Apple TV Screensaver - showing black screen instead of photo

Hi,

I have an album set up through home sharing on my Apple TV. The album has 1 photo in it. The photo displays and then after 2 minutes it goes to a black screen for 2 minutes, then back to my photo. I have the settings set to never go to sleep. I confirmed it is the only photo in the album. I have similar tv's set up like this with no issue. Any ideas on how to get the tv from showing a black screen during my screensaver and only show my 1 photo at all times?

Currently, for a Home Sharing screen saver, there will be a blank/black image between the last image in the sequence and the first of the repeat. With only one image, that means no image on half the time.

You can trick the system a bit by using copies of the same image.

You can give feedback to suggest a single image screen saver without blanks. Feedback - Apple TV - Apple
