## Description

Reddit Slideshow Spectacular! turns your Reddit feeds into full-screen, keyboard-driven media slideshow. Open a feed, subreddit, multireddit, or search results on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/d613ac6f1e810cb84d22fb73d71bcee20261111b03bca28c0892071be47c0f2f/http%3A//old.reddit.com" rel="nofollow">old.reddit.com</a> or <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/a1b4e6d4424a017e62e400fca715d2086015588f28c068da20c3c5217a52b04d/http%3A//www.reddit.com" rel="nofollow">www.reddit.com</a>, click the toolbar icon (or press Alt+Shift+S), and lean back.

The Slideshow reuses your existing logged-in Reddit session - no API keys, no sign-in, no extra account. It walks media posts in the order Reddit returns them and pages through the feed automatically, so the slideshow keeps going past the first page.

WHAT'S NEW - V1.4.2
<ul><li>NEW: Ignoring/blocking an author also adds them to a local Slideshow ignore list, so their posts keep being skipped even if Reddit refuses another account block</li><li>IMPROVED: Preloaded videos hand off more smoothly, reducing pauses between clips</li><li>FIXED: A timing bug when rapidly moving through photos could make the slide you land on advance too quickly</li><li>IMPROVED: Long post titles show a clearer 200ms tooltip, and reading it holds the next transition without pausing video playback</li><li>IMPROVED: Settings, help, jump, and skipped-post panels stay open independently of slide changes</li></ul>
Full release notes: <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/00b30aa1c0c74d420bb13cb89ceb0b158e500a0260ebf7eb2020f8751e3b485f/https%3A//github.com/Rio517/reddit-slideshow-spectacular/releases" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Rio517/reddit-slideshow-spectacular/releases</a>

WHAT IT PLAYS
<ul><li>Direct Reddit images (full-resolution <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/81e40807248441ca24f789047ae28a7a8266f8ad344ea6f4977e4473d60d20e5/http%3A//i.redd.it" rel="nofollow">i.redd.it</a> where available)</li><li>Reddit galleries, expanded into one slide per image</li><li>Reddit-hosted video (<a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/6152ba7d4050b9d64aec2a9e0cec100d2e42271402d370604d273e406322881c/http%3A//v.redd.it" rel="nofollow">v.redd.it</a>), with its sound (the separate audio track)</li><li>Redgifs, Imgur (.gifv), Streamable, and Giphy clips, played as native video</li><li>Imgur albums, expanded into one slide per image</li><li>Catbox video and image files</li><li>Crossposts, resolved to the original post's media</li></ul>
The queue is media-only: text/self posts, outbound article links, stickied announcements, and promoted/ad posts are skipped, and media that fails to load is skipped too - so the slideshow never lands on a dead slide.

CONTROLS
<ul><li>Keyboard: Left/Right to move (Shift+Right skips to the next post; Page Up/Page Down jump back/ahead 10), Up/Down to upvote/downvote the post, Space to play/pause, M to mute, F for fullscreen, D to download, I to block the author (and skip their post), A to friend/follow the author, Esc to close</li><li>An on-screen control rail: previous, play/pause, next, mute, fullscreen, open in a window, and settings</li><li>Under each slide: a byline (who posted it, to which subreddit, the source and resolution), with buttons to open the original post or download the media</li><li>Click the position counter to jump straight to any post in the loaded queue</li><li>Click the dark backdrop to close</li><li>Images advance on a timer you set; the timer keeps running even after you arrow through manually, and videos advance when the clip ends</li></ul>
NICE TOUCHES
<ul><li>Slide transitions: fade, slide, push, zoom, flip, or none</li><li>Optional top countdown timer bar (on video slides, every slide, or never)</li><li>Optional slow pan &amp; zoom for images too big to see at once</li><li>A pinned position counter and post title so you always know where you are</li><li>"Open in a window" reopens the slideshow in a minimal popup window, ready to AirPlay or Chromecast to a TV or second screen for a lean-back, big-screen feed</li><li>Duplicate skipping: reposts, crossposts, and repeated galleries are skipped, and a perceptual hash (on by default) also catches the same image re-uploaded under a new link - solo vs. in a gallery</li><li>"Open original" jumps to the source post</li></ul>
SETTINGS (apply live, no reload)
<ul><li>Time per image (1 second to 5 minutes, on a fine-at-the-low-end scale)</li><li>Slide transition</li><li>Timer bar visibility</li><li>How long to wait for slow media before moving on</li><li>Autoplay videos on/off, start muted on/off</li><li>Include NSFW - by default follows your Reddit session, showing over-18 content only insofar as your account already does</li><li>Skip duplicate media, including re-uploaded images (on by default)</li><li>Pan &amp; zoom large images (or all images), with full control over the sequence</li></ul>
PRIVACY

No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no accounts, and no developer servers (there are none). The extension only fetches the media you're viewing: the feed and its media from Reddit, and provider clips from Imgur, Redgifs, Streamable, Giphy, and Catbox. The only things that write to your Reddit account are voting (up/down keys), blocking an author (I), and friending/following an author (A) - each only when you press its key. Your settings are stored locally on your computer, and it ships no remote code. Full policy: see the privacy policy link.
