#Fire video screensaver how to

If you don’t know how to do that, follow this guide.

Connect to your Fire TV device via ADB.

So setting a 5 minute screensaver timer and a 10 minute sleep timer will result in the device going to sleep 5 minutes after the screensaver starts. The sleep timer starts counting immediately after the device goes idle, not from when the screensaver starts. Setting a value of 0 does not disable the screensaver but it does seem to work to disable the sleep timer, however it may be better to just use a very large value like Amazon does to disable the screensaver. If you select “never” from the Fire TV’s screensaver settings, the screensaver timer gets set to 2147460000, which is about 24 days. The default screensaver value is 300000, which is 5 minutes. The default sleep value is 1200000, which is 20 minutes.

The numeric values you use in this guide are in milliseconds. Thanks to mattgyver83, ftvlover, chiefs1975, and Y314K for their research and findings on this subject. I’ve written guides about these topics in the past, but new methods have been discovered that do not require rooting the device. Even though it’s not in the interface, it’s actually possible to set a custom sleep timer, a custom screensaver timer, or disable them altogether. That’s set to 20 minutes regardless of how the screensaver is configured. While the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick allow you to select from never, 5, 10, or 15 minutes for the screensaver timer, there is nowhere in the device’s settings to change the sleep timer.
