Slideshow with older Browsers

The feature

Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to display this fantastic slideshow on older browsers.
I would be delighted if the compatible browsers were extended to older versions.
I would be happy to do without optical functions if they would no longer work due to compatibility.
I think older devices in particular can still be given a reason for existence with the function of a digital picture frame.
In my case, I would like to breathe new life into an iPad 4 with iOS 10.

Hey.

It's always a tough decision where to draw the line in terms of compatibility. Like yourself, I recently tried to get Kiosk running on my TV but the maker has locked it to a quite old firmware.

It would require a full rebuild to make Kiosk work on older browsers well, which I am unwilling to do.

Having said that, I am willing to create a small legacy build pipeline. By that I mean I can use some automation tools to try and transpile Kiosk's JavaScript down to a more compatible version.

I don't have an iPad so I am unable to test the outcome. So if you're willing I can ping you when it's ready for a test drive?

Hi,
that would of course be great if you could try this with little effort. And yes, I would love to test it

@fabian1512 ok, so you can try this docker image damongolding/immich-kiosk-development:0.12.2 with the url param legacy=true e.g. http://KIOSK_URL:PORT?legacy=true

I switched to another tablet, that can handle kiosk. So many thanks for your efforts so far.
Maybe you can keep my suggestion for revitalising old tablets in mind and find a solution sometime later

I'd love to get Kioks working on old devices. Buts it's quite hard for me to debug old browsers as I don't have access to any.

@fabian1512, a route I took is to provision a Linux desktop and RDP from the old device.
I used linuxserver/docker-webtop then launched a more modern browser, full screen it, and it fly.

@damongolding, let me know if you're still looking for testers.

@hctrr, thank you very much for your suggestion - sounds like a possible solution. I'll give it a try
