The Apple TV screensaver no longer comes one automatically when music is playing. It used to work fine.
it works if press the menu button repeatedly on the remote (as always) and it works when i op review it. And it works if nothing is going on. But it no longer comes on while music is playing. I can get to operate manually, while music is on
any ideas?
Apple TV HD, tvOS 16
For me, the screen saver comes on with the Music app active in some circumstances, but not others.
I’m not sure what I did differently when the screen saver came on by itself, but just selecting something to play is not it. Some fiddling with navigation with the playlist options in the Now Playing page seems to change something, to help the screen saver activate. I haven’t figured out the details yet.
Easier to invoke the screen saver manually through Home Screen﹥Menu button.
If you would like to see (options for) Music app and screen saver done differently, then let Apple know. Feedback - Apple TV - Apple
For other music/audio apps, it may depend on how the app is programmed.
The radio.net app seems to allow the screen saver’s normal schedule.
The myTuner Radio app seems to allow the screen saver’s normal schedule.
The Spotify app seems to not invoke the screen saver.
The Apple Podcasts app seems to allow the screen saver’s normal schedule.
