Unable to load contactcontactThere was a problem loading your albums. Chek your connection and try again. When I want to upload my photos, this error appears on the TV screensave, I have tried all the ways, but it has not responded, the TV accounts and the account are the same, I also tested it with a VPN, I even uninstalled the program, but there is a problem, please fix it, Google.

There is an issue where attributions in the screensaver show information on the wrong photos from my Google photos selections. Sometimes the screensaver is only showing 1 photo, but it shows attributions for 2 or 3 other photos. I've uninstalled updates and it shows attributions correctly, so there is something in the newer version that is pulling up info for the wrong photos onto the screen. Please fix

I was wrong, Google seems to have replaced their genius coders with vibe coding marketers. ambient mode looks like it works, for a short while, then logs you out of Google photos so your album cannot be used to blank the screen. Google breaks this feature so often, I can only assume it's on purpose.
