Some updates later (sorry, I dont't remember exactly when, maybe one or two), stop work.

But at me work. And there are no errors. I am happy to correct the error, if any. But here the second case, that error can not I catch Or maybe it just does not.

I found something strange for me in the source code:
File: Utils.cs, lines 1681, 1682, function LoadSettings()

UseMyPicturesSlideShow = settings.GetValueAsBool("FanartHandler", "UseMyPicturesSlideShow", UseMyPicturesSlideShow);
UseMyPicturesSlideShow = settings.GetValueAsBool("FanartHandler", "FastScanMyPicturesSlideShow", FastScanMyPicturesSlideShow);

In the second line, UseMyPicturesSlideShow is loaded again with the value obtained from FastScanMyPicturesSlideShow. As far as I can see, this isn't used in FanartHandler.xml, so is loaded with the default value: false.

In fact, in function SaveSettings(), lines 1797-1798, the "parallel" line is comented, so from here, FastScanMyPicturesSlideShow is never stored:

xmlwriter.SetValueAsBool("FanartHandler", "UseMyPicturesSlideShow", UseMyPicturesSlideShow);
// xmlwriter.SetValueAsBool("FanartHandler", "FastScanMyPicturesSlideShow", FastScanMyPicturesSlideShow);

Also in LoadMyPicturesSlideShowFolders() (line 1451), the first check don't load the folders if UseMyPicturesSlideShow is false

    public static void LoadMyPicturesSlideShowFolders()
    {
      if (!UseMyPicturesSlideShow)
        return; 

      try
      {

In this case, probably will be better load folder settings regardless of the value in UseMyPicturesSlideShow. Maybe someone wants deactivate temporarily UseMyPicturesSlideShow but retaining his folder configuración. The same when saving.

I hope this can help. Thanks.

Already Fixed in Beta ...

Maybe someone wants deactivate temporarily UseMyPicturesSlideShow but retaining his folder configuración.

This option can be enabled only in the configuration, the image is loaded into memory and nowhere are stored. If the option is disabled, there is no sense to look for and store pictures.

Add FastScanMyPicturesSlideShow - yes to config file and try or try use last beta ...

I already did and it works. Thanks.

Sorry, you're right and I agree. I forgot that the configuration is in the XML file and is not deleted even if not saved again.

Another thing: maybe you will want to include the Spanish translation for FanartHandler and Latest Media Handler, so here they are.

You can try the default skins. Or my themes for titanium.

PS: Try clearing your cache, run the media portal, wait 1 minute, if there is no picture, then press the green button to make it appear and give me the log file.

Just installed Titanius, Uninstalled it and now this system is truly shot..Try to start MP and taskbar disappears followed by a black screen lockup, I've been setting up Windows 10 on a separate drive for a while, Guess I'm being pushed into using it a little sooner than I'd like... I'll be back in a few hours with better news I hope.
