please add support for Apple TV screensavers
I do find it annoying that I have to export photos to disk and import them to iPhoto and then build an iPhoto-album ...

there must be a better way to get my photos into the apple tv screensaver.

Don't say "file" when you mean "folder", it's confusing.

Thx.

The dimensions are easyly searchable (height should be 1080 PCs) and an export preset is a matter of seconds.

You can make the export slightly bigger if you want to use the Ken Burns effect in the screensaver options.

I would like to have a simple process: just add a photo to a collection .

It might be possible to do it with a smart collection and applescript. But I‘m not a scripting wizard and when they developed the LR-app for Apple TV it should have been an obvious functionality...

Hello. I don't have Apple TV, but maybe, as the Mac screensaver can it look into a specific file?For my screen saver I just made an export preset, which save my images to a specific file, looked up by my screensaver... easy cheezy!!
