**Update 2/24/2021** The developer is very responsive and added exactly the feature I wanted. Fanstastic app and fantastic support. Thank you! ** Old Review ** I really like the concept of this App, but I purchased it to use on my Chromecast w/ Google TV and I have yet to figure out how to enable it as the screensaver. I see another user was able to use developer tools to enable it, but that's beyond my technical ability. If you can make it easy to use on the Chromecast w/ Google TV it would be 5 stars and your possible userbase will be much, much larger. **Update** I found a much easier way to enable this app on the Chromecast w/ Google TV. Simply install another screensaver app like Aerial Dream. Aerial Dream provides the option to change the default Chromecast w/ Google TV screensaver and it not only gives you the option to choose Aerial Dream as your screensaver but it will also let you select Dashboard Screen Saver as your default. Essentially you are using Aerial Dream to give you the screensaver selection control that Dashboard Screen Saver is currently lacking for the Chromecast w/ Google TV. I'm upgrading my rating to 4-stars now that I can actually enable it on my Chromecast. I'll give it 5 if the developer adds the screensaver selection built in to the app that Aerial Dream has.

Good app. Can you make youtube and vimeo video autoplay?

You're the best! This is exactly what I have been looking for. Wanted a way to display my calendar as my TVs screensaver. The fact that it uses Dakboard is even better. Have only had it installed for a day, but it's been working perfect on my two Sony Bravia's. A suggestion would be to link to our Dakboard account so we can easily select the screen we want to display. The URLs can get pretty long, and using the remote is tedious, especially having to do it on multiple devices. Or if that's not possible, just be able to store multiple URLs.

I have an Arduino Nano 33 IOT that monitors parameters in my reef tank and displays them on a webpage on my local network. Thanks to this app, that webpage is the screensaver on my TV now.

Simple and to the point, works perfectly on my Nvidia Shield TV! My only wish would be a way to go back after clicking a link without exiting the screensaver; maybe show a simple browser UI only if navigated away from the initial URL?

Does exactly what I wanted on my new Chromecast w/ Google TV. The only downside being that I had to manually override the ambient mode of the Chromecast using ADB. I can now stream movies, cast media and when the display goes to sleep it shows my own custom web page, perfect! These are the settings I had to change in case it helps others: adb connect adb shell settings put secure screensaver_components chyzinr.webpagescreensaver/chyzinr.webpagescreensaver.Screensaver adb shell settings put secure screensaver_default_component chyzinr.webpagescreensaver/chyzinr.webpagescreensaver.Screensaver
