Research direction

Start by reading how the existing AssetRequestedNotification webhook is defined and emitted, then trace where the slideshow determines which picture is actually shown. Identify an appropriate event point and how webhook events are delivered; done means a new webhook notification fires for the displayed picture rather than for a prefetched request.

Description

It would be really great to have a webhook event, that tells me when a new picture is shown.

Use Case

I tried to implement a speech command for my home automation, that could tell me info about the picture, that is not stored in the exif data.
Sometimes the place is missing, but it´s included in the folder structure.

After I got it all finished it turned out, that I can not use the AssetRequestedNotification that is available via webhook, because it only tells me that some client requested a picture, but that does not mean its actually been shown.

It turned out, that in my case, the picture I get the AssetRequestedNotification for, is around 5 pictures in the future.
