Why doesn't my photos play on my samsung smart tv from my flash drive

[kuhlman_c]

I plug in my flash drive and go to the menu and click photos and it says file is empty. However when plugged into my computer, the photos display nicely.

Are all the photos in the same directory in the root of the flash drive? Are they in a format the TV can see? Is the flash drive formatted in a file system the TV can read?
