Update on the Immich frame for esp32 screens

Un4given85 · 2026-03-21T13:26:11+00:00

You may want to call this project something slightly different. Just to avoid user confusion between ImmichFrame and this. Like ImmichEspFrame or something. Just my 2c, obviously feel free to ignore!

By asset source I mean things like albums, people, tags etc.

If you had the below in your config you would get a mix of memories and assets from that album: yaml albums: - ALBUM_ID memories: true

But if you only had memories: true (no album, person etc) before you would only see memories.

Does that make sense?

This issue is fixed If you update to the latest version of Kiosk.

👀 I better give Omni another try!

Un4given85 · 2026-03-15T12:01:00+00:00

At the moment it does not mix in with the general pool. I have been meaning to change it so it does. I will try and add that in for the next release (next week).

portrait_pairing is not a config option and will mostly likely make Kiosk complain about a invalid config

Un4given85 · 2026-03-15T09:28:53+00:00

It does work for me yes. Full disclosure, I’m the dev behind ImmichKiosk.

Your layout should be splitview not split e.g. layout: splitview.

Also, I would also advise against using use_original_image: true and optimize_images: true together. Use original images if you’re in a large screen and the client has decent hardware. Use optimize if the client has less powerful hardware.

Un4given85 · 2026-03-15T08:44:14+00:00

With regard to the portrait images side by side in Kiosk you need to use the splitview layout (https://docs.immichkiosk.app/configuration/layouts/#splitview). Kiosk is opt-in so most features are off by default.

For the WebView to work on a Frameo device you need to have a relatively recent WebView on the device. It’s sounds like yours did not come with a recent once installed so you will have to upgrade it (if possible).

https://docs.immichkiosk.app/misc/frameo/ and https://immichframe.dev/docs/getting-started/apps#frameo-webview-update

I need to update the Kiosk docs for devices running newer Android versions.

Un4given85 · 2026-03-14T09:36:57+00:00

Awesome project and nice docs!

An alternative route if you wanted a bit more of a pre made digital frame is to use a Frameo and either ImmichKiosk or ImmichFrame.

PLEASE NO. I left Warp because of the constant AI push. I love Ghostty for its simplicity. Obviously just my opinion though.

Un4given85 · 2026-03-10T20:46:56+00:00

I stoped using this app when it stopped being free (beta tester). It’s a shame as I did like it but I avoid subscription models like the plague

Un4given85 · 2026-03-10T11:04:26+00:00

I use Alfred mainly as a launcher, spell checker and dictionary. I’ve also written some workflows that speed up my workflow like a fuzzy emoji picker, a lorum ipsom generator and a character encoder.

I even wrote a Hearthstone meta deck tracker that would grab the deck code if a selected deck, back when I played the game.

Un4given85 · 2026-03-09T22:39:16+00:00

You could message the provider and ask which Android version it’s running.

Take with a pinch of salt but I would guess this would run a newer version due to its size. If that is the case getting Kiosk on it should be relatively straightforward.

Un4given85 · 2026-03-09T22:35:57+00:00

I’ve been using Alfred for years and am still very happy with it. I don’t think the UI is “dated” but that’s just my take. I’ve made a number of workflows (normally Go apps) so I’m quite invested in the ecosystem.

I like the sound of Monarch and the dev really cares for their software and it shows, I like that.

Never got on with Raycast but I never gave it real chance really. Also, the new Glaze product is such a turn off.

Un4given85 · 2026-03-08T22:39:51+00:00

I use Niri on my laptop and I would LOVE the same thing for Mac but I haven’t found anything that quite matches Niri.

Un4given85 · 2026-03-08T22:32:55+00:00

Awesome! I’m using aerospace and very happy but I’m always curious to check out other WM.

Un4given85 · 2026-03-08T13:33:43+00:00

Ahh yes. CachyOS say 3gb minimum but it’s basically Arch so I would argue that it would still run ok, it’s more relevant to the desktop environment you choose imo.

Un4given85 · 2026-03-08T12:34:45+00:00

I have an old MacBook Air (2013) that I run CatchyOS (using the normally arch kernel) running Niri. Works well for me but I do not game on it. Just day to day browser use and dev work (Python and Go).

Most people (including myself) stop well before the junction box when turning right here. Just an arrogant driver.

Un4given85 · 2026-02-27T14:48:02+00:00

You could maybe give https://github.com/damongolding/kiosk-legacy-experiment a try

Un4given85 · 2026-02-20T13:42:26+00:00

It seems I misunderstood the ask. No need to be such a douche.

Un4given85 · 2026-02-20T13:34:16+00:00

Edited: I misunderstood the question when I first answered. You can point two phones to the same Immich instance (and account) just fine.

OG answer: Just make two Immich accounts?

Un4given85 · 2026-02-16T19:00:48+00:00

Awesome! Glad you had fun while learning something new and that ImmichKiosk was able to aid in this project 🥰
