Slideshow not playing videos correctly
#1
Hi Everyone,

I am using Kodi 17.6 on a Raspberry Pi 2 with raspbian stretch (up to date) and am experiencing a problem with the slideshow feature.

I've copied some images and videos onto my sd card and wrote a basic autoexec.py to start the slideshow, whenever my kodi starts. The script works fine, the pictures slide nicely. However I see only a black screen, when Kodi tries to play the .mp4 files in the slideshow folder. The videofiles are intact and playing perfectly smooth, when i manually play them in kodi.

On my Windows 10 machine this feature works as intendet with Kodi 17.6.

At some point I realized, that the videos are in fact playing, but not within the slideshow window. It seems that they run in background in a "wrong" window and get overlayed by a black picture from the slideshow.

Any Ideas how that can be fixed?

Regards,

Dennis

No Ideas? Nobody else facing this problem on a rPi?

Should I create a bug report?

This was reported by many user on versions of Kodi starting from 17 here https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=305053

Admin basically dismissed it as platform specific leaving to users to sort it out and repeat in platform forums. Quite discouraging.
