It’s a fairly hidden feature that not many people seem to know about, but the Apple TV has some pretty great options for customizing its screen saver. There are a few default sources of photos you.
Please note the below privacy policy applies to all Supported Sources (see above). Specifically this includes your Google Data and your Facebook Data, among others. {source} will be used to indicate the appropriate data source, depending on which type of sources you have configured.
Access
There are four occasions when the app will connect to your {source} account to save the metadata of your photos/videos into the app’s local database:
- When you first connect the app to your {source} account.
- When the app is launched.
- Periodically in the background when your Android TV is on.
- When you press the 'sync now' button.
By regularly connecting to your {source} account we can ensure that the information that the app stores about your photo library is kept up to date. This means that when the screensaver or gallery starts we are showing you recent and relevant photos and albums.
There are three occasions when the app will download your photos or videos stored:
- When your screensaver starts and displays one of your photos or videos that photo or video will be downloaded.
- When the app is launched, and therefore the gallery is displayed, any visible thumbnails will be downloaded and displayed.
- When you interact with the gallery and open a photo or video that photo or video will be downloaded.
