Newest screen savers don't show description, only allow selecting which screen saver to use

As of TVOS 18, the aerial screen saver no longer allows finding the name of the clip currently being shown. Instead, pressing up on the remote switches to a screen saver changer system for selecting which screen saver to use.

I can’t replicate your issue (tvOS 18.0).


At the change of an Aerial clip, the location description shows for 5 seconds in the lower left corner, as before.

When soft tapping (not deep clicking) the center Select button, the location description would show once more for 5 seconds, as before.

Pressing left or right would show the previous or next clip.

Swipe up or press up works only on Apple TV 4K (2nd generation or later) to switch to another screen saver category.
