Thanks for the log. It definitely shows something is wrong. Unfortunately I am out of my depth here.

The log is just filled with Announcement Spam - approx 184,000 lines of spam. That is why your log is so big. It is the following repeated.

xml:
21:19:35.503 T:6054   DEBUG: CAnnouncementManager - Announcement: OnClear from xbmc

21:19:35.503 T:6054   DEBUG: GOT ANNOUNCEMENT, type: 2, from xbmc, message OnClear

This is something for the developers to look at. Hopefully @spiff or others can look at it.

Sorry there is nothing else I can do here.

It might also help if you provide some statistics on your Pictures library.

How many folders
How many images
What format are the images

Here is another log with EXIF turned off.
The same thing happens. Crash.

I still think it has something to do with the number of photos. Of a slideshow just one years worth of pictures, all works well. But if I try all 19 years worth, no slideshow.
