Apple TV 6th gen Screensaver Issue

Hi there.

On my Apple TV 6th gen under Screensaver options the tab "My Photos" is not showing up.

On my TV 5th gen it still does. Same issue on both 15.3 and also 15.4.

Also the Location and Language Settings are the same.

Am I missing a point somewhere or is this a bug?

Kind regards and many thanks, Silas

Apple TV screensaver not working Trying to okay photo screensaver on AppleTV using tvOS 12.1.2, and have tried doing a hard reset, changing albums, etc. and “preview” is not activating and it won’t go into screensaver mode while playing music or podcasts. I have 12 AppleTVs and only having issues woth this one. It’s most likely a faulty unit but does anyone else have suggestions before I order a new one?

Apple TV Screensaver Not Working. Things worked great for a year but now no pictures show up after the assigned two idle minutes. None of the solutions online are working. I’ve switched it to aerial and back, tried a few other screensaver types, restarted/reset my Apple TV to no avail. Signed in and out of the iCloud account as well, no dice.

AppleTV Screensaver is No Longer Working with My Photos. Home sharing is on. I can access my photos in the screensaver setup. But nothing happens after that (except for the spinning circle of death). Also, the device won't upgrade to 16.3. WiFi network is strong, so it's not the WiFi connection.

“My Photos” is available as a screen saver option, if you have set an album as screen saver from the Photos app.
