Home movies/iTunes/Apple TV

Need help to get home movies showing up on a smart TV with Apple TV app. Just got an LG TV with built in Apple TV app. Unlike the old separate Apple TV, where my home movies in iTunes appeared under "Computers", I cannot find a "Computers" menu on built in Apple TV - just a single menu. "Movies" is an option, but this shows only purchased Apple movies, not my own own movies which are in iTunes movies on my computer.

Unfortunately, Home Sharing is not supported on third party devices with the Apple TV app.

You may be able to stream via AirPlay using iTunes on the computer (push instead of pull).

Thanks. I eventually discovered this, and have now got Airplay2 to work with a bit of a struggle. It is not available on older computers, which cannot install Mojave. I had to find a newer computer with Mojave to get it to work, and even then had to search online until I found a YouTube clip telling me to ensure Airplay2 was set (System Preferences>Displays>Mirroring> choose Airplay2. Quite cunningly hidden! Couldn't find anything about this on Apple Support. If it is there, it is well hidden too.
