Slideshow function - is there a way to limit to currently playing album?
Dennis Beltmann
In the new Media Center for Win7, I can't seem to find a way to set
the slideshow to only show the .jpgs in the currently playing music
folder. I have many artwork scans (cover, tray, booklet, etc) in each
albums music folder. I've used slideshow plugin's for Winamp and
WMP 10 that do this very well (only show images in currently playing
folder). Is there a setting somewhere (registry possibly) to tell
Media Center's slideshow to do this. It seems ridiculous to have
pictures of my family vacation as a slideshow when listening to a Beatles
album when I have scans of that album's artwork which should be used
instead.

order in which pictures are shown, whether or not pictures in subfolders
will be included in your slide show, the type of transition you want, the
duration of the transitions, and other aspects of a slide show presentation.
You can use Favorite Pictures options also, there you will get an option
'Use pictures from this folder', thus you can specify the path.
[ Open Windows Media Center >Tasks >Settings > Pictures ]

Thanks for the reply, however, I already am aware of these settings. But
no where is there seemingly a way to tell MC to "automatically" use only the
.jpgs in the CURRENTLY playing media folder ("Beatles\Beatles For Sale",
etc). I can set it to use the C:\MP3's folder on my hard drive, but to
set it to
only use the "Beatles For Sale" subdirectory, I would have to go to
settings and
manually tell it to use that specific subfolder each time I play that
specific album.
MS may need to add a setting such as "Use currently playing media
folder only"
to achieve what I'm referring to.
The following third party plugin does what I'm referring to in Media
Player for
Win7, which in my prior version of Media Center it also worked since
Media Center
also used all Media Player plugins in prior versions. The new version
of Media Center
seemingly doesn't use Media Player plugins.
