Hi, I set the Kne Burns effect but when the screen saver is started on my Android TV The effect doesn't work. Could you help me? BR Andrea

Hi Andrea, I assume you're using Chromecast to cast your phone into an Android TV. In such case the Ken Burns effect is unfortunately disabled on the Chromecast device. The reason is that Chromecast doesn't support transferring the image to the TV and animating it there. Instead, Chromecast simply streams a scene produced on the phone as a video, with a very low bandwidth. Animating an image with Ken Burns effect in Chromecast would produce terrible pixelation, as if watching a video with insanely low bitrate.

I know that certain apps run natively on Chromecast (e.g. Youtube or Netflix), however this is only a proprietary closed set of applications hand-approved by Google from big vendors. There is no way to add a PhotoCloud app into Chromecast.

Please let me know if this answers your question.

Ah, right, I misunderstood, you were talking about the Daydream. I've reviewed the code and you're right - the Ken Burns effect is not applied to the DayDream. It's definitely a bug, luckily that should be fixable rather easily.

Thank you for your patience, I've finally managed to fix this issue. Day Dream now applies Ken Burns effect (if it is enabled in the Settings).

This fix will be present in PhotoCloud 1.13.17 (sorry, no estimate on release yet, but probably some day this week).
