iTunes Artwork screensaver on Apple tv

Is there anybody out there that has figured a way of having the iTunes Artwork screen savver on the Apple TV (v2)? I have made a folder up with pasted artwork and pointed the TV to that, but it's not as nice as having the lovely mosaic of all the covers as with the "proper" saver

MacPro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

There isn't a way to do that. The problem is that the Apple TV needs to store the artwork internally, it has the ability to store photos through the photo settings in the iTunes advanced menu but unlike the Apple TV 1 it doesn't store the iTunes database file etc which the Apple TV 1 used to provide album artwork for a sceensaver.


The only thing you can do is manually add artwork to your photo library, which I believe you have already done.
