Im trying to create a picture playlist where some pictures are held on screen for longer than others.
I believe m3u playlists allow duration to be added, but i may wrong.

Kodi seems to get upset when i give it one of these lists, it seems to pickup the titles but when told to run through them no images are shown.

Will add logs and code example shortly - but top level - should duration work as part of a playlist file?

These are the two playlist types that i've tried to get going.
Just going to run through it all again with fresher head / eyes and create some debug logs.

So it seems i can create a slideshow of the m3u list, but that slideshow honors the global picture slideshow settings. Half expected outcome i guess.
I can't however just get the playlist to play. It loads the playlist and lets me navigate it - again half expected outcome.

Is there a way to introduce the kodi player to the full m3u list so it just plays it and honors the duration parameter set in that file?
via API call perhaps?

Did you launch playlist slideshow from Context menu?

[DoubleT]

yes - thats pretty much the only option i can see. 
context menu > recursive slideshow
but the player doesnt seem to honor the durations set in the file

Duration is only set for audio files for all other types info is thrown away.

Thanks for confirming
