.... CiefpPicturePlayer v1.1 .....

This version brings significant improvements in system stability,

easier access to files and better display organization.

## Android Integration (Beta): A support for connecting to Android devices has been prepared,

which allows easier transfer and viewing of images directly from mobile phones to your receiver.

## Auto-Clear Cache Protection: A protection system has been added that prevents the receiver's memory from overflowing.

Now you can set a limit (e.g. 500MB) after which the plugin will automatically delete old cached images so that the system always works smoothly.

## Advanced image sorting: Images are now organized more logically - the most recently added images are displayed at the top of the list,

which makes it easier to navigate through large albums without the need for long scrolling.

## Performance optimization: Improved loading of thumbnails and more stable handling of network paths (SMB/CIFS).

## Recommendation: After installation, go to Settings (MENU)

and set the desired Auto-Limit for cache memory according to the free space on your device.

How to use:

Settings on the phone:

- start File Manager (I use the system one)

Settings in the file manager:

- set the port to 2121

- set the login user:root passw:user1 (put your own password)

Starting FTP

FTP - Start

The ftp address is displayed on the screen, for example:

192:168:1:10:2121

On the receiver, open the CiefpPicturePlayer plugin

yellow button Network select the option:

Connect to Phone (Android FTP)

The virtual keyboard starts (I recommend the NewVirtualKeybord plugin)

The order of entry is as follows:

ip address - enter the ip address without the port, click on green to continue

port - here enter only the port 2121 green to continue

username - enter the username you entered in the file manager green to continue

password - enter the password you entered in the file manager green to confirm

if the connection is successful, the files from the phone are displayed
