Question / Help Image Slide Show Limited to first 7 images

I've created an Image Slide Show, but it only ever cycles through the first 7 images, regardless of whether I do it automatically or manually. If I move a lower image up, then it appears, but one of the original 7 is now image 8 and is not shown.

I can't see any settings that suggest a limit to the slide show time or number of images. Anyone seen this / got any thoughts?
 
What resolution are the images? The slideshow caps at 250MB of image data but 7 images seems too low to be triggering that.
 
How to get this problem solved? We stream with 8k and pictures are 25 megapixel. Windows machine is 96 gb ram. Where you can fix this?
 
no answer by a developer how to fix the bug...?

my pictures are 360 gb panoramas so with lowest resolution i have 100 mb for one picture. which is the last version without this bug?
 
Increase Image Gallery Slideshow Limit and Other Tips

Hi,

Short of the Long:

  • Rename image sequence with a numeric value (1,2,3,4,5)
  • OBS goes through the sequence like this: 1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29
  • Export/Resize: With 4000,x2000 exported by 50%, 2000,x1000, I went from 6 to 22 images
  • Use JPG format, 80% compression staying within the 250mb constraint of the Image Gallery Slideshow
  • Put files on local drive (may not be necessary, just trying to avoid any permissions issues using external drives)
  • Export with a sRGB color profile (the best chance of carrying over the same color you see on your computer to what you see in the browser)
  • Very smooth transition speed, Time Between Slides, 5000 milliseconds and Transition Speed, 5000 milliseconds...like butta, :)
  • Visibility Behavior, set to Pause when not visible, unpause when visible to allocate sources to active functionality already in play
  • Been racking my brain on this, although, decreasing the image dimensions, Height and Width, allowed for more images to be passed through the gallery.

My original JPGs were roughly, 4,000 x 2000 (give or take), and was only getting about 6 images passing through the gallery.

I exported those images from Lightroom to half the original dimensions, 50% with a compression of 80% and sRGB color space to play nice with web browsers.

I pulled the directory folder and put it on my Desktop to ensure no Permission were interfering of a external raid I had them on (covering all potential issues, may not be necessary)

I pointed OBS at the Directory and increased the images passing through OBS to 29, although, it stops at that point and rotates back to the first.

Things to note, I exported the files with a numeric filename sequence, 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg.

The sequence runs like this, 1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29...and that is as far as I got.

I am not sure what OBS is doing with the images, although, this solves at least some restrictions...

Hope this helps.

If you add leading zeroes to your filenames you should get the sequence you want. OBS is treating the filename like a string, because it is a string.
 
Any idea why there is this constraint? Never seen a slide show tool with such a limit. It only needs to keep two images in memory and then, only during the transition...
 
It goes by decompressed image size. Doesn't matter how much they're compressed as .jpg's -- all that matters is resolution and color depth.
 
Because this limit is exists it would be REALLY good if the Slide Show could somehow indicate when the memory limit has been reached.
At present, if you reach the limit with say 10 slides but you have loaded 15 slides: it SEEMS that all 15 slides load successfully, no warnings or limits appear in the loading interface. But then they all don't play in the actual slide show, OBS just silently ignores the last 5 slides.
It gives no warning or indication that it OBS is ignoring the last 5 slides.
It's very confusing to try and make slide shows and find the limit simply by trial and error.
 
I'm having the same issue. I get 3 jpgs and 2 gifs to load before it loops back to the beginning. Total filesize of those file files is 26MB.
 
Then that's probably closer to 400MB worth of BMP

Which is what the limit is based on.

The limit is based on the UNCOMPRESSED size of the images. JPG is a compressed format.
 
Sorry to bring this up but having same issue, number of slides =169 size of entire slideshow = 17.5mb jpg format, only text on black background. Reaches 124 then loops back to 1.... How to fix ?
