Config Dialog: Playlist Filter

Both the Main Media Window and the Image & Thumbnail Browser provide slideshows

• the slideshow in the Image & Thumbnail Browser is more specialized towards images and has more controls
• the slideshow in the main MMP is more generalized (and will include audio and video files with a mixed folder and a mixed playlist filter)
• both are useful depending on your requirements at the time
• both slideshows make use of a setting in the minimalistmediaplayer.conf file: slideshowIntervalMs=500, followed by the number of milliseconds to display each image.
• if you set this duration, both slideshows will take this as the starting speed
• if the duration is not set, both slideshows will start at 2 seconds (2000 milliseconds) per image

Main Media Window

In the Main Media Window's slideshow, the following slideshow control is available:

Control	Action
[Spacebar]	play/pause/resume slideshow

• if the Main Media Window slideshow gets to the end of the playlist, MMP will exit at the end of the final item if it isn't an image, unless you have Next Folder On End set
• if you have set infinite repeat with Ctrl [R], this will still affect audio and video files, but not images
• playlist controls are still available, such as FIRST, NEXT, PREVIOUS, and LAST. The slideshow will continue
• if you turn Shuffle Mode on, the slideshow will play continuously
• if you are running a slideshow in the Main Media Window and you switch to the Image & Thumbnail Browser (Ctrl-[I], [T] or [Y]) the slideshow will be paused automatically

Image & Thumbnail Browser

The following slideshow controls are available in the Image & Thumbnail Browser

Control	Action
[Spacebar]	pause/resume slideshow
Ctrl-[Spacebar]	switch the slideshow direction and resume the slideshow
[/]	speed Up by 100ms
[\]	speed Dn by 100ms
[1]	reset speed to default set in Config Dialog

• the slideshow direction is shown when you press [Spacebar] or Ctrl-[Spacebar]
• likewise, when you alter the speed, the new speed will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the window
• note that when you slow down the slideshow with [], the milliseconds that the image will be displayed will increase
• conversely, when you speed up the slideshow with [/], the milliseconds delay will decrease

- if the slideshow gets to the end of the playlist, it will loop back to [and continue from] the first image - if a reverse slideshow gets to the beginning of the playlist, it will loop to the end of the playlist and continue - you can use the folder navigation controls to change the folder as the slideshow is playing - there is currently no option to run either of the slideshows in fullscreen mode. This is planned for a future release of **MMP**
