Screen saver tvOS 18 timing gone

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!!

+1 for this. Give us back the slideshow timing control. The new default is much too fast. Please Apple, please….

Apple making a worse user experience when they decided to update to TVOS18. Slide duration is a clear case in point. My other beef is that you could never have the screen saver appear any less than after 2 mins which in my opinion is way too long. An OLED tv is much more sensitive to screen burn so requires that a static picture is refreshed more frequently than 2 mins.

My thoughts too. When Apple has release updates over the last couple of years they always seem to muck it up somehow. I have been getting frustrated watching images with great detail change before you can look at it. I also discovered today that audio going to my HomePods in other rooms keeps dropping out since the update. Sounds like the testing is too narrow.
