Slideshow timing control gone on tvOS 18 for screen saver

The Apple TV screen saver menu used to provide settings for the amount of time a slide show from home share stayed on screen (2,5, 10 seconds etc). These options are no longer available in TVOS18 and images are flying by. PLEASE add this functionality back!!

Screensaver issue in TVOS 26 After the recent update to TVOS 26 on my Apple TV 4K and Apple TV Gen3, I have found tha the screen saver wil not change to personal preferences, such as music albums in Home Sharing. I have tried resetting many times, but the screensaver always defaults back to the Aerials screensaver each time.

Apple TV 4K screensaver no longer has option for how often the image changes. I used to be able to choose a classic style and set how often the image changes. Now I can't seem to find this option, and the images change way to fast. I want it to work like a picture frame, where it cycles through my photos, but it stays on them long enough to actually look at them. Please bring this option back.

How do I change Up Next image display settings? in tvOS 26.2 the ability to chose the thumbnails in the top shelf Up Next is gone. You used to able to change it from Still Frame or Poster Art. This option is gone. Funny thing is with my two Apple TV’s one is stuck with Poster Art and the other is Still Frame, when they were both on Still Frame before the update. Anyway to get it changed back? [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Up Next Image display choice of Still Frame or Poster Art is missing from TV app settings. Where did it go?

Why? And how is this not fixed yet? Surely it cannot be that difficult? Why?

It's mind-boggling how half-baked this release is. They can't even get this situation cleaned up after how many updates?
