Help needed: Immich digital picture frame

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 :)

Image server mangled by autocorrect? Best I can come up with.

Have not done it so far, but some day I want to. Here’s an app that I think it would work well for the job:

If the old tablet is Android, Fotoo is perfect. Yes it costs, but one off fee and worth it. Can pull from so many different sources.

Personally, I still use Google Photos. Both my wife and I have us, the kids and pets all autotagged into an album for all the pictures taken on our phones and Fotoo randomly shows these on the Nexus 7 tablet I have taped into a wooden frame.

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.

Looks Like something you could do with a pretty simple python script.

I’d probably suggest raising an issue on the Immich github as a feature request. You said that there’s already a slideshow feature present, just without a customizable interval, should be easy (even if low priority probably) for the Immich guys to add.
