Help Can't view photos using WiFi Direct from Note 8 to Samsung F8000 TV.

[yeto]

When I try to view photos using WiFi Direct on my Note 8 to my Samsung TV I get the following messages:

Waiting to send files.
Failed to send files.

I have both the Note 8 and the Samsung TV in WiFi Direct mode and they both say connected. Does it matter which input I have selected on the TV? What would prevent the Note 8 from transferring the photos? There are a lot of Bluetooth and WiFi signals bouncing around in this building.

Would anyone have any idea as to what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance for any help,
yeto

I use an app called Woven Photo Viewer with my Note 8 and my Samsung Smart TV. It works fine but it takes a while to download your photos from the cloud. It's much faster if your photos are on your SD card.
