I am trying to create a views slideshow that cycles through the most recent images and video thumbnails attached to two content types. I want each image to be its own item in the slideshow.
Details:
- Each content type has 2 image fields that accept multiple values
- Each content type has 1 embedded video field that accepts multiple values
- I am using Drupal 7.20
- Views 7.x-3.5
- Views Slideshow 7.x-3.0
- Views Slideshow: Cycle 7.x-3.0
What I have tried:
- I have built a views slideshow that will display slides of all of the images and video thumbnails attached to each node. For example one slide will have 2 images and one video thumbnail and the next slide will have 2 video thumbnails and 3 images.
- I have tried ungrouping the multiple value fields in views but this only ungroups the specified field so now each slide will have 1 image from each field, but there will still be 2-3 images in each slide (1 for each of the different fields).
Here is a link to the site with the slideshow I have built so far:

I also attached a screenshot of my view setup.
Does anyone know a way for me to make each of the images in my fields into thier own slides with Views Slideshow (1 image per slide) and still be able to display all of the images throughout the slide show?
Thanks for the help.

Uncheck that option.
Now celebrate!

I have the same exact issue. I am trying to create a slideshow out of 2 multi-value image fields and it doesn't work. I unchecked the multiple field settings and I also installed the View Fields Combine module to combine these fields to a single output with no success whatsoever. So here are my notes on the issue.
It seems to me that Drupal uses the first field as a grouping value and returns two slideshows which slide through all different combinations of the images. So, if the image field values go like this:
for the first one, and:
for the second one, the result is two sliders which alternate through the following vaues: a1-b1, a1-b2, a2-b1, a2-b2, a3-b1, a3-b2.
To further shed light on this, I think this is caused by the LEFT JOIN option in the SQL Query produced by Drupal Views. So I tried aggregating results, which is actually successful, but then the Slideshow is not rendered. I've also tried jCarousel, which seems to be working a tad better, but still the images are not loaded properly in the slides.
Well, that's pretty much it. Any thoughts to go on?
