Help needed: Immich digital picture frame (discuss.tchncs.de)

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 :)

Digital frames are cool at the beginning, but you will soon look at it as much as at normal frames.

Btt:

If you only want to have slideshow for one album, download it and use a gallery app for this, sure new pictures are not included automatically, that is the only downside. You could use a foldersync app for this. Push new pictures from the mobile phone to your server and download them on the tablet

I’ve had a tablet acting as a digital picture frame for a long time now and I always like to stop by and see pictures of our travels and stuff. For us at least it’s still cool. When it fails I’ll get another one.

How have you been powering it? Plugged in 24/7?

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Yep plugged in 24/7. The tablet is rooted and running a custom rom and I’ve set the battery charging rules so that it maintains charge from 50-80%.

[–] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Good thinking. How do you keep the charge in that range? Software? Mechanical timer for the plug?

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

I use this app to control and keep the charge within that range:
