Yes, this is exactly the intention.

The slides.xml file has:

<starttime>
<year>2007</year>
<month>8</month>
<day>28</day>
<hour>12</hour>
<minute>21</minute>
<second>23</second>
</starttime>

which means the first slide would be shown at that time. If the sum of
durations is 24 hours, then the cycle would start over at the same
time every day.
