No matter what I do (updated to latest versions of everything, restarted computer, restarted iPhoto, ) every time I try to play a slideshow on Apple TV it plays the first 25-30 slides and then starts randomly replaying those 30 slides. I've used albums with fewer slides, different albums.....I have tried all I know.
Please help.

Hello pbustamante,
Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to play a full slideshow in the Photos app on your Mac, as it repeats earlier shown photos. To help with this, please see if the steps from this Apple resource Get help with the Photos app on your Mac - Apple Support helps with your situation:
"If you're having other issues with Photos
If you're experiencing other issues—like missing or blank photo thumbnails, unexpected behavior, or if Photos won’t open—try to see if it's an issue with your library by following these steps.
Create a new Photos library and see if your issues persist:
1. Quit Photos.
2. Press and hold the Option key while you open Photos.
3. In the dialog that appears, click Create New.
4. Give your new library a name, then click OK. Note whether Photos opens successfully with this new library.
To return to your main Photos library, quit Photos. Then open it again while holding the Option key, select your main library, and click Choose Library.
Alternatively, you can open Photos in another user account on your Mac and note whether Photos opens successfully.
If Photos opens with the new library, or in a different user account, it might mean that there's an issue with your library. Follow the steps to use the Photos library repair tool on your main Photos library."
Cheers!

iPhoto has not been updated in a looong time. It might just be incompatible. You might have to create a movie from iPhoto and play that on the AppleTV
