You can support the project in several ways. The first one is by creating nice descriptive bug
reports if you find any: https://github.com/giejay/Immich-Android-TV/issues/new/choose.
Even better is creating a PR: https://github.com/giejay/Immich-Android-TV/pulls.
Lastly, if you feel this Android TV app is a useful addition to the already great Immich app, you
might consider buying me a coffee or a beer:
- Enable development mode on the device (click the build number or "Android TV OS Build" 7 times in the System->About settings).
- Go to System -> Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
- If you don't have ADB installed on your PC, follow these instructions: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
- After downloading/installing ADB on the PC, connect to the device using it's IP: adb connect 192.168.xx.xx.
- Once you are connected, execute the following command: 'adb shell settings put secure screensaver_components nl.giejay.android.tv.immich/.playback.ScreenSaverService'
- Done!
