As to the slideshows:
You can play videos or image slideshows in Rockit's video jukebox window. If you want to play slideshows, you just browse to the folder, and load them into the Coming Up next list, then let her rip. The default is 5 seconds between images, although you can change that in the Config->Video settings to whatever you like. You can also right-click on the Coming Up next list, and save that as a playlist. You can add images as the slideshow is running as well.
If you are connected to an external monitor/projector, you will have the option to display full screen to that (as well as what you see in the preview monitor on your screen), and if not, you will have the option to display to a separate window on your main screen, which you can drag anywhere you like, and resize.
As to the library scanning:
Yes, you can while you're playing, although I don't recommend it, unless you have a fast computer and hard drive. It's CPU and HDD intensive, so you don't want to skip the song playing.
Here's how I do it:
If you download some tunes from a site, or external device in the middle of a gig, save them to a folder. Call it something like NewTunesForThisGig, or just a date for that folder. Then just browse to that folder in Rockit's nav tree, and double-click on the song (loads to next available deck), or drag and drop it. Then after the gig, add them to the library, or do a Watched Folder scan. The watched folder, will scan any other folders underneath it as well.
The Watch Folders are the easiest way to update Rockit's library, but you don't really need to use it during a gig.
I know most of this stuff is not documented well (if at all), but very few read my manuals, so I don't bother -- I just answer the questions when needed...
