When I first run the initial setup of my Apple TV 4K, it asked me if I wanted to install the Aerial Views screensaver, I said no. It still got itself into the system anyway.
Now I change my screensaver to Apple Music's library, but after a day or two, it keeps switching back to Aerial Views. Why does it want to force it so badly?
I've seen old threads about this issue with no replies, from 4 years ago. No one found a solution yet?
With the most recent Apple TV OS I can no longer choose my own images, it keeps defaulting to aerial images as mentioned earlier. I USED to be able to choose my own iCloud Photos, and get the screensaver to randomly scroll through MY images. This is no longer available as an option. I can only choose ONE CATEGORY at a time from my own images, not randomly go through my collections. Like the person previously stated I can not get rid of the aerial images. WHY has Apple taken away the ability to randomly show my own collections ???? NOT HAPPY !!!!

Hi David_27,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! To help isolate and clarify the issue, do have screen savers off during music play back as listed below:
1. Open Settingson Apple TV.
2. Go to General > Screen Saver, then do any of the following:
* Choose a different screen saver category: Select Type, then select the screen saver category you want to use.
* If you choose Apple Photos, choose one of the photo-based screen saver themes.
* Show or hide different Aerial themes: Select Themes, then choose any of the screen saver scene types to show or hide. For example, you can hide all underwater scenes.
* Change the Aerial screen saver download frequency: Select Download New Video, then choose an option.
* Set the screen saver delay time: Select Start After, then choose a number of minutes. This instructs Apple TV to automatically start the screen saver if the device has been idle for the specified duration.
* Turn screen savers on or off during playback of music and podcasts: Select Show During Music and Podcasts.
* Preview a screen saver: Select Preview.
Note: To use your own photos as a screen saver, see Create a photo screen saver on Apple TV.
We ask as the available options for Apple TV screen savers are listed above.
Thank you.
