Digital Memories
Digital Memories (01memories) is a digital photo frame application written in Python. It is capable of displaying photos and playing videos from local storage as well as WebDAV and rclone repositories.
Digital Memories has been designed to run slideshows from image and video repositories with several thousand files. No conversion is required. Files remain in your repositories and fully under your control.
Files in slideshows can be dynamically arranged and filtered based on their metadata (EXIF and IPTC metadata supported). Slideshows can be run continuously or scheduled.
Digital Memories supports reverse geocoding based on GPS data in the EXIF tag, using the geopy library and Photon geocoder (essentially OpenStreetMap).
Digital Memories optionally integrates with Home Assistant via MQTT. Integration allows the display to be motion activated after coupling of the Digital Memories device in Home Assistant with a motion sensor.
Digital Memories is being developed by Bernd Kalbfuss (aka langweiler) and is published under the General Public License version 3. The latest source code is available on GitHub.
