Adjust the speed (delay between images) of the autoplay feature

[MiljanArandjelovic]

Is there a way to adjust the speed (delay between images) of the autoplay feature in the Photos app?

I wish there was a setting with the ability to choose the time to show the pictures during the slideshow.

after having the same wish to change the slideshow delay i found one solution: -> changes in viewer.js: -> find string -> slideshowDelay:{type:Number,default:3e3} -> change to for 5s -> slideshowDelay:{type:Number,default:5e3} -> find string -> progressring-data-v-9cc143dc linear 3s -> change to for 5s -> progressring-data-v-9cc143dc linear 5s -> save & reload website -> to automate write a small shell script with parameter using seconds of delay

@jancborchardt we want this?

I’d say let’s look at the standard slideshow duration of other solutions like Google Photos, iOS Photos, etc, and then adjust ours if necessary. But a setting for this is unnecessary.

The timing for a nice slideshow depends on the images you want to show and the persons watching.

If I have very similar images and want something like an animation, I'd definitely pick a short time. If I have very different images with rich detail and people want to take the time to admire a long time is required.

How would you satisfy such different cases with one hardcoded setting?

Further I do not agree that https://github.com/nextcloud/viewer/issues/703 is a simple duplicate. After all it also asks for eliminating the placeholder during slideshows.

I am also interested in this. We are rolling out Nextcloud for a niche use case but are expanding. One solution we need is a simple way for our users to upload/manage photos and then display slideshows on TVs as signage. Our users can "upload" the pictures using their network shares (old school) and then simply play them by navigating to the share URL.

The ONLY thing preventing us from using Nextcloud for this is the slideshow speed. It is far too fast for our needs.

For me, too, the default delay of 3 seconds is too short. With full-size reflex photos and a slow connection, the viewer can't even finish loading one before blanking and start to try loading the next. At some point, it can't keep up, shows nothing and seems to crash. Even in normal condition, the speed is much higher than the default one for common slideshows (8 to 10 seconds, I think). Two little buttons "<<" and ">>" at the sides of the play/pause button would be very useful to speed up or slow down the slideshow, but I would be happy with a default around 8s and/or the ability to change it in the app parameters.
