I can no longer control the ambient screensaver through the Sony Bravia TV. I keep being prompted to use the Google home app. I can still create new screensavers with the AI. but I cannot select AI screensavers or any other type. Having to use the Google home app on my phone to set my TV's screensaver is ridiculous. Time for new screensaver app and time to get rid of ambient.

it just does not work, I go through all the settings connect to Google photo of the album to display and the same default image shows up. I have a TCL tv and this used to work, but now it's already stuck on one image
