player can access photos and videos from the following cloud-based photo- and file hosting services:
• Dropbox
• Flickr
• Google Drive
• Google Photos
• Local USB Sticks/drives
• Microsoft OneDrive
• SmugMug
• UPnP/DLNA
• Windows Server (Samba, CIFS)
• WebDAV
• Zenfolio


The app supports true 4K/UHD rendering of images on the following devices:

• FireTV 4K (small rectangular box released in 2015)
• FireTV Stick 4K (released in 11/2018)
• NVidia Shield (all versions)
Due to hardware limitations, PhotoGuru does not support 4K rendering on the FireTV 4K dongle that was released in 11/2017.


The app is ad-free and does not cost anything. In order to keep it that way and to remove a trial message within the app, we ask you to purchase the module for the cloud-storage provider that you use for approximately $4.50. Proceeds are used to finance future development of the app and to purchase new equipment for testing.

I've tried several apps like this and like this one the best as it has the right combination of features. The screensaver slideshows, extensive slideshow settings, and ability to connect to web services and local media are ideal. As of July, 2021, connecting with Google Photos or Drive does not work on the Chromecast with Google TV device though the author is working on the issue. I have confirmed that the problem does not exist on the Nvidia Shield.

The interface is not "beautiful" as advertised. Rather, it's difficult to figure out even after reading the manual. What is a "Laid Back Browser" for anyway? “Buffering...” is the message I see constantly when watching videos, whether the video is on a USB stick in the back of the TV, on a local network drive, or using one of the Cloud providers. I don't get that message with Photo Gallery and Screensaver, though that app is loaded with other issues. This is another Google Play app developed by a weekend developer, rather than something professionally designed, developed, and maintained.

Please contact us at "gurusupport@cmpsoft.com" to get help you with the configuration of the app. Videos should play fluently unless something is misconfigured on your device. Thank you.

it's the first app I've found that actually let's me see my photos on Google Photos in the traditional manner. Mostly it's great, but I'd like to be able to search for an image by name, such as all the images with "west" in the name. Also, I'd like to know how many files I have on Google Photos, but I don't see that information in this app. Third, I'd like to just buy a single "unlock all" IAP, rather than making 3 separate purchases to unlock all the rest (but that's a minor issue, obviously).
