Solution for ambient mode (screensaver) only playing a small amount of photos with Google streamer and TV
If ambient mode is only playing a small selection of photos and you've already tried turning off curation try this. After much searching I found a solution that worked for me. On your Google TV or streamer you need to go into apps and find the ambient app. Once there, clear the cache, then the data, and then force stop the app. Once you've done this, you can reset your preferences for the ambient screensaver and it should work. Suddenly I saw photos I never realized or a part of a slideshow and I loved it. What is happening is the data and cache are holding on to Curation mode even when it is switched off. Following these steps removes the stuck curation mode. Hope this helps.
