Samsung Frame Art Mode Enhanced with Rijksmuseum API

Based on the repository by Ow: Samsung Frame Art Mode++

Uses the current keyless Rijksmuseum Data Services (Search API + Linked Art + IIIF) — no API key required.

Using the web picker (recommended)

  • cd rijksmuseum && npm install && npm run serve, then open http://localhost:3000.
  • Enter a query, preview the thumbnail grid, tick the works you want, and click Download selected to save them (resized to 3840 x 2160) into images/.
  • Run python3 art.py to push a random image to the TV. Run it again anytime you want the image to change.

Or use the CLI

  • Edit the default query at the top of rijksmuseum/index.js, then run cd rijksmuseum && npm install && node index.js to bulk-download every match into images/.

Pushing to the TV (art.py)

  • Install the (maintained) Python library: python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt. This pulls samsungtvws >= 3.0, which is what adds support for newer Frames.

    Note: art.py still has sys.path.append('../') near the top. If you have an old vendored copy of samsungtvws at ../samsungtvws, it will shadow the installed one — remove it so the modern library is used.

  • Set your TV's IP in art.py (tv_ip), then run python3 art.py.
  • First run on 2022+ Frames: the TV shows a one-time Allow / Deny prompt — accept it. The pairing token is saved to tv-token.txt (gitignored) so later runs connect silently.

TV compatibility

  • 2020 / 2021 Frame TVs — known working (the original, tested route).
  • ⚠️ 2022 / 2023 / 2024 Frame TVs — Samsung changed the art-mode API. art.py now tries the authenticated secure connection (port 8002 + token) these models require, and falls back to the legacy port-8001 path for older sets. Newer-model support is community-reported and inconsistent and has not been verified here — if you try it on a 2022+ Frame, please report whether it works.
