What is the Apple TV (4th gen) screensaver photo limit?

I have a folder with about 4000 pictures specifically made to be viewed on my Apple TV screensaver. I have activated this through Home Share in Itunes. After surfing the web i have found that a lot of people are frustrated with the Apple TV´s photo limit, but i have not confirmed that this applies to the 4th gen. So how many photos can my 64 GB Apple TV (4th gen) show in screensaver?

Is there a cap for the amount of files or does the file size apply as well?

Apple TV, tvOS 9.2.2, 64 GB

I don't think there is a definitive number and suspect it may have more to do with size, however you will get no more than 80-100 slides in a screensaver on the Apple TV 4.

Thanks for the quick reply, I was afraid that of that :-S

Is there a workaround to have a larger amount of photos available for offline perusing?

If, no. Is there an online workaround?

No there is no workaround, if you want more photos you should use a recurring slideshow
