Considering I’ve spent more hours than I should have trying to get my bleeping Show 5 to give me my preferred clock background and face without constant dimming in an attempt to display those @#$& Tips, and considering that I wasted another few hours today trying to get Amazon Photos to actually work, and considering I then tried to relax while listening to an Amazon Music xmas playlist that played one song then stopped, so I started another playlist and it stopped after two songs, I don’t think Amazon will ever win me over to their ecosystem. Everything in Amazon’s ecosystems seems to have serious flaws. Perhaps if they hired decent programmers they might get something to work, but I’m not holding my breath. Aaargh!

ETA on Nov 26: Just got an email from Amazon stating that on Nov 25 (yesterday when I wrote this post) that Amazon Photos had some kind of failure resulting in it not being functional, but saying the issue has been corrected. I indeed was able to use the app this afternoon without issue and was able to set up several photos to be used as screensavers on my Fire TV Cube 2nd generation.
