photOS No images found

I have reinstalled photOS and would like to write the images manually to the SD card. However, I always get the message "No images found" Where do the images have to be stored so that photOS can find them?

Is the webdav endpoint configured in the WebUI? First sync from e.g. Nextcloud may take some time.

Thank you very much for your message. I would like to use photOS without WebDAV. Upload the images via (s)FTP, for example. If you don't have a webdav server, the effort might be too high just to set one up.

To do this, I would like to move the images to the local_images folder and initiate the synchronisation process manually. But I don't know how to do that. In principle, you can also write to the text file manually, but that would be more work.

I love the photOS project very much and would be delighted if it could be actively maintained again. I would also be very happy to support it as much as I can.

You should store your images under /data/photoframe/images_local. Afterwards, you have to create the file list similar to https://github.com/avanc/photOS/blob/master/package/photoframe/photoframe.sh#L102

find /data/photoframe/images_local -type f -iname '*\.jpg' -o -iname '*\.jpeg' -o -iname '*\.png' -o -iname '*\.mp4' -o -iname '*\.mov' | sort > /data/photoframe/conf/filelist.txt

@BigChris Feel free to reopen the issue if it didn't worked for you.
