I am confused.  I am using the "screen saver."

Do I have to do something in slide show first??

Thanks

Apologies for the confusion, @Grandma78633!

Once the image appears as your slideshow on your screen, kindly press the star* button on your remote to show the options available. 

Let us know if you have further queries.

Best regards,

I am still confused.

I am using the SCREEN SAVER, not the SLIDE SHOW option.

There are no options that I can find for SCREEN SAVER that have to do with how many photos they shuffle and when.

That is definitely the case. You will only see some of the photos. BUT, I FOUND IF YOU WAIT A FEW DAYS, OTHER PICTURES WILL EVENTUALLY SHOW IN THE SLIDE SHOW. IT TAKES TIME. IT TOOK ABOUT FOUR DAYS TILL I NOTICED SOME OF MY LATEST PHOTOS I ADDED FINALLY POP UP, NO RHYME OR REASON AND NO WAY TO CONTROL SLIDE SHOW PRESENTATION. ROKU MAY KNOW OF THE SITUATION BUT WILL NOT INVEST IN SOMEONE TO IMPROVE THIS APPLICATION. 

[Grandma78633]

Thanks for the confirmation.  Interestingly, I am not seeing some of the FIRST photos I loaded - - new ones seem to pop up MORE frequently

[RokuCarly]

Thanks for the added information and for clarifying, @Grandma78633.

In this case, kindly try to visit the Photo Stream link and make sure that the albums with the photos you want to see are selected and have the checkmark in the box "Include in Roku Screensaver". 

Hope this helps. 

Best regards,
Carly

All Streams are checked and have been from day 1

I am finding that if I go to Screen Saver "preview," I get a little better selection.  But it still seems to play the same ones over and over until I stop and restart.

Have not tried rebooting Roku yet.

Don't bother. It makes no difference.  Many of us on here, all with the same problem.  Roku is doing nothing about it. They just keep giving the same advice to everyone that we have all tried and reported does not work. Fyi I have discovered if you start a stream manually it will play the first 40 pics and then start over.

Many thanks!!

I have 229 photos in the stream and it shows 40 photos up to the see more icon.  I click on see more and they all show up but dont play in the stream. I reset it, deleted, readded it to no avail.
