    Here is a photo showing the caption in the lower righthand corner. Because the stream was renamed to just "I" it minimizes it some, but still the member name and the pipe character still show up.

      Thanks for the follow up.

      At this time, the caption in Photo Stream cannot be removed.


      Thanks,

        That's unfortunate.

        Thanks for your help and digging into it though.

        Hopefully somewhere down the road this will be possible.

    here’s the device info for the unit in question, but this problem is not isolated to this unit. this is a problem with the way that photostreams adds a QR code over every fifth image on the slideshow and on the screensaver.

    I am using this unit to display posters for upcoming shows at my venue on a vertical TV. The QR code is unnecessary and distracting from the posters. I would love to be able to turn off the QR code.
