Hi,
I think for the slideshow viewer (me included) it's irrelevant to show the message "cannot show picture xyz.mov". I have multiple movies in a directory, and the only thing I see for one minute is this message.

Keep up the good work!

Regards,
Edwin

The question is should we skip those files completely, or should we display the movies if possible?
I would vote for skipping them.

I'm agree too

I wouldn't mind to view the movies (if I were able to). Why not make it configurable ?

SVN commit 1179729 by aclemens:

Do not load items if they are other types than DatabaseItem::Image.
Right now the slideshow is not capable to display non-image types like movies,
so we should skip them completely, to avoid an annoying error message for every
single item.

In the future, we should consider to add these type of items, too.

I will close this one now, please file a wish (if not already existent) for supporting all media in the slideshow.
