Description
I have a small feature request that would make the addon much more flexible for music playback. Would you consider adding:
an option to use Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.Image) as image source, with fallback to the normal PictureIt path
automatic clearing/fallback when the Artist Slideshow image property is empty
an option to preserve the original image aspect ratio instead of always stretching to the full screen
These are relatively small usability improvements, and I think they would fit the addon very well. Thanks for considering it.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the PictureIt image-source and rendering settings, then trace how an empty ArtistSlideshow.Image value is handled. Done means the Artist Slideshow source falls back correctly, empty values clear or restore the normal source, and an option preserves the original aspect ratio.
