Slideshow Screensaver cannot display local image file - Gameboy - 2021-11-11

I loaded a fresh build of Kodi 19.3 and somehow the application no longer can access local image files correctly.

When I try Slideshow Screensaver addon and point it to the local picture folder, it does not display anything (it is just blank black screen). The same thing happens when I point to the local image folder for the skin background image.

Any idea what might be causing this?

@Gameboy

Have you adjusted the settings in the addon to use Video Fanart? Are you using a specific folder with fanart or do you want to use fanart that is in the library?

Provide a Debug Log if still having problems- let the screensaver run for a few minutes, then run an Update Library.

I assume you have scraped your media into the library.

Never mind. I think I found the issue. I was pointing to a OneDrive folder where I had all of my pictures. I guess some of the folders were not sync'd to the local drive. I am syncing it now. Hopefully that will fix it.

Thanks.
