Question 
Alright so something overlooked apparently in the original release of xperience was the SlideShow.xml for some reason.

I'm trying to figure out a few things so the functions are correct.

1) Reading here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Act..._slideshow and looking at the basic controls, I understand those. What I'm wondering is why some skins have the option to enable showing 'Paused' in a picture slide show, and what exactly that entails because pressing 'P' seems to do nothing.

2) When playing audio and then starting a slide show and pressing 'X' to stop the slide show I personally feel it would be a lot nicer to have an option to stop the audio playing, so I'm curious if this is possible?

3) With almost every Dialog in the skin when it's active and I press 'Esc' it takes me to the previous screen I was on, Now I have tested this in Confluence and reFocus and the function works great while a slide show is going, pressing 'Esc' in those 2 skins makes the Dialog go away and the slide show keeps playing, this is not the case with xperience, it just exits to the pics folder.

4) Pressing (NO AUDIO PLAYING) 'I' presumably for 'Info' (yes I'm aware picture info is mapped to 'O') get's me this:

which is what you get when you press 'I' in MusicVisualization.xml. Yes I copied coding from that xml to have it there when audio is playing however I can't seem to make it not appear when audio isn't playing. Code for this is here: http://pastebin.com/x9LX6wRU

5) While a audio is playing at the same time as slide show and pressing 'F' I get this:

which for some reason cannot be stopped. Is there anything that can be done so it'll stop fast forwarding the audio?

I have done a fair bit of searching here on the forums, Google, and the wiki with not many results. This post has some similar requests: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=79649

And finally but not least, how would I go about updating this page on the wiki: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=My_...s_Settings ?

Thanks for reading, any help would be great Smile

1. Spacebar is the Pause control for Slideshow and it's an on-screen indication that's it's paused.

2. I guess it's just stopping the last thing that was started.

3. Just tested this with Revisited and Confluence and they go back to my pictures as well.

4. Change your visibility conditions at the top to <visible>Player.ShowInfo + Player.HasMedia</visible>

5. Good call - seeing as Spacebar pauses the slideshow then surely 'p' can be used to play/pause the music. JM?

EDIT: The music info shown while playing a slideshow is basically a Now Playing panel and for complete music control you can still use the Player Controls (m).
