Apple TV Photo Problems

When homesharing to try and display photos on a screen saver, my apple TV only allows me to select photos from before December of 2019. Thanks

Photo screen saver copies a limited amount of photos of the shared photo collection. Best to select a specific folder or album, if you want any influence of what gets included, when the total number of photos runs in the thousands.


Home Sharing takes downloaded content from a networked Mac (or PC). For photos, that can be a Photos app Library or a folder with images. How that is configured, depends on the version macOS (Mojave or earlier vs. Catalina or later). Please specify.
