Screensaver + Spotify App

I haven't been able to get my Arial screensaver to auto-start while playing music through the Spotify app. I set the time to to screen saver to 2 minutes, with no auto-starting. I was able back track and "preview" the screensaver via the Settings panel, but I would like have the screensaver start without having to switch between apps. Is this possible?

It seems the current version of Spotify for tvOS is programmed to prevent the screen saver to kick in automatically, by keeping an activity status. You can give them feedback about that. App Support ↗︎

Rather than the screen saver preview in Settings, you can invoke the real screen saver from the Home Screen, by clicking Menu.
