Apps 4K Photo and EXIF with GPS Map Viewer for tvOS

[thasoul]

Hi Internet,

I just created a Photo Viewer App for the AppleTV, since the built in Photos App is lacking of some functionality, as of tvOS 10.1.

It´s called 4KPhoto and should be a nice companion app for you AppleTV.

The current version has been released right now.

Enjoy or just try it out for free on the App Store for tvOS.

App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/4k-photo/id1205635608?l=de&ls=1&mt=8

Kind regards

Keep up the hard work and maybe you'll end up at Apple

Just released for tvOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/4k-photo/id1205635608?l=de&ls=1&mt=8

4K Photo now supports Machine Learning and Computer Vision. With this fun feature 4K Photo now detects the image contents based on objects using core ML.


WHAT´S NEW

• Big Data core ML image detection: Up to three categories can be detected from the core ML engine. Please note that mainly objects are supported. Some detections might not be accurate and should only give a fun fact about the image. This feature is enabled by default.

• Pixel dimension information in Metadata Display of the current photo

• Image prefetching for faster loading. Loads the next two upcoming images in background. This is indicated with a small cloud symbol after loading the current image. The second image is loaded in the background for better performance.

• Activity indicator to display loading of larger image sets on first startup

• HD (1920x1080) and UHD (3840x2160) calibration images to adjust your television setup for best viewing experience


CHANGES

• Removed option for lowres and highres image downloads. The only option is now highres.

• Default Zoom is now set to 3.0x. Zoom Factors vary now from 1.5 up to 4.0 to give better 4K response and support for larger TV sets

• Refined loading indicators

• First tab is now Shared Albums and then the Photostream tab. This comes closer to family picture viewing habits.

• General support for tvOS 11


FIXES

• Now correct loading Metadata on initial startup

Any chances you can develop support for viewing photos from a NAS drive?

Thank you for the idea. It was already requested sometimes. This might come over time - but there is no direct open library API for tvOS at the moment.

Just updated to version 1.12 with better 4K support...

So summer is over and I added a new feature to discover your photos on a world map:

Thank you for using 4K Photo and giving so much inspiration and feedback.

Brand new with this release you can now see your photos directly on a GPS satellite map full interactively.

Please stay tuned for upcoming updates. We love to hear feedback from you. Please contact me at 4kphoto@alexnat.de or follow me at twitter @innovateme. See full release notes for more details.


VERSION 1.19

• NEW: For the first time on tvOS you get a full GPS MAP browser for your photos. This is fully interactive. Please take note that analyzing all your photos may take a while. The map is still interactive and browsable.

• NEW: Album Title and Photo count in collection view visible

• CHANGE: Removed open for AI auto horizon for better UXP and uncluttered UI

It's nice to see the app evolve.

As an above poster requested, the ability to browse photos from a local network drive would be good. Not everyone wants to use iCloud.

The app looks interesting. I would test the app immediately if it worked with a local network. I will never store my private photos unencrypted on unknown servers = (i)Cloud.

Small update for the upcoming holiday season
