Narrative

As a user, I want to view files in Slideshow Modein Media Viewer, so I can play them more easily.

Acceptance Criteria

We would like to offer a very simple slideshow mode, to let users play all files for a collection in light box view, with a few basic features like:

Play all files
Pause playback
Go to file (or rewind to start)
Settings (speed, repeat)

See this design exploration PDF on how Media Viewer design concepts can support different media types.

For specific design recommendations, review slides starting at page 7 (see mockup below, and notes below that).

Mockup

Notes

One challenge is to find a natural location for the 'Play' button in light box view, that doesn't interfere with other parts of the UI.
This is a 'nice to have' feature, not a 'must-have' -- so we can't spend a lot of time on it.
For example, the video and audio features below are more important.
We can integrate it with fullscreen.

Something that seems to be missing here is how this mode is triggered. I expect that showing all the thumbnails won't be the default when opening the multimedia viewer, right?

I think that this can be broken down into 2 subcards: basic display of the thumbnail strip and another card for actual slideshow play/pause/repeat feature.

Guilles, at page 7 of the PDF you can see the sequence indicator at the bottom-right side. That is what allows to open the thumbnail panel (which is initially closed).
