Research direction

The issue asks whether an external keep-alive script (linked GitLab project) could stop Amazon Echo Silk browsers from returning to the home screen after five minutes. Nothing in the payload names a file, entry point or test, so start by deciding whether the fix belongs in the ImmichFrame web frontend or outside the repository. Done means a maintainer-agreed approach is written up, since the thread has been idle for about a year and the request is still open.

Description

enhancement
Description

First off, this is great. I don't have any digital frames, but I pointed my Amazon Echo silk browsers to the URL for it and it works pretty well.

One caveat, is Silk closes after 5 minutes and goes back to the homescreen. How hard is it to put something like this in there so silk stays active?

Use Case

For Amazon Echo devices with the silk browser. You can bookmark URLs, provided you open up YouTube or something, since its just an Internet shortcut.

Details

Keeps the silk browser alive on Echo devices so they don't go back to the home screen.
