No real alternatives to "Photo Gallery and screensaver" for custom video screensaver?

by FizzyGizmo

Hi All,

For what seems like a relatively straightforward task "Play local videos as a screensaver" I'm amazed by the lack of options.

The only app which ever gets linked to or mentioned is "Photo Gallery and screensaver" but that hasn't been updated in over a year and has extremely poor performance and very limited support for 4k and HDR videos.

I'm surprised that no developer has taken it upon themselves to build what I would think should be a fairly basic app to simply play videos from a local folder, at this point I would pay a fortune just to have this problem fixed. Is the Android TV dev space really that empty?

You could go on upwork right now and pay someone to make this for you if you really think it's worthwhile.
