Hello ! Thank you very much for this solution which is very useful for my activity and almost perfect. Indeed, I've seen a bug and I do not if you can fix it. When I turn off/On the TV with the remote it works perfectly but when I switch off / on directly at the power outlet, the webpage does not appear as a screensaver, nothing appear. Did you already have the same issue, is there any solution to fix it ? Best regards ! Leo

Hi Leo. Thanks for the review. I haven't heard of that particular issue. Can you contact me via email to troubleshoot? I'm interested in your setup and the type of device you are using.

This app no longer works natively with Google TV, but the developer has provided a workaround you can use if you are savvy enough to use Android adb (involves installing on a PC, wirelessly connecting to TV, and some simple command line code). Took less than 30 minutes total. Using it to display a Dakboard calendar. And once you get it working, Google TV has a cool feature where you simply hit the back button on the remote from the home screen to turn on the screensaver. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the review. Yes, for the Chromecast it requires additional steps using adb. Other google tv devices allow the screensaver to be changed easily in the UI. Glad it worked for you!

Hello, I'd really like the app developer to look into this issue because I think it is solvable. I am having a situation with this app where it causes a crash of the entire TV and it reboots, it happens after about 5 or 10 minutes of being on the dashboard. I don't want to give one star because I know it works for a lot of people. The dashboard I'm trying to load is a Home Assistant Lovelace Dashboard and it crashes the entire OS, can we please look into the error reports and see if this is solvable? Thank you very much!
