Q: iCloud Photo library nested albums.

I suspect I'm seeing the same as everyone else, but thought I'd check.

 

I see no nested albums in the new iCloud photo library feature. They aren't just listed without their enclosing folder but they aren't there at all.

Apple TV (4th generation), tvOS 9.1

    SSorry for the inconvenience to have spoken about another subject. Glad to see that iMovie theater and playlists work fine for you. It doesn't for many users. I think I know quite well the apple system but you may have son tips to share with us that could help us. Are u a Apple Music customer for instance ? Did you do anything special with iMovie ?...

    No I don't use Apple Music I use iCloud music though which of course you have to have for your playlists to show unless you use home sharing.

     

    Nothing special with iMovie, just shared the projects with theatre in the app on my Mac and logged into my account on the Apple TV.

    What do you mean with  "Icloud music" ?

     

    For imovie theater that's interesting because I'm doing the same as you but nothing shows up!!

    I tried many times to reinstall my Apple TV from zero but it remains the same.  And I check my credentials As well ..

    iCloud music is where your library is held in the cloud (not just your purchases), you can do this when you subscribe to iTunes match or Apple music, but unless your library is in the cloud there is no mechanism to get playlists from your local library to your Apple TV via the internet.

     

    For imovie theater that's interesting because I'm doing the same as you but nothing shows up!!

    I have no idea why, but the point I was trying to make is that there is no bug, it's something to do with your set up or environment.

    I finally found the solution. I had a an old vid that was hidden (invisible) on iMovie on my iPhone, I dont know why !!! but when I tapped (by chance) on the black area where this old film was located, this old film started playing . So I deleted it completely and then my iMovie Theater started to work on Apple TV  This old movie must have been there after a update or so.. and it was blocking all iMovie theater on Apple TV...

    Same, I use Folders at the top level in the Photos app on my Mac. These Folders contain Albums. On the ATV4 the Folders (and therefore the Albums contained in the Folders) don't show. Top level Albums do show (because they're not in Folders)

     

    I submitted a feature request through Apple's feedback link today. Given the ATV is the 'big screen' method of enjoying photos it is surprising that it doesn't support all container types available in the Photos app. Hopefully they will include in a future update.

    It looks like a joke but it seems nested albums are invisible on Apple TV, even with last tvOS update. I don't see the technical issues of implementing this feature, frankly…

    After the recent update restored nested folders for TV shows series I am hopeful we may eventually see nested folders supported in movies and photos.

    Hi,

     

    Just to add my support. I have one folder per year.

    So on my aTV I cannot see any album.

    When you have 14k photos, you need folders !!

    What a strange choice from Apple ... Let's correct it !

    Thanks.
