Chill Zones: Loop videos

Every video I upload has the same thumbnail showing on the app and the Apple TV

I have over a hundred videos from :10 to 3:00 running on shuffle ands it’s such a great way to recall the sights ands sounds of memories. We alternate screensavers in our Apple TV between the videos in this app and our Favorites folder in Photos.

This app is great! It allows me to loop my aerial drone videos to my large screen tv through my Apple TV 4K. I upload the videos to my iCloud account using the Chill Zones app on my iPad. Then after downloading the Chill Zones app on the ATV, I just click on it and select which video I want to watch, click on the repeat icon and sit back and enjoy! I was having an issue of my videos not loading on the ATV app with tvOS 17.4, just an endless spinning gear. I contacted Filip, the developer, by email and he was so incredibly helpful in troubleshooting the problem. He updated the app today and it now works perfectly. Outstanding customer support!

Please do updates with the ability to create separate folders and shuffle those playlists

Great app but iPhone app crashes often. I wish the corresponding Apple TV app had volume/mute settings. Also wish Apple TV app could delete downloaded videos; need to delete the app to do that, then reinstall app and re-upload videos I want to keep. Some videos that play fine everywhere and even look fine in iPhone app preview play all washed out on Appke TV.

So far so good.

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.

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!!
