Your Photo Stream is empty message

After I turned it on for the first time it took 3 hours to work. How long have you been waiting?

 

The Photos app only works (annoyingly) with albums you have set as shared.

Maybe worth setting a couple of shared albums and see if they show up.


Scratch that, somehow I managed to miss the bit in your post where you mentioned shared photos

 

I've had issues in the past where my photo stream haven't shown old photos, but started showing new ones.

Have you tried snapping a couple of photos since you set the ATV up, just to see if they show?

 

That's very odd. There seem to be some random weirdness happening with some people for some reason. I've not had any issues with my photos showing up so far but I'm going to keep a close eye on it to see what happens.

 

I had the same issue. The solution was to change the network-connection from Lan to Wlan. As soon as the ATV4 was connected via Wlan the photos appear.

 

Same issue for me. Photo stream works fine my all other devices ( iPad / iPhone / mac ) but on new apple TV it only shows 5 photos. The shared photos appear but the actual photo stream does not update.

I've tried the usually logging out and back in, turning off photo stream and then back on.

If anyone has a solution please post! THANKS.

P.S didn't really understand the previous update going for LAN to WLAN

 

He's just saying if you are connected with an Ethernet cable, take it out and set up a WiFi connection from the settings menu.

At this point, it's worth a try, nothing else has been helping so far.

 

I'm also having issues with photos. I got the "your photo stream is empty" message too. Turning photo stream and shared photos off, then on again, initially helped, but the problem still shows up at random. It's also not downloading more than a few dozen photos, even though my iCloud photo stream should be maxed out.

 

I've tried wireless, wired connection. I've double checked photos on my MAC, IPhone IPad and they are sync up nicely but ATV4 only shows 5 photos. Ahhhhhhhh.

Along with my network drop off issue I might do a complete system restore and start again.
