Q: Bug in screensaver type - My Photos ?

tvOS10 : When I choose "My Photos" as screensaver it goes to Photos app, and basically , then nothing happens. You can't choose an album as a screensaver, neither the whole Photos collection. When you go back to screensaver, the "My photos" is not checkmarked, and so , it cannot be chosen. Anyone tried or experienced this ?

You need to go into shared albums to set the screensaver. Or you can use home sharing to set local photos. Only a set amount (typically 100) will be temporarily cached

Yes, but there is a "My Photos" option in screensaver type, which basically opens "My Photos" app and does nothing. If you go back, it remains unchecked. I don't want to choose my HomeSharing photos , but my iCloud photos. It's definitely a bug.

It takes you into the photos app to set the shared album. You can't set your photos in your main library at this time.
