Hello, can a kind forum member give some help.
I'm unable to find the "music" feature in the ambient mode on my new QLED 7 Series 2018 tv. Model: QA55Q7FNAKXZN
I can see Decor, Info and Photo features on both the TV and SmartThings app (iPhone Apple iOS 12.3.1) but not the Music feature.
Thanks a lot,
Christopher Shane

Took me a lot of effort, but I succeeded (Q9F from 2018): the trick is to connect via Bluetooth with the tv, not via AirPlay or Spotify Connect.
The steps I took on iOS: from the Bluetooth menu in iOS settings, connect to the tv (you need to verify on the tv). Then, when in ambient mode, if you play a song from Spotify it automatically plays it via de tv as it it were Bluetooth headphones/speakers.
Hope this works for you as well!

Hey there,
Tried it the moment I saw your message. It works like a charm!
Absolutely incredible effort, you deserve an award from Samsung for this amazing workaround. I still can't believe this is happening! Ambient Music is one key feature why I invested in this particular model. You are practically a blessing for whoever bought a Q7, Q8 or Q9 from 2018 and went through the sheer disappointment and frustration of not being able to get this feature to work. You can't possibly imagine the lengths I went to, to find a solution.
Whoever you are and wherever you are..thank you from the bottom of my heart for remembering to leave a reply and share this joy. Imagine being able to experience this wonderful feature nearly after a year of giving up, letting go and moving on!
Respect,
Chris

Haha you're welcome!
(NB: the Bluetooth connection is not as stable as Airplay or Spotify Connect and hence far for from optimal 😞 )

Btw 3JL, I hear that 2019 Q Models received a new set of ambient mode Decors. Unfortunately I didn't see any of it in the most recent firmware update. Mine is on 1292.1, any thoughts genius? Wouldn't it be awesome to have those new decor styles?

I was trying to find a way of putting that brilliant 'Bird clock' on my 75" Q9 not succeeded yet, however the Bluetooth music streaming in ambient mode from my Note 9 is amazing 👏 MANY thanks from me too.
