Here are a few feature suggestions and bugs I found when navigating the slideshow with the xbox dvd remote. Mostly UI stuff. I'm using the latest t3ch 2008-01-06 rev 11247 build.
The remote Play button should start a slideshow when not in slideshow mode, for example when
-- viewing a photo (stopped)
-- viewing a photo (paused).
-- in the folder/picture navigation views
Reverse and Forward should be the same as Skip- and Skip+ in traversing the photos.
After pressing Info, pressing Info again does currently remove the info box. I have to press the "Menu" button to get out of it. This seems to be a bug.
Pressing "Title" should give me the title of the picture, similar to "Info" except in a corner in a non-intrusive way. The title might be extracted from the path, file name, or IPTC data (hopefully all user selectable).
Do there really need to be two buttons for "Slideshow" and "R. Slideshow"? They are never active at the same time anyway. I think there should be one button that just implements recursive slideshow.
If no developers are interested in implementing/fixing any of the above, I would be willing to help out if someone points me to the right files. I'm familiar with programming but not the XBMC source.
