Description
Why was preset_duration ever limited to a maximum?
I am trying to make KODI playing a song with one selected visualization that I created and every 50 seconds its showing a white screen for a few seconds and then starts over again. Please make a preset last for as long as a user wants.

Research direction
Start with the linked settings.xml entry at line 87 and trace where preset_duration is read or enforced. Check how the visualization handles the selected preset and run the relevant Kodi visualization manually. Done means users can keep one selected preset active for an arbitrarily long duration without the white-screen reset, either through an unlimited duration or a lock setting.
