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.

      That's unfortunate.

      Thanks for your help and digging into it though.

      Hopefully somewhere down the road this will be possible.

        Apparently that “caption” *has* been removed…but now a QR code with the message “Scan to add photos to Photo Streams” displays every 5 or 6 photos in the slideshow.   That really chaps my ass; it spoils the show.  Can’t Roku just give its customers a feature without spoiling it by inserting self-serving garbage on the screen?  PLEASE.REMOVE (or provide option to disable).
