It's a bug, but something that shouldn't affect many users since it wouldn't occur without this symlink loop. It's probably affecting also the reading of the ROM/game folders, which would make EmulationStation freeze on start-up in this kind of scenario.

@sleve_mcdichael said in Video slideshow has blank screen between some videos:

They're read from the gamelist, right? Or no?

Yes.

After this PR will be merged, it will be possible to use a separate folder for videos, just like for images, in the screensaver.

@mitu Alright, thank you for your help.

You can connect a second display only over the GPIO - something similar to this setup should get your 2 independent displays - one for normal gaming via HDMI and a 2nd one over the connected over SPI (GPIO pins).
The 2nd display can be used for showing the images (via fbi) or even videos (via omxplayer).

@noobsaibot It depends, you still haven't provided any info about your system.

Sorry for the late response. Yes I did try the option to stretch the image but that did not fix the problem.

thanks for the reply i will check it out. by doing what you said, will the slideshow option show in the ES UI menu like the other image .

Yes it is still available, just update Kodi first in RetroPie-Setup before downgrading.
