  Thanks, so by all that feedback it seems it was not just a wild idea :)
  
  > I think "Pause" certainly makes sense in a slideshow. Stop should reset to the beginning of the slideshow (as required by the mpris specification). Pausing should allow you to continue playing the slideshow where you left off. "Stop" certainly is a useful feature but play/pause should be far more common. If you think about the analogy to video/music, that seems the logical behaviour to me.
  
  This proposal maps a slide to a "track" in MPRIS terms, and the complete slideshow to a tracklist. Given the properties of a track match that of a slide, and the same for a tracklist matching that of a slide set.
  And MPRIS for the Stop method defines this <https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/Player_Interface.html#Method:Stop>: "Calling Play after this should cause playback to start again from the beginning of the track. "
  
  So with that in mind, would you reconsider what you think is logical? :)
