    Hi. When you enable Home Sharing on ATV, you specify the Apple ID. You can then see libraries shared with that Apple ID. If you change the Home Sharing Apple ID on ATV, you can see the other library. It's not very convenient, since you must enter the ID and password each time, but it will work. You can use one of the iOS Remote apps to access a keyboard to make data entry a bit easier. What is your ATV version, see Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support?

    My model is A1469

     

    I have tried to add an apple id and then change to it. But still it is on the Library on my iMac

    The libraries is on two different macs connected to the same wifi , two different apple id - one on imac and one on the macbook

    I thougth changing apple id also would bring me to the library to that apple id.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    You have to log out of home sharing (on ATV) and then sign in with the other Apple ID.
