Why didn't the Apple TV get iCloud Photo Library with the new update? It's the only device that gets left out.

Really? Mine just shows photo streams and shared libraries.It has it. I have an ATV 3.
I have Photo Streams turned off everything and just use Photo Library. However, you can only see Shared Albums unless you setup Photo Sharing in iTunes / File / Home Sharing which is what I do because I want to have access to more. Same logic for under Screen Savor.Really? Mine just shows photo streams and shared libraries.

I agree. Only supporting Shared Albums is not what I want. Of course you can create a lot of Share Albums pretty easily. We really need Smart Album Sync support across all platforms. I do not want to manual create and maintain regular albums and shared albums unless I have to. Also, really need a better Family Sharing Options with multiple iPhones and iCloud Accounts.
Maybe it is coming????
Did not notice about Favorites since I do not use them.It should also support Favorites. Are you sure it's not?

I see.
I think the intention of Apple TV is to show your favorite photos.
Agreed. What I want is to use my favorite photos from iCloud Photo Library as a screensaver on my Apple TV. I suspect they might get around to this eventually, but the priority was Photos for Mac and iOS. It's kind of disappointing.
I think to create the smart album you have to select all favorites and add a keyword of say Favorite (example) then you could select that form iTunes. Very strange the ATV can not see Favorites when you can see them on the Phone.I think there is a work around if you have a mac, start up iTunes and under home sharing you can pick albums. You should be able to create a smart album of your favorites.
Worse case you can create a stream call favorites and send you favorites there.
Neither is perfect, but could work.
My mistake on iTune Sharing. You can imply select Favorites in Home Sharing. I only selected some of the folders and did not check it.I think to create the smart album you have to select all favorites and add a keyword of say Favorite (example) then you could select that form iTunes.

I really hope Apple improves this soon.
But could explain what you mean by "create a stream"? I am not familiar with that.
I hope we see this feauture soon.
