I have a qnap NAS which shares media via samba shares and upnp (dlna/twonkey). I'd like to run a photo gallery app which displays shared photos so I don't have to copy them to my tablet. No luck finding a DNA client that has a decent photo gallery yet... also couldn't find an app that lets me mount a smb share like smbfs for Linux.. any other ideas? Launching needs to be very simple.

Have you considered uploading pictures to your Picasa account and using the dock screen to show them as slideshows? – Raul Marengo Jan 4 '12 at 8:30
+1 Have wondered the same, would be a good way to recycle my tablet when my tablet when it gets past its useful life, as well as a way to get it doing something more useful than pretending to be a clock while its docked and charging. I've got a DLNA enabled Windows server, so any SMB/DLNA solutions would presumably be the same. – GAThrawn Jan 4 '12 at 11:14

Have you tried ArkMC?

The free version still works as a renderer :)

Have you tried Social Frame?
It is a digital photo frame app.
It automatically syncs photos from Facebook, Twitter, and 500px.
Love this app

Have you searched DLNA in Play Store? You can find many apps.
My favorite is Skifta .

It may sound like overkill, but it may suit all your needs:

XBMC Media Center (downloads for Android are here)

It has many features that you might not need (like a weather forecast, playing videos and music) but the best parts are its big list of network capabilities (media on Windows shares, DLNA (UPnP), FTP, etc.) and its huge list of available plugins. It's also remotely controllable in many ways, there are even apps for Android, etc.

Plus it's open source and free.

Try out Digital Photo Frame Slide Show.

It has exactly the features you need as it can access a UPnP server or a SMB network drive.

ES File Explorer should let you access SMB shares.
