I've recently discovered this project, and bought a "moonka" 11-inch photo frame and successfully installed the ImmichFrame Android APK on it (incidentally, I found the documentation update PR for Immich-Kiosk here extremely helpful). I've bought some more of these same photo frames and plan to set them up and send them to my and my wife's parents to show our wedding photos and other photos.
However, the problem is that we all live in different places. My parents and my wife's parents even live on opposite sides of the planet. But the way the config file for ImmichFrame is set up, only one location can be specified, though multiple photo frames per location can be set up, each with different albums, and even different Immich server URLs. This seems like an odd limitation. I only have one Immich server, but I want to show photos from it in different locations, not the other way around.
Would it be possible or desirable to change the config file format, and underlying architecture, to support different locations for different photo frames? Right now, I've worked around it by simply making multiple instances of ImmichFrame on my server with docker-compose, each having a different config file, but this seems messy and wasteful of resources. It'd be nicer and cleaner to just have a single ImmichFrame instance with a more complex Settings.yml file to configure multiple photo frames, each with a different location, and pointing to different photo albums.
