Photo Stream Limits don't make sense
I have 1700+ pictures in a Google Album linked to Photo streams.
Similar to some others, I've discovered a limit of 100 pictures on a Roku Photo Stream and see the same 100 pictures over and over.
The stock answer from Roku moderators is that: "You can upload up to 100 photos to each stream in JPG, PNG, HEIC, and WEBP formats. However, a stream may not allow 100 photos if the storage limit for the Roku account has been exceeded."
I have some questions.
- What is the exact storage limit (in MB, GB or TB) for an account?
- How do I see what amount of that storage limit is being used?
- What is the purpose of limiting each photo stream to 100 pictures?
I saw a workaround suggesting that the large album be split into separate albums and linked to Photo Streams. So instead of 1 big library, create albums with 100 pictures each in them and link those to Photo Streams. While this works, what is the point of the 100 picture limit?
All this approach accomplishes is forcing users to have a more cluttered photo source.
Could you please raise the Photo Stream limit to something significantly larger (100x+) to eliminate this dumbness.

Re: Photo Stream Limits don't make sense
The "showing (most recent) 100 photos only" bug has been around for the past two weeks. The stock answer is outdated and based on the original limit, which as since been upgraded to 1000 photos per stream (max. 10 streams).
Unfortunately, Roku has never said what exactly is the total size limit, much less display a meter, though 15 MB is the max file size. Their wording is a little odd, too.
Mine are all on Roku directly, so I'm not privy to how different Google linking is, but I hope the above is of some use.

Re: Photo Stream Limits don't make sense
Thanks. You supplied the answer I was looking for. Total streams allowed. You said max 10 streams in your reply to OP.
