[Feature] Memory as special album

I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

How about a "special album" or mode to display the memory pictures as slide show?

---

I did write a small python script just the other day to fetch all the image urls to then show them randomly on a low powered device. I could totally get rid of it again and just rely on immich kiosk instead ding the "heavy" loading.
Then my esp32 just queries an image url like https://my-url/image?action=memory or whatever every 30 seconds and directly gets an jpeg.

Are you referring to the memory-land api endpoint?

Happy to implement this, just need to decide if it would work as a special album or its own key e.g. album=memories or memories=true

[AlmightyFrog]

Thanks for quick answer. Yes i mean following API: https://immich.app/docs/api/get-memory-lane/
I guess best would be memories=true, as someone might create a album called "memories" maybe and that would then be unavaiable.

Would memories=true then also use e.g. the person filter? Could be interesting addition if it is optional.

The album filter doesn't take in album names, only IDs and special keys words so that wouldn't be an issue but I do think memories=true is clearer then album=memories.

I'm not sure of the memory lane api offers a person filter 🤔

[AlmightyFrog]

You are right, there is as far as i know no inbuilt filter.
I did use in my script a query using https://immich.app/docs/api/get-asset-info for each picture checking and filtering manually the images.
But that of cause increases the load.

I guess not having a filter for that is totally fine, plain memories=true should be clean and sufficient.
