Pixetia User Guide
Pixetia turns your Android TV into a photo frame. It shows your photos one after another, with their date, the place and the current weather. The photos can be on the TV itself, on a USB drive, on a computer at home or in the cloud.
This guide explains the app step by step, without jargon. If this is your first time using it, start with Getting started.
How to read this guide
