The Media Slideshow Modul allows users to create slideshows from media fields attached to nodes. This is done by using the jQuery Cycle Plugin in combination with Colorbox which allows for many great variations.
Currently only images and the standard cycle effect are supported, but the module does allow other types to be added easily.
How to enable a slideshow:
To turn your media field with the attached images into a slideshow you have to change the display formatter for that field to "Media Slideshow". You will find this settings inside your admin area (structure -> content types -> {content-type} -> manage display -> default. Afterwards you can change all the settings of that specific slideshow.
How it works / What it can do:
The slideshow comes with 2 parts, which are the "mini slides" and "fullscreen slides" ("zoom slides"). The mini slides are mandatory and may show fullscreen slides if enabled. For both slide types you have to supply a suiting file view mode. For the mini slides it is advised to use a mode which ensure that the slides all have the same dimensions.
For both modes you can independantly either start the slideshow automatically or not. In both cases the user has the ability to control the slides using a mouse over GUI with pauses the automatic mode.
