Slideshow: After upgrading to 6.5.1, the "Start Show" dashboard displays a blank panel. How do I resolve?

I have upgraded to 6.5.1 and am having similar issues. When I get to Setup a show, all of my dashboards show up, but after I choose the dashboards to cycle through and click on Start Show, I just get a blank screen.

I have cleared my cache in both IE and Chrome, used the /en-US/_bump and restarted Splunk, but still am getting the same results.

Errors from the browser are

IPT5009: 'is_absolute_url' is undefined
File: SlideshowSetupView.js, Line: 6, Column: 11638

Thanks for the report. I'm going to try to get a local repro soon and cut a new build accordingly.

This is a bug. It will be fixed in version 2.5.1. See the bug report here: https://lukemurphey.net/issues/1710
