Google TV - Ambient Mode used to show Google Photos, stopped for no reason

by davidmcw

I used Google TV Ambient Mode to show a few different albums, and it worked flawlessly for a while. At some point this stopped, no idea why & while I can still select the albums that I would like to show, it just doesn't any more, any idea where to even start looking? Thanks in advance.

I have never got this to work on my Android TV devices, but works fine on my CCwGTV. Would love to know if anyone can help you with it.

Does it revert back to displaying the default Google pictures (landscapes from professional's and all that)? I've had this happen a few times on my CCwGTV as well, but afraid the only fix I have found it simply leaving it for a bit and at some point it decides to use your Google Photos again. Not sure if turning it off and on affects this or not, but after a day or two it seems to work as normal again. Sorry this isn't much help, just know it will eventually work again. If you find a fix that would be great though!

yeah, this happens all the time, and now it's happened again. I wonder if it has anything to do with the shield update I installed the other day. I don't remember what I did to fix it last time.
