Browsing Photos on Samsung TV with TizenOS (feddit.org)

Hi everyone,

I would love to showcase some of my photos on our Samsung The Frame TV since it is literally made for displaying Pictures. Sadly however it is not running Android TV, but instead this weird Tizen Operating System.

I already have Jellyfin running, which has a Tizen APp that can be sideloaded and which works amazing for TV shows and movies, but the image gallery works a little janky for me (relative slow loading, no slideshow options).

Since I wanted to get Immich running for a while now anyway to further degoogle myself, I thought this would be a good opportunity. However it seems like there is no plan to implement a frontend app for Immich for Tizen (understandably...) (https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/8896).

My question is if any of you know of an App that I can install on my Samsung TV to browse and display pictures that are stored on my local server?

If your TV OS is old enough there is an API you can use. https://github.com/ow/samsung-frame-art

Strange notion of old

Old enough, as in "my infant is old enough to eat solid foods."

My suggestion: Raspberry Pi (or any other computer) connected via an HDMI port. Use any photo program of your choosing. Many, many available for linux.

Fucking around with TV OSes is a PITA and is best to just be avoided.

A quick web search suggests the native Art Mode function is probably the best.

My solution was HDMI in as others suggested. Currently a picture slideshow screensaver for Kodi, previously a rooted firestick.

i love my kodi setup for photo screensaver! Only recently surpassed by a custom made home assistant dashboard!!

Maybe add an Android device to one of the HDMI ports?
