Thanks. Good ideas. I saw some of the Gotham slideshow changes and noticed that video playback in a picture slideshow now flashes a fullsize video "thumbnail" (with a play button) before rolling the video, which makes for a very poor user experience in a sequence of videos. Do you know by chance if that has been changed/fixed or if anyone is planning to? The most recent nightly I saw still had it that way...

For Gotham, Ulion rewrote large parts of the picture department. That introduced the button. Also that unified behaviour to show single picture and a list. Nobody is currently working on pictures. Except some wip for raw-files.

Regarding auto refresh playlists/listings:
I've checked to use "Library watchdog", which uses sysevents/polling, for this. While there are more ways of doing this, this seems the best way to me. Do you have any other idea's?

I really appreciate your work on pictures.

Good to know and thanks. I'll keep pushing it forward. I'm not familiar enough with system events or Library Watchdog to comment unfortunately. But I'll think about it.

As that button is almost fixed, could you PR your (and tolriq's) fixes to Json rpc? Together with the python addon screensaver (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/2877) this would be very important picture improvements for Gotham. Then upnp is the last API to be completed..

And how to use extra parameters like shuffle or random? See http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1468410

I'm happy to help answer questions to anyone who wants to PR and own the changes, but I'm having to step back from working on XBMC as I've kept running into issues with the picture/slideshow side of the code so I've created a lightweight slideshow platform for pictures and video from the ground up that doesn't use XBMC.

Where would one find this lightweight program?
