 * I might be blind, but I can’t find a “random” setting for slideshows. It always
   shows pictures in the same order. Or is this a setting I need to change via the
   Google Photos API I use?

 * Photos can be sorted in random order only if they are allowed by the API of the
   source platform. Google Photos’ API has no such provision, so the photos you 
   get will always be in the same order practically all the time. Very few platforms(
   if any) allow you to sort in random order.
