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?

How have you been powering it? Plugged in 24/7?
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%.
Good thinking. How do you keep the charge in that range? Software? Mechanical timer for the plug?
I use this app to control and keep the charge within that range:
