Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

I haven't ran into this so I'll need to know how things are configured. What style options etc.

Regarding problem 1, I have found when that it when it happens: if there are 3 pics and not 4 where the maximum number allowed of images to be uploaded is 4, then the "gap" or "break" after the last image is actually trying to show the 4th image after the 3rd! Now, as there is no image, you see nothing.
Therefore, it looks like a bug - the loop should be on the actual images exist (uploaded) and not on the number of images which are allowed to be uploaded.
I am changing the category of this to 'bug report' and the name of the issue.
P.S. Problem no. 2 does not occur currently.

Are you uploading the images all to the same node?
This module rotates through multiple nodes. Not sure how it's rotating through multiple images on the same node.

Thanks for the explanation redndahead - I indeed use it for sliding multiple images in the same view.
I was investigating it a bit and it seems that if I could remove empty entries from the array, it will fix it for me. In views-slideshow.tpl.php I tries to remove "empty" rows but they are not indeed empty. How can I investigate whether a row in this context has been filled? If I check with empty() any row it returns false.
Any idea?
Thanks!

Maybe you can use filters in your view to filter out the ones who's fields that you need are empty?

Solved! Thanks redndahead - your idea was simple and worked very well.
Thank you for your continuous help!
