Storage Access Framework
On most of the Android phones SAF is supported, but on Android TV the support is rare, currently we only see Nvidia Sheild TV which has a good support of it.

To access files and folders (tree) with SAF, you need to install SAF providers additionally, see a list of tested SAF providers as below:
1. Google Drive, Dropbox, One Drive: install the app, and you have SAF OPEN FILES support.
2. SMB network drive: on Nvidia Shield TV, you can add a SMB connection in storage setting, then you will have SAF OPEN TREE and SAF OPEN FILES supprots.
3. MTP/PTP: just connect your iPhone or Android phones to your TV, and turn on photo transfer mode, this provider will appear in SAF picker interface.

Does most of what I want it to do, when I installed it on my android tv. One additional feature I would like is that if I'm running a slide show, the TV screen saver kicks in after the set time. Is there a way to stop the screensaver from starting while there's a slideshow in progress?

This is a small app that does what is supposed to: allows you to view your photos on the MI Box. Two things that should be improved: 1. There should be two or three good transition effects; 2. The shuffle feature should not repeat photographs in the same folder. I have hundreds of photos in one folder and there are pictures that appear several times while others don't show up. I didn't test the video playing functionality, as I have another app I use for that.

One of the easiest, simplest, easy to learn and use photo viewing app for Android TV use currently! Pack with the necessary slideshow feature to view your photo album easily! There's also a slideshow duration settings down to 1s to set according to your own preference speed where other application lack of this features! Navigating to photo album is also easy as everything is display in list or grid view just like using a desktop PC! Well recommended app for Android TV! Worth it! Thanks!!
