I tried some of the slide add-ons for Concrete5, this one is perfect for my use.
You have many options, but the one that was most important for me, was the
possibility to deactivate all controls and paging in the slideshow, make it auto-start
and automatically stop it after last slide. This add-on handles all this perfectly
and the control panel to administrate these settings are simple to use.
Extra plus for the support when small bug was discovered. Fast reply, fast fixing
This add-on work PERFECTLY on Concrete5 v8.4.2

If you need the slide to auto-start, you will get a white rectangle in the area for the slide plus spinning loading icon.
If you want to change this:
/packages/c5russia_bxslider_pro/blocks/c5russia_bxslider_pro/css/jquery.bxslider.css
#Line 61
background: #fff url(../images/bx_loader.gif) center center no-repeat;
Change #fff to your theme color, for example #000000 (black) or #ffffff00 (transparent)

If you don’ want the loading spinning icon, you can delete it and #Line 61 will look like this:
background: #fff;

This add-on is well worth the money
