Smarter Photo and Video slideshow

i am using Plex Media Server, with photo folder stored online and mounted locally (using rclone).

I have thousands of photo, when i do photo slideshow playback, i notice the playback of each photo will show only about 5 second, and i cannot find a way or option to change it, please allow to change the slideshow duration.

and i notice, if photo is large, it may take more than 5 second to download, and the slideshow will just try download and after 5 second it jump to next photo without showing the current photo??

i hope by right, it should showing the current photo, and stay not to jump to next until next photo is readily available to show, instead of showing blank screen then next then next then next, this is unbelievable…

this can be easily reproduced, using rclone mount a online cloud, put large photo of 50MB each and start the slide show, limit your rclone speed to 5MB/s so it hit 5 second time out each photo, you will know what i am saying.
