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 disagree. We've had several frames for years and love looking at them, seeing new photos get added by family, and be reminded of our fondest memories.

Personally, I find that larger, wall mounted frames are much more enjoyable to look at compared to small, tabletop ones.
