Hey everyone,
I’m currently using immich for my omagensercer and I love it very much. Now I wanted to revive an old tablet as a digital picture frame and I’m not sure how to best do this.
I want to frame to run a certain album on Immich in a (random) loop. My first idea was to use Immich’s slideshow Features, yet those switch Images way too fast and I have found no way to customize the interval.
Another way would be to run the slideshow locally but I didn’t find a way to Auto-Download images to a device when someone adds an imagemto an album.
So: how would you do this? Has anyone already done it?
Looking forward to your input :)
So I’ve been working on a setup myself. I actually haven’t considered immich but I should. I was just going to do a simple js based webpage local server that auto boots chromium into kiosk mode and randomly switches pictures. I actually had it set up so it weights new photos more heavily so it shows new additions more frequently.
The way I got new photos in was a nextcloud webdav mount. That way my wife and I can just add photos to a folder from our phones and they show up on the frame. I saw a guide online on how to do that with Google Drive too.
So all that to say, that might be an option for you to get photos to a folder. Then maybe point immich to that folder as a source.
