After the latest update to the Core the custom:gallery-card has stopped working and I cannot figure out what to do about it.
It gives me the opportunity to look through the captured snapshots from my Doorbell, so I really need it to work.
The card errors and shows
Custom element doesn’t exist: gallery-card.
… but it is installed and there
I have tried re-installing it, I have tried re-loading it.
Any ideas?
Did you see this on GitHub? The card is no longer supported and the designer recommends t the Frigate card
I have intended to update this card for a while, but being honest with myself, and you users, it’s really unlikely to happen. My interest in the card has waned, as I have migrated to Frigate use the Frigate card now in place of Gallery Card
Yes I did, but it did work until a restart after an update
The other thing is I could not get the Frigate card to show the media/image clips
There does not appear to be any indication in the datasheet about how you incorporate the path to the images and what worked in gallery-card does not work in the frigate card.
I don’t use Frigate, but will load it up to verify your issues…
Aha! the Gallery-Card has just started working, well that was a mystery
what you did to get it working again. Have now same issue after my update to HA latest release … 2025.3.3
get “Custom element doesn’t exist: gallery-card.”
Is there any alternative available? I liked this card, for browsing of pictures from out of folder …
My gallery card stopped working a few days ago, then started working again within hours (without any changes to the system), it was apparently (as mentioned on a facebook group) due to a problem at the unpkg.com site where certain js files are downloaded each time gallery card is used.
Gallery card is failing for me again today with the same error. Frustrating that gallery card is reliant on a live website to work!
@LiQuid_cOOled Have you had a chance to investigate frigate card (now called Advanced Camera Card)? I too have tried to use it as a replacement for gallery card, but also (like Lordlinhey) can’t find a way of defining a path for my video clips or indeed what the default path is. I dont use Frigate but it has been suggested that this isn’t a requirement, hence the dropping of the Frigate prefix in the card name
Hi All, I may have just figured out how to fix this. I noticed on the main Gallery Card GitHub page, the comment at the top mentions to try lukelalo’s fork GitHub - lukelalo/gallery-card: A custom card for Home Assistant that will display images and/or videos from a folder in the style of a gallery.. Not sure why I never tried it before so I decided to add that custom repository to HACS then searched for it as “Gallery Card 2024” and downloaded. Note, for some reason just searching Gallery or Gallery Card didn’t give me the Gallery Card 2024 option so search for the whole thing. After downloading, my Gallery Cards starting working again. No changes required in the dashboard or anything.
Maybe I just got lucky or maybe it will stop working tomorrow. Not sure. Maybe it will work for others.
Solved my issue. Using this new repository is working for me. Thanks for the hint!
Brilliant!
I just installed the gallery-card 2024 as suggested by @sterlo and up up and running again!
Many thanks!
Jim
Solved Thank you.
As an alternative I had limited success in using Media in the Lovelace sidebar.
First I had to specify in the config file the location of my snapshots.
homeassistant
… media_dirs:
… … .local: /config/media
( sorry about the dots to get the formatting right.)
I could then see my images as files in Media but with no thumb nails. More research needed to get thumb nails like frigate serves up in the Media Browser.
Unfortunately, after 2 hours its stopped working again! I presume its the same problem with the online calls to unpkg.com js script repository failing?
Hmm, strange, mine is still working almost 12 hours later but maybe I’m on borrowed time. Any chance you are now trying it on a different device that needs the browser refreshed? (I realize that’s unlikely but worth a shot)
Unfortunately not, Ive also just tried it on a laptop which has never accessed my ha, and its the same on that too…
Its so frustrating because when its working gallery-card is great for my needs, i use it for my doorcam which records using the lookback feature (set to 5 seconds before motion detection). There is an option in Gallery-card to show thumbnails of each video clip, and you can set the thumbnail to x seconds into the video. I use setting of 6, so the thumbnails show the object that was motion detected. It works really well!
same problem here. Gallery card, which was perfect for me, it’s not working anymore. I’m trying to import in HACS the “lukelalo” forked version but I can’t find it in HACS with the search function, and clicking importing personalized archive, it’s not working, it’s saying that is not “compliant” 
In HACS i simply clicked on the 3 dots next to the search bar, selected Custom repositories, then pasted the url of the newer gallery card (h t t p s://github.com/lukelalo/gallery-card)(without the spaces in https), and set the type to dashboard and click on add. After that you should be able to search in hacs for custom gallery 2024 and install it.
Hth Jim
I’ve found a more recently updated version of gallery-card that was modified only a couple of days ago, and it works (for now anyway!) I removed my existing gallery-card from hacs and installed this custom version as described in my previous post, but using the url
h t t p s://github.com/zzmzz/gallery-card
(Remove the spaces from https)
Thank you for your suggestion, well spotted.
That seems to have solved the issue, it is now working perfectly
The frigate card is useful but it is not a substitute for the gallery-card
This works for me, now hoping it will last…
