We have a Samsung Frame TV. I told Codex to scan our network to find it and then build a custom tool for updating the image gallery that it uses when it's in "art" mode. It did that, and now I can tell a Codex session controlled from my phone to "use this image" and it shows up on the TV a few moments later.
I desperately want this, but our Frame has never been connected to the Wifi, and I'm really reluctant to do so, as it will probably start snitching and/or delivering ads...
Adguard and Smart TV blocklist might help. It's crazy how much my Sony wants to sneak out behind my back if I'd let it.
The tv-ws-api can be used over ethernet. I control my Frame TV from a pi through direct ethernet cable and the pi separately connects to my home LAN over WiFi and serves an app for Frame art control. The TV has never had direct access to the LAN or internet. Check the frame subreddit for several such projects.
excellent! this is just what i'd find allowable. direct frame-to-internet seems like a nightmare unless you'd create your own firmware like another commenter says. thanks!
New, ad free, firmware is obv a couple of prompts away...just sayin... ;)
Nice! I actually built something similar back in early 2023 [1], which used a collection of SDXL models to generate a new random painting every hour upscaled to 4K and then broadcasted to my frame using the Samsung WS API wrapper [2].

Neat. What’s the lift from here to get a zero-token spend image upload?
