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 :)

    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).
