I have 5000+ photos in iphoto for it to draw from yet it grabs what seems to grab about 50 photos and then I'll see tons of repeats even in those 50 photos. The next time the slideshow loads you would think ok, at least it will show 50 complete different photos, but no, 30-50 of them will be ones you saw last time the screen saver played.
It's maddening how **** this feature is, when it's a really important feature, when they've had years to do it right and three hardware iterations. I don't get it? How does this get over looked?
I can activate the screen saver on my iMac and mirror it on my tv with Airparrot and it works flawlessly, it's obviously not an issue of wi-fi bandwith.. there's no reason why it can't work on the Apple TV.. it would be something as simple as the Apple TV fetching photos from the Mac and -only- resorting to its microscopic photo cache as a last resort. I don't get it. There are years worth of threads and hundreds of people complaining about this on the Apple Support forums... and nothing.
Urgh
