Apple TV screensaver still not showing all photos

This problem seems to have existed for years for many people. When you select your screensaver to be a folder from your Photos with a large number of photos, it selects a small cut of maybe 50 to 100. Has anyone found a way where the screensaver on Apple TV will actually pull from all of the photos from a large photo folder?

To slideshow all photos from an album, please use the slideshow feature, instead of the screen saver feature.

The screen saver feature is intentionally limited in number of photos and/​or collective size and/​or other parameters, from caching these photos to the Apple TV box.
