@sdetweil can you help me out what a cron tool is? Haven’t heard about it yet.
Cron is a scheduling tool that’s available in various linux, BSD, Mac, Unix, etc. operating systems. It allows you to schedule “jobs” (scripts, typically) to run on certain days, at certain times, with certain privileges to get things done.
On my mirror, I have a script that I’ve written to rsync images from a server on my network over to the Pi. Cron allows me to schedule the execution of that script at times that I want it to run (every 30 minutes, in this case) and copy over changes from the server. You could do something similar with a tool that could connect to a Google photo album, Google Drive, or wherever and copy the most current image to a local directory. After that, whatever module you’re using to display that image would be able to update what’s on the screen either by itself, or you could integrate a “notification” within your script to tell the module to reload the image once the copy is done.

cron is a builtin service that will; run jobs at scheduled times , once every n minutes, days, weekday, etc…

so u write q script that does what you want, and then schedule it to run so often and update the ‘crontab’ (the table of cron jobs)
note that YOU have to tell it what user top run the job under

add this to your custom.css
@keyframes trans {
from {opacity: 1}
to {opacity: 1}
}It will still update, but you won’t see the fades.
