Could you provide playlist and and few image files I could use to replicate the issue and open trac ticket?
These are the steps I've take to produce the issue:
Playlist - Add file... - Files of type = All Files (*) - Select multiple images - Open - Hitting Play then shows each image at 10 seconds each
Save as a playlist
Reopen VLC
Playlist - Add file... - Select the playlist you just created - Open - Hitting play then flicks through the images as quickly as they load.
Double-clicking on the playlist file to open VLC also produces this issue.
I have re-tested hitting stop then play again and it doesn't resolve the issue as I said in the initial post.
Playlist preferences checked:
* Repeat all
* Automatically preparse files
Under the Fake Video Decoder preferences, I tried changing the Reload Image File setting to 10 seconds which also did nothing.
I haven't tested any other file format but jpg.
Below is an example of an xspf format of one of the playlists I have tested. I don't know how to upload the images, but you should be able to replicate the problem using any jpg images.
