Dear all,
this is my first post on this community forum, so apologies if I have done something wrong.
I have kodi version 17.3 installed on Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian.
After upgrade to 17.3 from version 16, I am facing a problem when using picture slide show.
With version 16 the slide show worked fine even with pan and zooming animations, after the upgrade instead the slide show is very slow and nothing change if I change the time interval between pictures.
The image fading is slow and if I turn on the pan/zoom it is so slow that it can barely be noted.
On a side note, soon after upgrading I had to increase the amount of memory dedicated to graphic acceleration to 128MB in order to be able to see the pictures in the first place. Again strange if we think that with version 16 this was not necessary.
I also tried to solve the slide show problem increasing even further the memory of the graphic board (up to 512MB) with no effect.
Here after the log in debug mode during the slide show:

There are few errors, but I couldn’t find anything on the web that solved this problem, apart from some very old non applicable posts.
The only thing that I noticed is that a non negligible time lag exists just before the event “image xxx finished rendering”, but I don’t understand why.
In the end it is also worth noticing that if during the slide show I press the next button, the next picture get showed pretty quickly (less than a second) so I doubt this is just a slow rendering problem. It seems just that the slide show likes to be slow with apparently no reasons.
For now I run out of ideas, so please let me know your thoughts.
Cheers
