Can I ask how you mapped the image viewer to your NAS? I'm struggling to get mine to see other network devices.

I installed the cifs kernel module, created a directory as a mount point, then put the mount command in the startup scripts
The kernel module is here

copy the ko file to somewhere suitable on the device and add the insmod and mount commands to the startup scripts
I added the following 2 lines
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/cifs.ko
(/bin/sleep 20; /bin/mount -t cifs //192.168.1.xxx/pics /media/photos -o user=me,password=xxxxxxx)&
I run the sleep and mount in a parallel subshell because it takes a little while for my network to start up. If I run the mount command too early it doesn't work, and 20 seconds is quite a long time to wait. You might get away with a shorter sleep followed by the mount command on a separate line.
then to activate the slideshow you need the image viewer plugin installed - installing it on the server will cause it to be installed on the joggler. Under settings, sources choose local media
