Fireplace Screensaver For Tv
David
Cozy up to the fire without risk of burning, or the need to rekindle, with these fireplace screensavers for Windows and Mac. While they won't actually increase room temperature, these screensavers can add a bit of warmth and coziness to any indoor environment.
The only issue I faced is that the fire stick goes to sleep after a certain amount of time, so it takes a little workaround to make your screensaver stay on indefinitely. My handy hubby followed a tutorial to make it happen, just click here!
This is a complete "cop-out" answer and basically means we cannot use Pandora with modern TVs due to static blue background. I have a sony 2019 OLED running android. It isn't that hard to make an android app that solves this problem.
C'mon Pandora, you need to create this ability. We just bought a $2k Samsung less than three months ago and the screen is burned in from playing the Pandora app on it. This is the main device we play Pandora on. I say if you can't fix it, then you are going to lose a LOT of customers, including us. There can be a way that we should be able to toggle the remote if we want to see who the artist of a song is. It doesn't need to sit there for free advertisement for the artists while it's ruining our very expensive tv sets.
Still waiting for Pandora to actually make a screen saver myself. Burned my last tv. Switched to Spotify and actually like it better since it switches up for the behind the lyrics stuff. Just bought a brand new smart tv and was hoping it would have the Pandora screen saver. Should have known better. Been asking for about 6 years and keep getting the same response.
Connect a ROKU streaming stick to one of the smart tv's HDMI ports and run pandora thru it. ROKU has a screen saver on its Pandora app. A 39 dollar ROKU will save your 2000 dollar Samsung screen. Kind of frustrating but it works.
This make zero sense whatsoever. There USED to be a Screensaver on Samsung TVs with Pandora, it was the album art with the artist and title text floating around the screen with a black background. Now suddenly it no longer does it. But a TV at a hotel I stayed in the other night had the exact screen saver, not sure what brand it was. But the point being, Samsung TVs have had it before so where did it go?
I recently got a Roku soundbar and the floating album cover appears after 5 minutes or so. I did not have this feature when playing Pandora through the app on my Sony smart TV. It must be connected to the particular streaming device.
I use Pandora through the fire stick app on many of my TVs. The Pandora app used to have a screensaver built in years ago. Then, it seems like they removed it and for some reason. This has nothing to do with the fire stick and everything to do with Pandora's app for the fire stick. Stop blaming other people and fix your app Pandora.
I'm using Chromcast to cast Pandora's website to my TV from my laptop. I noticed though, the webpage is fairly static, meaning the images on the page do not change/update/move about the page. I'm concerned if I continue playing Pandora on my TV, the static images could cause image burn. A music visualizer would be great!
I voted for this issue on the feature request board. One workaround for Fire TV is to go to the Fire TV home page. Pandora keeps playing and the screensaver comes on after a few minutes. It's not a great solution, though, because the TV eventually goes to sleep and stops playing the music.
We have two Sony TV's. An older unit, which is more that 10 years old, and a newer XBR85X950H. The Pandora ap on the old Sony goes into screen saver mode after several minutes, with the album graphic floating around on the screen. But, with the 950H, there is no screen saver.
I know this is a concern to many other Pandora subscribers, and it seems there is no fix for this, so I get around the problem by turning the picture off.
My question is, who develops the Pandora aps? Pandora or Sony? Or is it a third party?
So are you saying that it's up to Amazon to allow the Pandora app change to a Screensaver type mode when playing music on a Fire TV? Netflix goes to a screensaver type mode if I'm not watching anything for a while. It shows information about other shows I could watch. Then it goes back to the normal Netflix interface if I press a button. Why can't Pandora do the same thing? It used to, years ago, but then stopped.
Yea the issue is that the previous design was dependent on artist backdrops, which not everyone will have. Without an artist backdrop, you'd essentially get a blank screen. So that's the reason for bringing in the album art. But options are always possible.
@Luke I uunderstand not everyone will have backdrops but I for one would prefer black behind transport controls if no backdrop is present than to have the backdrops that I do have covered by album cover. Again album cover is fine but can it be made smaller and relocated either lower left or right of the screen rather than center? Or better still, a toggle that the user can use to decide where they want it, it's size or whether they want it at all? Just asking.
(edited to add...) I personally don't use the meta scrapers but I would bet most people do so wouldn't most of the folks also have backdrop images for artists since the scrapers pretty much automatically download them? Again, I don't use the scrapers but I do put a lot of time (and work) into collecting my own backdrops and it makes it all the more aggravating that I've put in that work and can't really see the labor of my love. My only point is that more options for all users is better than few. Please do consider. Additionally please do consider native implementation of visualizations within the Emby app. In my opinion it would really make the music listening experience head and shoulders above the competition and at the minimum put us back at the level we were/had with Windows Media Center and Media Player. Thanks again
@ebr another question about this one. I reverted back to Android TV 2.0.33 to get the screen presentation back that shows the background image slideshow instead of the album art. The presentation is correct but the background images are no longer rotating. The images never did rotate with Tizen and Roku but they did rotate with Android TV. Did the rotation not happen until version 2.0.48 or was it there in 2.0.33 previously? If previously there what could be the issue that they are not rotating now? I checked and the folders do have multiple image files named backdrop #(1-n)jpg and this previously used to work. Any ideas on why it may not be working now? Does the combination of server version and client version have anything to do with this functionality working? Just wondering. Thx
@ebr, I just wanted to revisit this topic one more time... I noticed announcement of release to version 2.0.70. I read through the release notes and a good deal of the notes for 2.0.33 and 2.0.48 as well and I think something that could help us all out with version release notes (not just Android TV/Fire TV client but all clients) is to not only include what is added to the client on new release but also what is taken out. Example is what started this thread... I was on 2.0.33 and upgraded to 2.0.48. Upon installation of the new, I noticed a non-desirable behavior and it caused me to have to regress back to a previous version (where I still am today). Other than installing 2.0.70 and either finding that it does or does not fix the undesirable behavior and having to uninstall and revert to the previous version like I did, is there a way we can include all changes to versions (gives and takes) in the version release notes?
In going from 2.0.33 to 2.0.48 no mention was made in the release notes that the audio screensaver behavior had been changed. This implied that 2.0.48 would do everything that 2.0.33 did only better by adding new features. After finding out the hard way that that is not necessarily accepted to be always true, how will we know in the future that the previous and desired behavior has returned or been improved? Again, I think including an explanation of what is removed as well as added in the version descriptions would be helpful in giving us better and all information needed to make decisions about upgrades.
I am tempted to install 2.0.70 just to see if audio screensaver has been revamped or reverted back to at least 2.0.33 implementation but since no mention is made either way, I'm doubtful that it has changed from 2.0.48. I'd like to avoid making unnecessary changes unless I can be reasonably assured that the upgrades are actually meaningful improvements or add something that I'm really looking forward to.
Hi. Stable release notes usually just hit the "high points" and major changes as opposed to every tiny detail that may change. If you follow the beta release notes, they are usually much more detailed.
