WARNING: Google Chromecast devices removed the ability to set third-party screensavers in Aug 2022 update. This can only be circumvented through adb commands. Other devices can be set through the included UI.
I don't know since when, but it seems that Chrome Cast is no longer appearing in the search list. It's a very user-friendly and convenient app, and I've found it very helpful, so I would greatly appreciate it if you could address this issue.
Use to be the best app ever. Untill it stoped working on Google TV.
UPDATED 28-June: The developer responded to my concerns immediately and was very helpful to work with me to get my implementation on Google TV up and running! He is working an updated and more clear instruction guide. Thank you!
Please help or can you issue a refund, i purshased this app to display a home assistant dashboard and stuck on the authentication screen with no keyboard to add the credentials.. was tested on 2 devices and the same issue
Works beautifully on a Chromecast using the supplied commands. Thanks for the great app.
update in 2022 disabled chrome cast
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!
Adding text zoom feature. And stability & bug fixes
