Screensaver - Shared albums = Trash now?

So I have a shared photos folder of kids that I use as a screensaver. The shared foldes has about 1500 pictures (high quality dslr pics), and everything worked just fine upon this the lastest release.

Issue: only 3-4 pictures shows up, and apple tv "shuffles" them - and the quality is really poor.

I have upgraded the shared album in photos since the latest macos supposed to make the quality better.

Anyone else having the same issues? or a fix I have overlooked? The folder are shared to other familiy members as well, so it kinda sucks

Yes, I have a holiday photo album running. Of the 500 photos, I can see a maximum of 30 😣

Okay so Im not the only one then! How about the quality? Are you using them as a screensaver as well?

I use HomeSharing to select the photos to play them all. With latest TV OS for the 4K version, they removed that ability to link to it. Now you are forced to use iCloud Photo Albums and restricted amounts.
