Apple TV not showing black screen while playing music

Many people have posted a question on how to turn off apple tv screen saver and replace with a black screen. I have not seen any solution yet from apple over the years. I have found a workaround for now by saving a blank photo on a shared photos app folder and set my screen saver to point to that folder only, with a single black picture. For now it does the trick, but if there is a systemic way of turning off the screen without turning off your TV (my audio is connected through the TV) it would serve better.


Apple TV HD, tvOS 18
