I would love to see screensaver option when listening to your music through plex, something like graphic equaliser, that would make a great app even better in my opinion.

Was going to suggest this. I’d also like a choice of screensavers, such as using photo slideshow as screensaver.

I’d love to have Album/track info with a graphic EQ (even better…does anyone else remember Winamp ‘Visualizations’?) for music playback and something like photos etc for everything else.

Well, I was going to ask how to enable it on the Android TV plex app, but I see from these suggestions, it does not have one. Currently, my TV screen saver kicks on when playing music, and then the TV turns off thinking there is no activity because the album clip art just stays stationary on the screen.

I too find it bizarre that Plex has no music screensaver. It basically renders the app useless for me to play music. With all the OLED tv’s out now, you would think this would be an easy fix to add.

You’d think that after 5 years this would have been addressed already! Hey PLEX! Can we get some kind of reply already?!

Sure! Let’s talk screensavers on TV clients. Unfortunately, there are complications with screensavers on some TV clients in that we aren’t allowed to display them any more. On general TV clients? Our current focus is less around providing a screensaver and more about providing the best way to listen to music on TV clients. Once we finalize some decisions on that topic we should be able to provide a direct answer on the screensaver request here. :plexheart:
