Background blur

[bm55]

Is background blur working for you? I have it configured in the config.yml file and it was working but now it's not working.
I am running 0.12.0

# UI
disable_ui: false # this is just a shortcut for all ui elements (show_time, show_date, show_image_time, show_image_date)
hide_cursor: false # Hide cursor/mouse via CSS.
font_size: 100 # the base font size as a percentage. OMIT the % character, default 100
background_blur: true # display a blurred version of image as background
theme: fade # which theme to use. fade or solid
layout: single # which layout to use. single or splitview

What do you see on the front end?

Any errors in the Kiosk log?

[bm55]

the front is showing the images with black background instead of the blur.
The docker logs shows following. I don't have the album id from the logs configured

`Version 0.12.0

There is only 1 album configured on my config file and no id is passes via URL
album: # ID(s) of album or albums to display

• "d1c5091d-f004-4a6d-bff4-e20af812ac76"

ok, looks like those albums in the docker logs are video albums without any photos and I do have one device using URL parameter "album=all"

Yeah that will be what those errors are.

You could add verbose debugging to your config which will show lots of debugging data.

kiosk:
  debug_verbose: true

What you are looking for is something like this 👇

The Blurred image in=0.168457458 is saying the image was blurred in 0.168457458 seconds, so I at least know it's creating the blurred background.

[bm55]

The debug only shows "converted image"

Ahh you have smart-zoom enabled. It enables cover mode and disables the blurred background (as you shouldn't be able to see the background). https://github.com/damongolding/immich-kiosk?tab=readme-ov-file#smart-zoom
