Screen Saver Lost Home Sharing

TVOS 27 screen saver no longer has the option to use Home Sharing to access photos on my Mac. I have used that option to listen to my music while viewing my photos. The only option is to use iCloud shared albums.


Shared Albums are not an adequate replacement because Apple TV sorts them by most recently modified. Adding a photo or even renaming an album moves it to the first position, so there is no way to maintain an organized collection of screen-saver albums.


Home Sharing still lets Apple TV access my Mac photo library through the Computers app. Please restore the ability to select those albums as screen savers.


This isn’t just a screen saver. Seeing our photographs while listening to music has become a wonderful way for my wife and me to revisit the things we’ve done and places we’ve been as we get older.
