I use this app on my Nvidia sheild Android TV to browse the photos and videos stored on my PC and display them on my 60 inch 4k TV via SMB. Has a lot of customization options and can also connect to Dropbox, OneDrive and some other cloud storage services and also supports DLNA/UPnP and a few other protocols and could connect directly to a NAS or media server. Android/Google TVs typically don't have a lot of storage, so this app can help with that.

I've tried several apps like this and like this one the best as it has the right combination of features. The screensaver slideshows, extensive slideshow settings, and ability to connect to web services and local media are ideal. As of July, 2021, connecting with Google Photos or Drive does not work on the Chromecast with Google TV device though the author is working on the issue. I have confirmed that the problem does not exist on the Nvidia Shield.

The interface is not "beautiful" as advertised. Rather, it's difficult to figure out even after reading the manual. What is a "Laid Back Browser" for anyway? “Buffering...” is the message I see constantly when watching videos, whether the video is on a USB stick in the back of the TV, on a local network drive, or using one of the Cloud providers. I don't get that message with Photo Gallery and Screensaver, though that app is loaded with other issues. This is another Google Play app developed by a weekend developer, rather than something professionally designed, developed, and maintained.
