Hi,

I have been struggeling with this for years, and I wonder why this bug is never fixed, it is still present in the altest Kodi 15.1 release.

Steps to reproduce:
- use a FUll HD display or any other display with 16:9 aspect ratio
- Disable Animations for slideshows in the Settings -> Pictures Menu
- enter Pcitures Browser, and select a folder containing pictures from a camra that produces pictures with an aspect ratio of 3:2, like most DSLRs do these days (i.e. 6000x4000 pixels)
- Start a slideshow

you will see, the pictures will be stretched to the screen, without any black bars, cuting of some portions of the original image.

This does not happen:
- if the pictures are viewed just by pressing Enter (you really have to enter slideshow mode, and there it is only visible if you turn off animations, as described before)
- if you look at pictures with 4:3 aspect ratio, as most consumer cameras do.

So this clearly is a bug, can it please be fixed?
