You can’t. Accessing Home Sharing content through the Apple TV app is limited to the iOS version of the app. Accessing Home Sharing content on an Apple TV set-top box is done through the Computers app. Apple Home Sharing isn’t natively available on smart TVs. The Apple TV set-top box offers more features than the Apple TV app alone.
