Re: Multiple Rokus accessing the same google photos album simultaneously to display a slideshow?

Greetings @rukosteve1 

Welcome to the Roku Community and thanks for posting regarding your inquiry.

Please be aware that there is no functionality to control 6 different Roku devices at the same time with the same content. However, it's possible that if you had 6 USB thumb drives connected to each of the 6 Roku devices, that you would be able to display the same content assuming the order of the content were the same.

However, perhaps one of our Community Experts @atc98092 or @makaiguy could provide another possible solution that cmay work for you.


Thanks,
Danny

Re: Multiple Rokus accessing the same google photos album simultaneously to display a slideshow?

@rukosteve1 One way to play the same content on all Roku devices is to use a DLNA server, then use Roku Media Player to run a slideshow. I just tested it on mine, and it works fine. Just be aware that the displays won't be in sync, meaning you won't see the same picture at the same time. They will be changing images based on when you pressed the Play button when you had the folder selected, and since it won't be possible to make all six start at precisely the same time, they will not be in sync.
