ups.. if i've seen this earlier...
ok.. I've made another implementation. Most parts are nearly the same. On some we differ from our Idea. I've implemented a test-feature Videos-only..
https://github.com/JoeRu/ImmichFrame/tree/Video

This is naturally a branch from my PR - as it was my base to start from.

Is there a docker image

[JoeRu]

i pushed one

    image: jayar79/immichframe-video
#ghcr.io/immichframe/immichframe:latest

You need to set

Accounts:
#    ShowVideosOnly: true
    ShowVideos: true

[kdy1968]

awesome thanks! seems to be running very good

[JoeRu]

You could check the other feature included:
"ChronologicalImagesCount": 3
Then there is shown a set of pictures/Videos of 3 (for example) in historical line up.

Thanks for this - I've noticed two issues with ghcr.io/immichframe/immichframe:video_playback

1. any image following a video playback seems to only display very quickly, less than the interval time (my interval is 3 sec)
2. playback stops after a while, no error in log

[simowilso]

Yes, subsequent image after a video is only shown very briefly, possibly less than one second. The immich-frame container is hosted on the same device as immich, it's a Proxmox virtual machine running Ubuntu. It's not super powerful but also not slow. 4 cpu/12Gb ram.

[simowilso]

I lied - interval is now set to 20 secs not 3. Could it be the issue that the video clips I have are longer than the interval time, so somehow the timer is being started for the next image even though the video is still playing?

[JW-CH]

@simowilso I just pushed another version to the ghcr.io/immichframe/immichframe:video_playback, can you test the 'skipping' again? Also, I added support for audio.

[simowilso]

Just did a quick test: skipping appears to be fixed, thanks! Sound not tested yet. It still seems to stop fairly frequently without any error in the container log. Strangely if I open developer tools (chrome) then the playback so far hasn't stopped.

@simowilso I am building another version with some more fixes, pull again in like 10 minutes :P
