Update to 15.4 made my Album Art Cover screen saver disappear

Hi, I really like this feature and don't understand why it's no longer a selection in the screen saver section. They do have an option to create a s"shifting tile" screen saver which I tried by directing it to the folder where I literally collected cover images since many of my albums were missing them. Sadly it's not the same experience. In the older version, one can select how many album covers to show and the tiling is uniform. It also offers the option to click on an album cover to play it.

Does anyone know why this was excluded in this upgrade? Is there a way to add it back in?

You can make changes and test the changes, see what works best for you.

There is another issue I can't seem to solve. When the screensaver is locked, I can log back in with my user name & password but the options the "Sleep, Restart, and Shutdown" buttons are not available in the login window — only "name and password".

In fact, I haven't seen those options for a couple of years now.

It would be nice to have since there are times when you just want to shutdown instead of logging back in.

I upgraded to 15.4 about 24 hours ago and I still have the Albums option. I tested minutes ago and it and it works.

Is this with the Mac Studio in your equipment profile or another Mac?
