You are a fucking legend. This looks beautiful, I can't wait to try it out.
Edit: I'm checking it out now, and it looks amazing! I only have a 1080p screen so I can't really comment on that aspect mentioned in another comment.
One very small QOL feature I might suggest would be having a more slow fade or transition when waking the tv / exiting the screensaver. That's the only thing that I notice the default Backdrop screensaver does better. Dreamy definitely is very smooth, and is miles better than some other screensavers I've tested (looking at you Aerial Dream) in this aspect and if it can't be changed it's not a deal breaker. Just giving a suggestion. (Probably is just personal preference for me but I love the slow & smooth fade of the default. Others probably prefer the current way. :))
As u/SuperSilver-Haze mentioned, a weather option (preferably similar to the same location / style as the default Google Backdrop screensaver) would literally make this perfect. If this isn't possible, again not a deal breaker, but this package is so neat and clean that weather would be the last touch to make it everything I've been wanting and looking for in the scarce field of screensavers out there right now. Would happily pay for an IAP or a premium version that includes this!
Looks nice man, definitely needed a change. If you're taking feedback is it possible to add the current weather?
Looks clean and great! No more huge Chromecast built-in text either (quite the bonus as it’s been becoming a bit of a pet peeve to me). Will be installing this on my Shield momentarily and shall report if there are any issues (not that I expect any).
*Feedback: It would be great to have control over the resolution of the pictures. Many look pixelated at 2160p atm.
*#2: [Nevermind! See reply below (not a bug but user error)] I tried fixing the issue by entering 2160p as a keyword, but I’m not finding anyway to click okay. After pressing Done once on the keyboard, the selection defaults to Cancel and the keypad on my remote controls the keyboard again. Pressing enter/ok on the remote thus always presses Cancel. So basically no way to add keywords that I see due to this quirk. I even tried using the touchpad on Shield TV iOS app, but even with that trying to press the ok button simply isn’t possible.
Just installed it on my shields - looks and works great
A few requests:
Weather - as already mentioned
the ability to hide attributes such as people’s name and places name. A option button would be great.
Thanks for spending the time to make this!
Awesome stuff pal! Rocks on Mi Box S + 4K Philips ambilight.
I like that i has no "ChromeCast built in" text.
What I usually miss from screensaver is to save or open the image.
Thank you for this, it is excellent.
Well done, I’ll get this installed later today.
What is the resolution of the images? Will they look okay on a 4K TV?
I can't install it from my browser. It says my mibox is not eligible
I’m going to install this as soon as I get home, I can already tell this is going to be vastly superior to the stock images. Killer icon, by the way!
Would love to try this, but I can't because my Play Store is saying that my Tanix Tx3 Max (which is basically a standard Amlogic S905W TV box) is unsupported. What CPU architectures are required to run this? Is there a minimum Android version?
Fantastic app, thank you so much. Any chance you could do something similar with a user's own photos? e.g. Google Photos or Network storage as a source.
I'm currently using FotoDream, but it isn't nearly as polished as this, and doesn't have the overlays.
Really liking this screensaver. Can you add the ability to hide the clock? I like a clean look with just the image (I understand the author's name must be show).
Definitely a lot better than the Google made one!
Love it. Been using it for years now. Is there any way I can donate?
I was tired of the default screensaver and wanted to see Unsplash photos on my TV but didn't find a screensaver for it so I created one.
Here is the link from Play Store website: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samabox.dreamy To install it from Play Store app just search for "Dreamy".
It's still new so I would like to hear your feedback guys on how to improve it or if you have any ideas.
