I have tried selecting all photos, and then select photos, and selecting all my folders.

The movies show up, but not the photos.

What is your model Apple TV box? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support


Set the parent folder of the images that you want to home share from the drop down menu (Choose folder…). The options below that are for folders within that first folder. The first level subfolders will be interpreted as albums in the Computers app (not the Photos app!) on the Apple TV box.


Use Home Sharing to share media from a computer to other devices - Apple Support

Home Sharing photos requires the Apple TV box, not the Apple TV app on a third party device.

In the Computers app on Apple TV, find the Photos tab. That should give a sub-menu for all photos or albums.

The format of the images should be JPEG, GIF, TIFF, or HEIF (for the latest models). I.e. no PNG or RAW formats.
