I get they're always improving, but are they ever going to pick a structure they like? I gave up using it for now because of constant breaking changes.

Their roadmap said to have a stable release in 2024

Yes, they are gravitating towards it as you can read in the release notes

Immich is the only thing I run where I check the change log before doing any sort of update. It's worth it, though. Great software.

This update broke my janky little raspberry pi "photo frame" which uses MagicMirror and a plugin. I probably just need to rename a port in the plugin or something (or wait for an update).

Would love to hear more about your setup. This is something I wanted to explore at some point.

I installed MagicMirror onto a Raspberry Pi using a pre-made Magic Mirror OS image (can't remember where I got that, but I think it's relatively "official", so maybe their website? It comes ready to go with Docker and everything you need set up.

Then I installed this https://github.com/pelaxa/MMM-ImmichSlideShow and configured it.

~~I actually found some additional configuration options by going back in the chain to the project it's based on (linked at the top of the readme). Their documentation included some additional stuff that actually works with MMM-ImmichSlideShow.~~ Edit: Looking at my config again, and all the stuff is in the MM-ImmichSlideShow documentation now. Maybe they updated it.

Then I hooked up an old monitor, put it in vertical mode, and that's it.

It was actually kind of difficult to figure out how to get the display to work in vertical mode. A lot of old forum posts are the "old" way of doing it. I ended up making a cronjob that runs 60 seconds after boot and runs some command that rotates the display. ~~I'll dig it up if you need me to, but since MMM-ImmichSlideShow is still broken it's not turned on right now so I can't check it.~~ Here's the line from my crontab to rotate the display: @reboot sleep 60 && DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right
