Does picframe work with NAS folders?

[FatDucks]

Hi I want to access files stored on a Synology NAS to display on my Raspberry PI3 running picframe. Does this work? I've tried mounting a CIFS share, which starts to work, but then only displays 3 out of about 100 directories (the same 3 een after deleting the database). I've tried an NFS mount with all users squashed to admin on rights on the Synology NAS, but nothing is seen by picframe.
I have too many photos (~700GB) to store locally on the Raspberry locally and don;t want to have to manually add more when I upload them.

Is it possible and how would I do it?

Hi @FatDucks it should definitely work with NAS folders.

Can you access the files via ssh from the raspberry as the user in which context picframe runs?
What kind of directories you are trying to scan? By default picframe doesn't follow symbolic links. You can enable it in configuration.yml. But be careful, because you can create link loops.

I made it work with my Synology too, but due to slowness of network pictures were either not shown, or shown corrupted. I've now created a python script that selects pictures based on rating, tags and title and copies that to a USB drive on my Raspberry pi

Well, here it works flawlessly. Nothing slow to report with something like 50k pics and an old QNAP 4bay in the background. All this with old school HDDs in the NAS.
