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 :)

    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.

      Yep.

      I’m surprised how much I look at ours. It’s changed how we take photos.

      Now we’re more intentional to try to document trips and events more explicitly and clearly. The photo serves as a memory-reminder.

      If you’re younger, no one probably told you that you will forget stuff. Not in a bad way, just that seeing a pic from an event will remind you of other memories that you hadn’t thought about in forever. It’s like the memories are stale and a random pic refreshes them.

      Mine turns on at 7am and off at 10 pm, rotates through photos randomly. I can send pics to it through wifi of Bluetooth (real convenient for phones).
