XBMC black screen slideshow for picture folders that contain videos

Just out of curiosity why does the picture viewer go black when it reaches a video in a pictures folder? When I have the slideshow on or am scrolling through pictures if I reach a movie on my SD card the image goes black and no amount of switching forward or backward brings back the pictures, i have to exit back to the thumbnails and select the next image after the movie to regain my picture viewing.... any ideas on this one besides "removing the movies from the folder" (it's an SD camera card)

I have exactly the same problem, even with older versions. This is the only reason I'm not using xbmc, otherwise everything is great. i.e. I have tons of pictures mixed with videos I want to just relax and watch that on my tv with the fam, I haven't found an app that works correctly yet for that (MS, picassa...)

Note: I tried both the xp32 and win7 version, live version as well. Movies are .mov (but .avi produce the same). Movies play fine when launched directly (within xbmc)

glad i'm not the only one..

Ok I did what's described below (advanced settings.xml) and it works as long as you actually launch the slideshow (right click, slideshow). If you click on a picture then try to advance manually, I get the black screen. If I let the slideshow run, it works

I also have this problem with my ATV2 running B3. Usually images are just copied from a camera on my hard drive, and I want to browse them with XBMC. It is not necessary to play a video when browsing trough images and a video is reached, but right now the screen just goes black and it is required to end the slideshow and start a new one after the video.

It would be really great if this could be fixed in beta stage.

Cheers!

I have the same issue on Ubuntu. Browsing through pictures and then blank screen when I hit a movie (in my case.mov) file. Can still here key press sounds and I am able to exit out, skip past the movie file and carry on. Very annoying!
