Ambient Mode doesnt work on my Android TV, but does on chromecast.

by AvatarNikhil

Changing ambient mode to showcase a slideshow from Google photos doesn't reflect on my Sony Android TV.

While on my Chromecast (another display) it works perfectly.

What's wrong?

Yeah I just had this realization as well.

Chromecast does not equal Chromecast Built-In. They are different platforms apparently.

This issue has been ongoing for months and reported on Google forums and even Google saying there isn't a fix yet

An alternative is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.furnaghan.android.photoscreensaver It has more settings, but lacks the smart album and simplicity in configuration. Besides that it works great!

I am experiencing the same thing on my Mi Box. :-(

Too bad because this is my main TV. The art and travel shows are nice but. Would love to see a slideshow of my kids.
