An unexpected error has occurred (50005)

[Scotty06]

I am not able to display My Photos. My Favorites has no problem, but when I try to display My Photos I am now getting the above message. I have been able to display them in the past. Any help?

WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM REPEATEDLY ON OUR 49 INCH FRAME.  WE ARE DISGUSTED WITH SAMSUNG SERVICE!

We load in about 50 personal photos using a usb thumb drive.  Pictures are set to exactly 1600 by 900 pixels.  They will be visible for a week or two but then suddenly for no reason they can no longer be "set" and give error code 50005.  You can see the thumbnails but they cannot be "set", that is selected to full screen size.

Repeated calls to Samsung service have yeilded no answers.  They cannot tell me what 50005 means.  I have even talked to their software division and they are no help. Once I let them reset my TV remotely.  BAD MISTAKE! Everything, apps, settings, etc was gone and I had to laboriously restart every setting.

We now keep a file folder on the laptop with the pictures and when the 50005 infection happens (four times now) we have to remove all photos from the Frame TV one at a time, load up a thumbdrive with the saved photos on the laptop, and then re-save them into My Photos on the Frame TV.  This takes about a half hour but at least we can get back to normal.

Very disappointed in Samsung.

Thanks for sharing how you are navigating this problem. I'm frustrated that Samsung is not helping you, and apparently, the rest of us would get the same treatment.

I have a feeling they are not interested in fixing this issue because they want the monthly subscription to their art store!

I have the same issue with the 500005 error. I've searched the Internet for a solution -- with no luck. I hope someone will figure this out. Is it unreasonable to expect Samsung to address our issue?

I have exactly the same issue. Error code 5005. Will not display in my photos. I find this very troubling Samsung! Is this how you force us to buy your monthly subscription?

Exactly the same problem !  Photos added 4+ months ago and everything worked fine until a couple of weeks ago when this error appeared. Would love to have a solution or fix that doesn't involve deleting and reloading everything. I have been very happy with this product largely because of this feature, and have been recommending it. Needless to say, if this isn't addressed that recommendation will change.

Here is an answer that I received this Monday 09/21/20 by email...and it works for me!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing Samsung Frame TV

We recommend that you perform a Smart hub reset. Please follow these steps:
Go to Settings > Support > Self Diagnosis > Reset Smart Hub

After the reset, please wait for (10-20min) and log into your Samsung account one more time so you can access the Art Store.

Now, could you please confirm that you are using the correct account by following these steps:

Settings > General > System Manager > Samsung Account

Best regards,

Frame CS

Error recoccurs ... This solution does not "fix" anything. 

I have had a slew of problems with the art mode.

Samsung.. please fix this piece of junk software.

[userZFYwQAkgZ0]

The Samsung frame has much difficulty displaying my photos.

It's keeps crashing ... 

Literally crashed right after resetting

Samsung, your suggested resolution is not a fix.
