Cannot get Photos on AppleTV

I can see my Photostream on my Apple TV (4th Gen) and my son's Shared albums.

Music is OK, but no sign of Photos.

All s/w up to date.

2019 iMac, Catalina, Home Sharing selected.

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

I have just fixed it!

I had put a folder of 'iTunes Home Movies' as the first album in Photos, My Albums.

It was when I had a really long think as to the last thing I did before the problem occurred, that I remembered.

My excuse is that I had slept since doing it!

Make sure you are using the Computers app on Apple TV, the Photos app will only show photos that are in the Cloud. In Catalina Home Sharing is done through system preferences so make sure it has been set as well as 'share photos with Apple TV' and that the appropriate photos/albums have been selected.

The Mac would need to remain on in order to access that content over the local network.
