    What is the maximum resolution supported for the slideshow of the lock screen?


    Because I have the problem that my pictures - which are all available with a max. resolution of 7200x4050 px 16:9 aPNG / 24-36 MB in the original - are not displayed in the slide show of the lock screen. But only when I reduce them by a factor of 50 are they displayed in the lock screen slideshow.My first suspicion was the file size. But I was able to rule that out. Since I had an image with a low resolution 7104x2688 px / 21:9 / aPNG but a large data volume 56 MB - which is displayed to me.Therefore my question to the support again. What are the restrictions resolution, format, file si
