Photos - Albums and Folders.

In my albums I have 2 sub folders - one album is called XXX and another album YYY - each containg about 5 folders in each. When I view the on my Mac - I can see each album with the folders pertaining to each album, but when I go onto Apple TV on my TV and look at Photos - all there is no album XXX and YYY - just all the folders in a row under each other.

How can I get to see on Apple TV what I see on my mac?

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 13.7

I'd like to help, Petra, but currently I cannot use my Apple TV. There is no Wi-Fi at my home because of a broken glass fibre cable. It may take a while until it is fixed. But if I remember correctly, it is not possible to view the albums on the Apple TV in the same way as on our Macs.

As a work-around I am copying the albums I want to view on my Apple TV to a shared Album, where I can find them more easily.

Thank you.

I have provided a screen shot of what I see on my Mac Photos - I have blacked out album names. As you can see I have 2 main heading in My Albums - then drop down different albums relating to main heading. This is what I can see om my photos in my mac.

When I go onto Apple TV I see all the albums in a row with no main heading - like in this case - Photo Slides Scanned and second one Projects.

How can I arrange these albums so I can see same as mac and Apple TV?
