15,000 photo slide show?

I wish to make a slideshow of my 15,000+ photos to play continuously in our home. Any ideas? Thanks much!

Get a digital frame and just let it run with as many image files as you can fit on the SD card

That's only a little over 4 hours at 1 second per slide. What are you going to do with the rest of the time LOL.

Duh! Such a simple solution that I've spent years searching for!
Thanks so much for your fantastic solution!

First you need to decide how you want the images displayed. With a digital frame, there is the issue of not being able to get enough memory into it for all the images which should be considered. This will be determined by two factors - the maximum storage capacity that can be inserted into the digital frame, and the total amount of storage space your 15,000+ take up. Resizing all of your images to take up less space may be a solution, but you will need to do the math to see if it is feasible.

Probably not 15,000, but have used mine with a 125GB SDHC, there is always 256, and the other day didn't I see someone had come out with a 1TB SDHC? Certainly could hold a lot.

Just like extra resolution is a waste for online posting, it's even more wasteful for a digital frame / background slideshow. My most recent digital frame arrived with no documentation. But, online I found the screen resolution in pixels and sized the long-side of all my images to that size. At 85% JPEG quality and selecting only landscape-oriented images, the file count for the resulting JPEGs is virtually unlimited onto a 32GB SD card. I have a custom LR Export based on a collection I just add new images into as I complete trips / edits. I somethings rerun the entire export (after I have added and / or added (removed) historical images). Or, I just sort by date-added into the collection and export just the newest images. My export also renames the files to 8-char file names (based on a counter). Reading some comments online, it seems the simple 8x3 file names cause the least problems for the frames. The images display based on the capture date of the images, so it doesn't really matter what the file names are updated to.

One second???
(Mine is set for 15-30 seconds per image.)

If you want to resize 15K photos to a particular size for your digital frame, you can do that in IrfanView (batch mode) if you're on a Windows machine. 15K photos will take a while but you can specify the size to fit your frame and probably save a lot of space on the storage media.
I use the good images from my photopile for my screen saver rather than dumping everything in there.

I'd second that bit of advice.

At 1 second nobody would notice all my mistakes.

Get a Chromecast dongle and put your images on a large memory stick or other storage device. Chromecast allows you to make a slideshow from your own images. Also, many newer TV's have USB input and software to put together a rudimentary slide show from content on a USB device.

I dunno about the 15,000 thing, but it does a couple hundred for me.
