Hi,

i’d love to have the ability of setting the slideshow delay in seconds for the photo library.

And the feature i’d love the most would be the ability to navigate to the previous/next photo with Left/Right key of the remote which is actually not possible on Plex for Android TV (Tested on Xiaomi Mi Box)

Best regards

I would really like to see this feature implemented. IMO, the slideshow cycles through the photos too fast. Would love it if you could adjust the display time (Something like 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60 sec.) This seems like a fairly easy feature to implement.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

> [@\[Feature Request\] Photo Slideshow speed controls](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-photo-slideshow-speed-controls/405297/1):

> Request for speed controls for slideshows. Just a simple option to decrease the speed to your desired setting. The current speed flies through far too quickly when using plex to show family photos. I’ve seen requests for this simple control for years so I’m going along the lines of the more requests, the more plex developers will get fed up and implement it.

Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).

Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
