Is it possible to keep an image displayed even with connectivity issues?

If my device has no internet connectivity, after the refresh interval it will show "Error retrieving asset".
If I use ?use_offline_mode=true after the assets expire it will show that it is "Downloading assets" forever.

Is there something I can set in my config where for example even if my offline_mode assets expire, it will keep using them and if there's no connectivity it will keep trying to reconnect in the background? And only once it has fresh assets will the old assets be deleted.

Basically I would like to never see any of those fullscreen messages and instead just always fallback to displaying the previous image(s) even if there's no internet. If connectivity is restored then I would still prefer not to see any "Downloading assets" messages and have it download them in the background and swap out the images when ready.

When you say no internet connectivity. You would still need an active connection to the Kiosk server. In this example would that be the case?

I can implement a "must have active connection to Immich" clause for the assets to be deleted and redownloaded.

Yeah this is fine - my Kiosk server is connected to a screen directly.

Yes I think this is exactly what I would like - I imagine there would still be a brief period where the "Downloading assets" modal will display but since it needs to have an active connection to Immich at that moment I don't expect that modal to show up for any significant amount of time at all.

At the moment the downloading screen stays until either all assets are downloaded, the page is refreshed (and an asset has been downloaded) or the refresh timer is hit (and an asset has been downloaded). I may have a look at how that works while I'm adding to this mode.
