Walmart Onn 4K Android TV device: Ambient mode for Google Photos no longer working?

by ObiYawn

In the Google Home app, I have my Onn Android TV device set up to show one of my Google Photos albums in ambient mode. However, no matter what I set up in the Home app, the Onn's ambient mode stays locked to the Art Gallery.

On the Onn Android TV device itself, the screen saver is set to "Backdrop". Other possible choices here are "Turn screen off" and "Colors".

This used to work in the past for sure. Perhaps an issue introduced in a recent update?

Suggestions?

I've noticed this since last December when I got my device. I also have cctv and works on that with no issue. Is google accidentally blocking other non cctv? Does this work on shield or any other fevice.
