Screensaver turns itself off on Philips TV

by KoelleHB

Hi, proud owner of a new Philips 50PUS8804 here. Android Pie runs pretty good on it. One critical functionality for me is the screensaver showing our family photos. This works, but after sometime in standby or after a reboot, the setting is lost and returns to the default "Never show screensaver". This is very annoying. Any ideas here? Thanks

Ok, found a workaround. I could connect via adb and manipulate the screen_timeout setting directly. This gave me the idea to automate this and I used Automatic for it. So everytime my screen turns on this triggers the script to change the system setting. https://automagic4android.com/

Don't know nothing about your problem, but could you be so kind and explain how you were able to choose pictures for Screensaver? I have only colors, that's it

This is really annoying! I use the same photo screensaver and I already gave up...
