[WIP] Multi Slideshow Screensaver

I'm using this on Windows and on a Pi2 - it's great. However I have noticed that portrait photos are cropped to landscape on both platforms. Seen in the table top sequence.

It would also be nice if it could display Exif comments from photos like the Google photo screen saver can. I use Picasa to enter the comments.
Can anyone give some pointers on where to fix/implement these?

Default slideshow behaviour is to autofill 20% in attempt to reduce black bars for panorama's (= ratio > 1.9:1). To correct this cropping behavior and show the original Jpeg 1:1 as you intended it for playback, the setting below should be applied to your advancedsettings.xml:

Code:
<slideshow>
  <blackbarcompensation>0</blackbarcompensation>  
</slideshow>

Changing this to be default behavior makes sense. Maybe this should even be promoted to a GUI-setting [Toggle: Blackbar compensation]. But advancedsettings.xml isn't used by addons so I guess this can only be fixed in Kodi.
