Apple TV Photo Slideshow Repeats Photos Over and Over

This issue used to be bad before, but Apple TV’s latest update in September 2022 has made this issue massively worse. Using the Photos app, I like to play a slideshow from a Shared Album. Unfortunately now I can’t do it at all, because the photos app just repeats a tiny subset of the album over and over and over. It doesn’t matter if the album contains 10 photos or 3,000 photos, the issue is exactly the same. And it doesn’t matter if I select “shuffle photos” on or off; “repeat photos” on or off. The app chooses about 10-15 photos and just repeats them over and over and over. This morning I wanted to watch a slideshow using a shared album with over 1300 photos. It literally selected only TWO photos and went back and forth and back and forth between the two photos. Half out of comedy and half out of anger , I let it play for 10 minutes. Over and over and over and over it repeated the same two photos. And it doesn’t matter if I toggle any of the settings - duration, repeat, shuffle. None of these switches have any impact whatsoever. I have killed and restarted the app several times. I have restarted the device several times. I have tried all my different shared albums. I mean what a complete joke - this is Apple’s worst product by far.

Me too! So frustrating and wondering if anyone has resolved this. I already spent two hours with Apple Support with another but related issue so would rather not do that again. Thanks!
