I have done this by simply putting the desired image files on a CD/DVD with
k3b. My DVD player read the disc and automatically played it as a slide show.
No special software needed, though others may know of some to do more
sophisticated things.

Did you burn it as a data disk? I tried that and they won't display on
the TV. I didn't see any other way to burn them.

Yup...an ordinary data---though, to be honest, I don't remember whether I
burnt a CD or a DVD.

I did it with a cd back when I still had 9.1.

This depends on two things - the CD/DVD playeri itself and how the
CD/DVD was burned. Some CD/DVD players support formats such as the
Photo CD. If the CD/DVD is burned in accordance with this standard and
the CD/DVD player supports it ... then yes it will support it. I have a
Sampo 631CF - it will display JPEGs in a slide show as well (has a
Compact Flash on it to boot!). Other cheaper Taiwan models ($20-30
Sears/Radio Shack modesl) ... they are cheap in every way and tend to
overall not work let alone display pictures - at least the ones I have
and tried to use ... YMMV.

But if you simply burn a series of JPEG pictures and expect it to work -
you're in for a rude awakening.

So - more info is needed on the player before really accurate answers
can be provided.

most dvd readers can read medium size jpg. for heavy
weighted phots, its questionable.

Look for editoring software that will create VCDs. Even my five year
old DVD player will play VCDs.

Unless it really needs to be on a CD, and not on a DVD, you could try
this:

I tried creating as a data DVD but could not view them and could not see
any other way to create the DVD. Is there some plugin for k3b?

I just did this today.... first time. Threw about 20 pictures on a CD (data
CD project) and it played on 3 DVD players here... Some players are better
than others... for speed or for slide shows.

I use -R dvd the older players dont work with +R.
I have a sony so it does not matter but -R is more widely supported.

That is what I used. I believe my player does not support looking at
pictures.
Thanks for the help.
