Missing music in ITunes on Apple 4K tv

All of the music in my iTunes library doesn't show up on my Apple tv. Does it autosync? Is it only showing music in the cloud?

The Music app on tvOS can be used in combination with an Apple Music subscription (and iCloud Music Library). Without a subscription, it will only show iTunes Store purchases on your account.

It will only show music from the cloud.


To play music from a computer’s iTunes Library (non-iCloud), use Home Sharing instead. Then use the Computers app on Apple TV to connect to an iTunes Library on your home network. The Computers app has a Music tab to navigate just the music in your iTunes Library by playlist/artist/album/song/etc.
