Apple TV 3 and multiple photo libraries viewing

[mtbdudex]

I posted the below in the "Apple TV and Home Theater" forum, but I guess some of my fellow photo geeks ran into this and have a solution.....
So this may be more appropriate for advice/help.

I've got a AppleTV Gen 1 with 160GB hard drive, it syncs to whatever I tell it in iTunes.

That's a royal PIA for me, a hobbyist photographer, I use Aperture with 9 different aperture libraries.....

I have to go into Aperture, choose the specific aperture library, then exit it.

Then go into iTunes, select aperture, then it will sync to that photo library.....way too time consuming, and sync takes long-long time


I bought a Apple TV Gen 3, not opened yet.

If I decide to keep and open that, can I on the fly from the Apple TV Gen 3 menu on the HDTV tell it what aperture photo library to view for slideshows?

Or is that still dictated by iTunes?

sorry mods for double post, if this one get more traction I will delete the other one.....

So in real world, the only advantage of the Gen3 over Gen1 for multiple libraries is since Gen3 streams the photos you can view them instantly, while for Gen1 you have to sync, which can take hours when there are 12,000 images.......

so workflow is go to mac, swap library, then select iTiunes app, make sure it links to latest photo library, then AtV should sync to that.....

A big bag of hurt.....but oh well....
