Any way to use AirPlay, instead of Screen Share, to an Apple TV?

Unfortunately, the current app uses the iOS Share Screen API instead of the AirPlay API to send the photo feed to an Apple TV. Because of this, we can't automate the app.
iOS Shortcuts, the first-party tool to automate iOS apps, only allows AirPlay to be triggered. Share Screen, presumably for security restrictions, can't be triggered.
Or is there another way to automate Soloslides to send the photo feed to the Apple TV, say, every morning at 6AM? If not, I'd love to put AirPlay compatibility in as a feature request. With AirPlay, we'd be able to automate the app & it'd be a great way to wake up to see your photos scrolling through in the living room TV, instead of on the small iPad screen alone.
That is, today with iOS Shortcuts, you can only trigger Soloslides to open. We'd love if we could also trigger Soloslides to begin broadcasting to the Apple TV, via iOS Shortcuts.
We love the app otherwise; clean, simple, just enough feature, and well worth the purchase!
