Anyone got Google Photos working in Ambient Mode on their Android TV?

So frustrating that a £1000+ Android TV performs worse and has less features than a £30 Chromecast.

Not working for me, but not only is Netflix via Assistant not working either, but on one of my Home Minis, I lost the ability to even turn the TV off or on anymore.

I'm using a Nexus Player FWIW.

There's another thread here somewhere on this. It doesn't work. It seems if you set up Facebook experimental, that works though.

I was hoping this would get fixed, since I primarily use Google Photos...

Can confirm is not working for me on the Nexus player

Thank God it isn't just me. Can confirm it isn't working on my Mi Box.

It's a native android TV app. You do need the paid Add on for Google photos access, but it works.

Didn't work for me a couple of weeks ago but at that time I also couldn't tell Home to open Netflix. Haven't tried it since that started working
