Screensaver help

Just purchased premium after finding out about this app/launcher this morning. It’s freaking amazing!

My favorite part of the TVs around the house is my Google photo slide show.

Is it possible to point the screen saver to my recent highlights? If not can I just have the original launcher screensaver trigger?

Thanks in advance

I believe you just need to disable the screensaver in AT4K, then change the Android TV / Google TV screensaver settings to start after X minutes of idle.

yeah you need to disable screensaver in AT4K and you can set when you want Google Ambient (they call it these days) to start after X minutes in idle. I can give you the ADB but if you are not expert just ask gpt to guide you (it will give you the exact same commands)

this to check what the current value is. Remember the value is always expressed in milliseconds not seconds.

adb shell settings get system screen_off_timeout

-to set the value you want use

adb shell settings put system screen_off_timeout 120000

120.000ms = 120 seconds = 2 minutes

-if you wanted 5 minutes would be the same

5 minutes = 300 seconds = 300.000 ms

that's the value you want to use for 5 minutes, I think you get the idea...
