Screensaver downgraded aspect ratio on photos from 16:9 to 4:3.

both my Apple TV HD and 4k updated to TvOS 26 this past week. I have always used one of my picture albums as the screensaver on both tvs (different album for each tv). I noticed after the update that once the screensaver had opened, the aspect ratio on most of my pics has been downgraded from 16:9 to 4:3. I take my photos at 16:9 so it fills the screen. Now, they don’t and there’s no way to change them back. This issue is super frustrating. Please help.

Apple TV (3rd generation)

Update: I’ve noticed that not only have the 16:9 photos been downgraded to 4:3, but also any edited photos I’ve made have been reverted back to the original. I’ve noticed some photos have been rotated back to vertical instead of horizontal. I’ve noticed the color gradients have been changed back to the original on some photos. I’ve noticed some filters have been removed on some photos as well. Has anyone found a work around or a solution? Has anyone else had this same problem?
