Compared to my old chromecast device, Ambient mode doesn't support Google Photos as day dream. Disappointed as this App is moving in opposite direction.

Doesn't support Google Photos!!! Photos are great memories to watch in a big TV. Add Google photos for Android TV or some other way to connect and view Google Photos.

Is not the same than my Chromecast device :( Please, add the possibility of use my photos in the Screensaver/Backdrop, like on my Chromecast.

I just don't get why it has none of the options of the Chromecast counterpart.

[update]: giving one more star since they added weather. but even though i set it to a photo album from the home app, it still doesn't take effect on backdrop 1.3.4 (with the 33 cast receiver). haven't been using it again long enough to still if it still has the lag/sleep issues. could really use an update from the play store (not sure if newer devices than mine are getting something better as part of the system image) [update update]: didn't leave it enabled long enough to find out if it still gorked sleep. keeps the device running hot compared to other daydreams.

Does everything except what I want it to do. No support for Google Photos? Why oh why?
