First attempt at ticket 559

Tried working on ticket 559 but wasn't sure on what I need to do, I've cloned the repo to my hard drive and spent some time navigating through the directory structures trying to look for the slideshow player plugin but couldn't find it.  My impression from the posts at lighthouse is that this application is to be coded from scratch and from looking at the cloned repository this looks to be the case.   I'll try and get some clarification from Dave Siefried if I can catch him on IRC tomorrow as well as get some suggestions on examples that I can take a look at to get an idea on what I need to do.
