A: Nothing can be done about that. Playback is entirely controlled by the player.
B: Ask the ServiioGo developer if it can be added, but again it might be a limitation of the player.
C: Is Serviio not refreshing your media folder, or is it just not recognizing new media while a slideshow is in progress? Might be a limitation of the current player used for MediaPlayer. Zip would have to answer that. He's working on a new HTML 5 based player that might work differently with this, but I'm unsure.

Might try a different player, just to experiment. If you have a Blu Ray player, Roku, Fire TV, or some other sort of player you might see if continuous playback is supported. With a Roku, I believe it will only play to the end of the list, but the Roku Media Player has some new controls that I haven't looked closely at and repeat play might now be supported.
