Hi Ronni Thank you for the instructions.
After a very full week I am now looking at the issues I have with Apple TV. (BTW, I have a 4th Gen ATV, not a 4K model.) The initial impetus for a photos slideshow was that the Aerial screensavers had become very boring. A closer look disclosed that there are only 5 Aerial videos working. There used to be about 50! More investigation and googling needed...
