anki-preview-slideshow
Make Anki preview window as slideshow. For each card, it also introduce a media window to show external media files(not stored in Anki DB) like mp4, mp3, jpg, etc. External media window can be disabled, of course.
Quick Start Guide:
- Installation: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/90397199
- Click “Browse” -> on Browser window, select target deck or filter out desired cards
- Click “Preview” to open preview slideshow window
- Click “Slideshow on/off” to check the box and start slideshow
- If mplayer is not availabe in your anki, you will need to install it if you’d like to play video in external window.
Instructions:
- Check/Uncheck “Slideshow On/Off” to start/stop slideshow
- Check/Uncheck “Random Seq” to activate/disable random sequence
- Click ”||” button to pause slideshow
- Click ”|>” button to continue slideshow or go to next slide
- Use tag like “slideshow_Xs” to indicate showing answer for X seconds (no time tag for question) for example, “slideshow_17s” for 17 seconds
- Use tag like “slideshow_audio_replays_X” to indicate replay audio X times before going to next slide (no audio replay tag for question) for example, “slideshow_audio_replays_17” for replay 17 times
- Use tag “slideshow_aisq” to indicate question slide is same with answer slide and answer slide should be skipped.
- To show external media like mp4, jpg, gif. a. Create a field in exact name “Slideshow_External_Media” b. Put the file path for the external media file there like “D:/somefolder/myvideo.mp4” c. Root forder can also be set in settings. Like setting it to “D:/somefolder” then “Slideshow_External_Media” field can work in relative path like “myvideo.mp4”, “sometype/blabla.png” d. With root folder set, if you want to use absolute path accassion occasionally, put ”$$” before the path, like “$$D:/somefolder/myvideo.mp4”
- A trick: to align buttons in preview window left, open preview window, resize it to a very small one, reopen it
- Hover over buttons to see tooltips
- Right click on the toolbox in preview window, or the external media window, to access functions.

I created a simple fork for Anki23 and uploaded it to AnkiWeb.(I still don’t understand how to use Github and how to send pull requests.) [ Preview Slideshow(Frok for 23) ] https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1621302762?cb=1705150765508

Great expansion! Thank you so much! I’m just wondering why the Anki creator didn’t add this feature into the standard Anki app.

Works great—thank you very much. Enjoying using it for hands-free, no-stakes review.
I made some easy edits for anyone who wants a more minimal UI: https://www.codepile.net/pile/2gyNG3o3

Working well with Version 2.1.15 on linux. Useful when studying but doing physical training at the same time. Easy to adjust, a few possible configs with pause/play, timer, etc. Glad it exists. Thank you!
