Chill Zones: Loop videos

It does strange things with the memory on all of my phones

Thanks so much to this creator! It makes it possible to use video as a screensaver or wallpaper on Apple TV. I use this for my business as a graphic display. Love it!

When I attempt to upload a video on the iPad app, the app freezes with the “compressing video” dialog. It never goes beyond that. I let it sit for over an hour for a 23 second video. It just sat there.

I have the ability to use my personal footage on a loop, similarly to Apples preset scenic screen savers. I have a library of drone footage I can now display. App works flawlessly. Can’t recommend it more.

As a professional photographer I can say this app is outstanding. I use it via an iPad 4th Gen and usb to iPad card reader and Apple 4K TV dongle. I open my drone video tapping iPad folder then SD card icon. Then I locate drone footage I want and export to iMovie. Then I “save” it while in iMovie which results in drone footage being saved in iPAd “Photos”. (That last one was the important step). Sometimes it can take many minutes to upload. Now I go to Chill Zones app and select the same movie in Photos, name it, then upload it to the Cloud using Chill Zones app. Finally I go in to Apple 4K TV menu and Open Chill zones app, and select the drone footage to loop on my big flat screen tv. Viola!

I LOVE this for my mini edc or festival sets in my living room. Pair some looped screensavers with some great edm and some sound sensitive light strips or Nanoleaf lights and you got yourself a stage. Only thing I have is if a progress bar can be added in the TV app to lmk download progress for what is in the cloud, currently it just says “loading” for an unknown amount of time until it’s downloaded and will play. Love this app!!

WOW! Looping screensavers! I love it! Screensavers even have sound!

Super easy to use and absolutely amazing capabilities

Update 6.17.21 Attempted to use the app with my iPhone instead of my iPad. It worked pretty smoothly. Even with long videos. I think the app needs to explain in the description that devices before 2018 will have problems running the app. I also wish I could make it the default screensaver. But it does work. Previous review - I’ve tried videos as short as 5 seconds and the app will freeze and then start again later. If it worked I’d love it.

This app does exactly what you’d expect. Save some videos to the app and then you can view them on the Apple TV in a looping screen saver view. It was super easy to get started and set everything up, and within a minute my saved videos appeared on the TV! One thing - I was hoping I could listen to music while having the videos play (similar to how Apple’s default screen savers function) but this was not available. I would love to see this feature added later in development! This app does exactly what you’d expect. If you want custom screen saver videos, this is brilliant.
