This is just a fix to version v1.1 with some small fixes to stop all the images being exposed on the first load.

I simply added to the css:
display:none;

And added to the slideshow.php:
$("#slider ul").show();
$("#slider li").show();
$("#slider2 ul").show();
$("#slider2 li").show();

Hope it helps resolve some display issues.

You can also modify the sql query to display a random slideshow easily by changing the sql query in slideshow.php from:

$slides_query = tep_db_query("select slideshow_name, slideshow_url, slideshow_description, slideshow_image FROM " . TABLE_SLIDESHOW . " order by slideshow_id");

Replace:

//$slides_query = tep_db_query("select slideshow_name, slideshow_url, slideshow_description, slideshow_image FROM " . TABLE_SLIDESHOW . " order by slideshow_id");
$slides_query = tep_db_query("select slideshow_name, slideshow_url, slideshow_description, slideshow_image FROM " . TABLE_SLIDESHOW . " where slideshow_id order by rand()");
