    Hello AMK30322,

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    I understand that you would like to utilize Home Sharing to share content, video in this case, to another iTunes library on a different computer, but do not see the option to import. For information on how to import content using Home Sharing, I would recommend working thorough the steps in the attached article below.

    I have successfully used home sharing for many months.  This issue started after update to windows 10 on one computer.  The computer that windows 10 computer  is homesharing with is a windows 8.1.  When I view the windows 10 itunes library on the windows 8.1 computer there are errors.  The import function is missing and I am unable to watch any movie on the 8.1 computer that is sharing the library from the windows 10 computer.  So there is 2 issues,

     

    1  the import function is missing from the shared library on windows 8.1 computer.

     

    2 I am unable to watch any movies from the shared library on the windows 8.1 computer movies will not openup or start.

       Also the Music library works perfectly.

     

    I spoke to Apple support and they say Itunes is working perfectly it is a windows 10 problem.  I was hoping for some suggestions as to what to do next. I also read in Microsoft community that Windows 10 in not compatible with Itunes and then I read that it is compatible.  I uninstalled Itunes on both computers and reinstalled Itunes, still the same issues.
