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.

what is this?
Image server mangled by autocorrect? Best I can come up with.
that makes more sense!
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.
Looks Like something you could do with a pretty simple python script.
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.
