Research direction

The issue identifies the Android screensaver capability and compares it with photo navigation in the Android client, but names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by locating the screensaver integration and the client's previous/next photo behavior; determine how screensaver input currently exits to the desktop. Done means previous and next navigation works within the screensaver without closing it.

Description

Feature request - add previous and next photo arrows to android screensaver function so can navigate photos in the same method available on the android app.

Currently when trying to replicate the functionality using Immichframe via the android screensaver capability, the screen saver closes and returns to desktop.

Use Case

Ideally I would like to able to skip through photos within the screensaver capability and not need to load the full application separately to scroll through displayed photos.

Details

Match the feature from the android client, that allows you to skip from one photo to the next within the android screensaver capability.
