Hi!
Just playing with you addon and I found it very nice! Really very beautifull!
I have a request, if possible : Can you have an option for playing a slideshow for images allready stored in the folder of each album? Playing images not stored in a single folder but the ones that exists in the folder of the album that plays in the moment. I have classical cd albums with scanned all the album art and images and these all are stored in each album's folder. I would like very much to see this images in a slideshow.

I decided to quote this message from about a year and a half ago to see if anything has been, or is being, done regarding this request.

Honestly, no. I can look at it again, but I think last time I started digging I found it difficult to find out the actual path to the file that was playing, and without that "current folder" doesn't really have any meaning.

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps another programmer can figure out a way to come up with a separate add-on called "Album Folder Slideshow", but as you said, maybe it's
really tricky to do in XBMC.
The odd thing, while I realize XBMC is unable to use Winamp plugins, there is an old Winamp general plugin called "ShowCover" that I've been using for at least 12 years
now, that does exactly what I've been describing, and it also works in any media player that uses general Winamp plugins. It only consists of one dll, a text file (for config) and a skinnable .bmp file, which I edited to suit my taste. It's old, from way back in 2000, and I don't believe the programmer has updated it since 2000. But
you may want to download it to see how it works (assuming you have a copy of Winamp to install it to). I've resized it to full screen, so if I open it while playing a track in Winamp, it scrolls through the folder artwork full screen. Also, this works beautifully in Media Monkey.

Here's the link to the plugin...........
