I used to be able to play a slide show using my Photos album. I could set the time for a new picture to pop up.
I can still choose the Photos album, but cannot find how to change the frequency that each picture stays on screen.
I used to be able to set the slide show to bring up a random image from my Photos library every 5 seconds.
Thanks for your attention, Martin

that was a pretty smug response, or it sure seemed to me that way.
this "problem" has been around for a long time, an people have found ways to work around it.
Apple seems to make it harder with each iteration of the system software to find new work arounds, and no it seems that have completely closed the door.
and it feels purposeful. perhaps you or Apple can explain why this is a security issue, or some such?
the screen saver options are only for certain system screensavers.
i use my photos library, and there are no "options". and as TV-1968 said below, missing are the arrow keys to move through the slides show.
Apple has also removed the possibility of change through "slideshow preferences" in the system folder.
over time, Apple has taken away this really important feature instead of adding to it, enhancing it.
it really annoys me to no end.
I"m going to sort of hijack this thread although it is related to Big Sur and photos. I had already posted this question as a stand alone but the traffic is essentially zero on my post.
After the latest update to 11.3.1 my photos no longer show in the correct orientation. Although the entire library is properly aligned and I've used it for years, since installing 11.3.1 all the shots I needed to rotate to make "up" be "up" are showing laying on their sides. I have over 10K images so I won't ry and say all the turned images now show wrongly, but whenever I try and find the offending image it is always one I had already turned for the library.
I have my library set up as a 1 hour slide show prior to things going to sleep and I enjoy viewing the random shots. While this is not a super critical issue it surely is a major PITA. No amount of searching has directed me to a fix. Perhaps someone involved in this thread has an idea?
Josef, you are absolutely right to be annoyed.
I'm with you on this one.
