P: Ability to use albums as Apple TV screensaver

Since I cannot change my previous question into a feature request, I guess I have to make a new post:

Please make it possible to use our synced LR albums as Apple TV screensaver!

It is very cumbersome to export pictures from LR and import them into Apple Photos (which I don't use for anything else), and move them into a shared album which I then can choose for my Apple TV screensaver. And if I want to replace an image, I have to export it again, import it and remove the old version manually in Apple Photos.

It would have been so much simpler to just choose one of my synced LR albums!

I would really appreciate a feature like that. Would be nice to be able to have an album or all pictures as a screensaver. Now I use the publish function in Lightroom to get the photos I like as a screensaver. But it would be so much simpler to have the feature in Lightroom for Apple TV. 
Better transitions for slide shows is another feature I would appreciate.

I would like this ability on macOS itself.

For now, you can save your chosen photos to iOS Photos app, which automatically creates a "Lightroom" album. Set that album as screensaver. Any photos you save to camera roll on your iS device will be synced to the wallpaper album. that's my workaround.

ATV LR App needs a huge update to be a better showcase app. 

Going from grid to Detail view and going through photos and the exiting where you entered, not where you finished watching makes no sense and makes the app unusable.

Add option to view photos from the same day after search, add ability to filter properly, add nicer slideshow options. Please, adobe, don't kill the app.

I'd love also to see this feature.  The Adobe LR app on Apple TV is nice, but screensaver capability would be excellent.

Thanks for taking the time to post your request.  I'm not sure if it's feasible, but will take the request to our Dev team to ask.  Your thoughts & feedback are appreciated!
