Any suggestions to troubleshoot or fix?

Could it be that your home network has multiple SSIDs, e.g. separate for the 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band? If so, then devices on one SSID cannot communicate with devices on the other SSID, but both can communicate to the internet.

As a test, can you AirPlay from the Mac to the Apple TV? If so, then the connection itself is fine. If not, then the network connection needs further investigation.
Home Sharing should be turned on, on both the Apple TV and in the iTunes application (for macOS 10.14 and below), or System Preferences (for macOS 10.15), and also specifying the same Apple ID account for this service on both devices.

So I take that to mean it worked until recently. What has changed since?
I updated my OS to 10.14.6, and that solved the problem of accessing my computer from my TV via AppleTV. It did not solve the problem (?) of playing movies on my Mac to my TV via AppleTV. But, I'm not going to address that at this point, because I never use this feature.
I cannot AirPlay from my Mac to the Apple TV! I can AirPlay from my iPad to Apple TV. My internet connections are O.K.; both my Mac and AppleTV are on the same network.
All of a sudden, I cannot access my computer on my TV via Apple TV. Have assured Home Sharing is ON, Apple TV and computer on the same network, restarted computer and Apple TV. Any suggestions?
