[17 beta5] Music playback during photos watching
#1
Hello,

I've got a problem with palying music during whatching photos. When I start an slideshow music stops to play.
Under Javris music was palying in the background... Is that a bug or a "feature"?

I have the same issue. First time this happened is in beta 5 so, I guess it's a bug

It was an accidental feature that it used to work. We'll see on adding it back in the correct way. No promises when

There is a PR to restore the "happy accident" of being able to play background music while looking at a slideshow of pictures. As before the music will stop if the slideshow encounters a video.

Gee I hope that is a joke!

No Martijn was quite serious. But the PR restoring this feature (with its limits) has been merged, so subsequent builds will have it working.

Phew, thank goodness for that. As happy accidents go that one's right up there with the discovery of penicillin as far as I'm concerned. Thanks Dave, I'd be devastated if Kodi lost that ability.

I would really think this was a planned feature. Why not? It's one of the main usages I had with WMC and I really enjoyed this working as well in Kodi.

At some point somebody must have thought that up...no?

Agreed Id be really disappointed if this stopped working, as I use it a lot.

Funny that this was/is an accidental feature. I think it's a great feature.
