The new mobile app Slideshow feature has some inconsistencies with the web version:

Slideshow duration is locked to minimum 5s, maximum 30s, in steps of 5s. This is very dissapointingly lacking in granularity: On web i can enter any amount of seconds, up to hours (3600s seems to work). I would like an option to enter the duration manually like on Web.
No option to disable subtle Zoom. On mobile, its not possible to get rid of the zoom in/zoom out effect at all. This effect is very undesireable to me, as its constant movement and disregards the selected display mode (Contain/Cover/Blurred bg)
- Note: Not even "Remove Animations" fully gets rid of it: New mobile app slideshow does not fully respect "Remove Animations" accessibility setting (Android) #29806
No way to show subtle progress bar like on web.
No "Show slideshow transition" toggle, unlike on web.
No "Autoplay Slideshow" toggle, unlike on web.
No "Show image info overlay" toggle, unlike on web.
Slideshow preload seems to be slow, after running for a while on 5s/image its only showing low res preview images. The web version does not seem to have this issue. on the same device with the same network conditions it manages to load the high-res preview of each image just fine.

I also have some actual feature requests

An option to change the the transition beyond disabling it. A common one is "swipe"
When viewing search results: The slideshow stops after the currently loaded results are exhausted, instead of loading the next page of results in the background. I would love the option to keep going. Perhaps for search it would make sense to be able to set a limit, since it'll go through the entire library otherwise.
