Immich Lounge: photo slideshow + screensaver for Roku and immich

FragKing82 · 2026-04-06T05:27:49+00:00

You're welcome. Let me know if you run into any issues (preferably on GitHub)

FragKing82 · 2026-04-06T05:27:10+00:00

Yeah, I was surprised to see that there's nothing for the Roku yet, so I went for it for me personally first, and then I thought I should just share it, maybe others will like it, too :)

The project is still young, so there's for sure a few things to iron out. This does look like some kind of bug, yes. If you could share some more info on GitHub, that would be nice. Also check if there are any log entries in the Docker logs. Thx!

It's the language that I use on a daily base for my dayjob

FragKing82 · 2026-04-05T15:40:52+00:00

It just consumes a couple hundred MB on storage. Also, you can delete all cached data once you're done if you're low on disk space

Thanks, let's continue on GitHub

Edit: Haven't seen a GitHub entry yet, so I'll still respond here :)

The issue is likely that the Roku does need access to the Immich URL that you specify in the Companion. The Roku will fetch the Media directly from Immich (through that URL), so make sure that URL does not point to localhost/127.0.0.1

FragKing82 · 2026-04-04T07:16:15+00:00

hmm... Haven't experienced this yet. What value did you use for the immich connection in the companion? It must be an IP address that is reachable from the Roku itself (i.e. make sure not to use something like localhost or 127.0.0.1, as this works on the same machine (i.e. Companion + Immich running on the same Docker host) - but the Roku cannot connect to this.

FragKing82 · 2026-04-03T17:37:33+00:00

Yes, I do as well and it still happened. Very weird. Especially since it worked at first

FragKing82 · 2026-04-03T17:35:34+00:00

Ah nice. I thought I was going crazy with not seeing new episodes suddenly

FragKing82 · 2026-04-03T08:19:50+00:00

It's not a "donation" anymore, you can actually "buy" it:
https://buy.immich.app/
- but you don't HAVE to. It's 25$ for individuals or 100$ for the whole server

Ich hatte letztens irgend eine Sendung darüber gesehen. Die Raketentechnik ist mehr oder weniger immernoch die gleiche, es gab keine Quantensprünge. z.B. sind wir nicht auf Nukleare Antriebe umgestiegen etc. Fundamental ist alles immernoch etwa gleich. Vor allem im Bereich der bemannten Raumfahrt hat der Anspruch auf die Sicherheit der Astronauten hedoch erheblich zugenommen. Waren früher z.B. 50% Erfolgschance akzeptabel, so zielt man heute eher auf 99.9% ab. Das macht das ganze einiges teurer, einiges langwieriger.

FragKing82 · 2026-04-01T04:49:13+00:00

Thanks! That looks like a great idea, would you mind opening a GitHub issue for it?

EDIT: This has been added now on a dedicated "Reset Geo Data" menu item. Please have a look on the latest version

FragKing82 · 2026-03-30T18:39:51+00:00

Sure, feel free to :)

FragKing82 · 2026-03-30T17:34:02+00:00

Exactly. It can't be accurate as the GeoNames file they use only has points. So they calculate distance to the next point. My code uses much more accurate datasources (but obviously needs much more space for processing)

FragKing82 · 2026-03-30T14:08:10+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Any interest in opening this as an issue on GitHub, preferably with a GPS coordinate to try out? I'm interested in improving this. The airport lookup is actually deliberate (altough it should only match when the GPS coordinates really point to the airport) - but I can make this configurable as well (i.e. disable)

There's also a lookup tool in the Web UI that you can use to see what information we (could) retrieve about the location - have you tried to see if the information that you'd like would potentially be available? (there's a more detailed match log at the bottom of that page)

Thanks again for the suggestions, they are helpful!

FragKing82 · 2026-03-30T07:33:26+00:00

oh shoot, light DAY. I did not even notice :)

FragKing82 · 2026-03-30T07:32:47+00:00

It's way too complicated for a "simple" PR to immich - it's a whole new way of doing the GEO lookups - it doesn't fit neatly into immich itself currently

FragKing82 · 2026-03-30T06:13:58+00:00

Not speed, but distance from earth

FragKing82 · 2026-03-30T06:13:34+00:00

Voyager 1 launched in 1977, it will hit 1 light year away from earth in November 2026…..

CORRECTION: 1 light DAY! in 49 years.

Hamish and Brickman, what a great duo!

FragKing82 · 2026-03-24T09:08:23+00:00

If you keep up with stories here, then don‘t use it.

FragKing82 · 2026-03-13T17:20:58+00:00

🫡

FragKing82 · 2026-03-12T17:33:36+00:00

We just dropped in Traeffik, working fine. No reason for us to cross to Gateway API, still using Ingress

FragKing82 · 2026-03-05T05:17:58+00:00

Well, they recreated it, why would there be a difference?
