    Why are slideshows so slow on my LaCie Portable Multimedia Player?
    • R
      rbrownSep 4, 2025
      Slideshows may be sluggish because photos can take several seconds to load, depending on their file size. To improve slideshow performance, reduce the photo's resolution to decrease the file size, which will allow the files to load faster.
