Title: Slide show does not automatically change images
Post by: pwantzel on March 13, 2009, 01:37:57 pm

When I select a group of image files and press "Play" it only displays the first one.  I can change manually to the next image, but it doesn't automatically change.  Unless I have "Pan and scan" on!  With this option on, it does change automatically.  If I start with it off, then set it with the P key and immediately turn it off with another press of the P key, it works then too.

Is this the way it is supposed to work?  Is there a setting I am not seeing that would cause it to work?

I'm not able to reproduce this.  If you're not, make sure you're running the latest version of Media Center 13.

Just so you know, if you start playback of images by picking a single-file (double-click, etc.) it won't start a slideshow until you manually do so.

If multiple images (or no images) are selected, it should start the slideshow automatically.

The pan & zoom setting shouldn't make any difference, and doesn't seem to for me.

Any other tips?

This is version 13.0.132 running on WinXP Pro.  I will try this again tonight and confirm that it still does this.

I did try this with both no images selected and with multiple images selected. 

Question:  If I do select just one image (by double-clicking for instance) would you expect that manual changes to the next image would work?

You'll be able to manually change images with previous / next (or page up, page down, etc.).

Slideshow is linked to the pause state, so unpause (spacebar, etc.) to start the slideshow.
