I have been searching for a way to access my home music library from music after completing the ios 8.4 update. Any way to connect now? The option seems to be missing.

    A Few things worth checking.

    Check both devices are on the same wi-fi network, I have a guest network and my main network.

    Check your Apple ids match on computer and device, when I upgraded to iOS 9 it inserted my iCloud id rather than my iTunes id.

    A few tricks from the past, restart both computer and device.

    If that fails log out and back into home sharing on both devices.

    PITA I know and should not have to be done but they usually worked.

     

    I was hoping for a revamped system but it looks like we just have the old system back.

    I have the same problem as yours, now I have managed to solve it by reboot the router (which in case is the Apple Extreme connected to the router).

     

    Good luck

    Many of us use iTunes to manage all of our digital music. Personally, I don't buy much of anything from Apple. Listening to low-res, lossless files is not my thing. I use Home Sharing to listen to music that I OWN, such as CD's, that I have imported into iTunes. Luckily I only upgraded to iOS 8.4 on my iPhone, so I can still use my iPads with Home Sharing to stream lossless music files from my NAS. I use the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter to connect to my DAC or the more portable Nu Force ICON iDo DAC/amp, both of which bypass the inferior DAC built into my Apple portable devices.

    I found a partial solution. It's called Younity and it's free. Download and install the program on your computer (younity.com/twit). Then download the app on your iOS device. You can stream any file installed on the desktop computer (not network volumes) and view, play, etc with the app. Right now I am streaming hi-res music installed on my home computer from my iPhone 6 at work (iOS 9.0.1).
