Apple TV is a streaming only device, with the storage only used for apps. If you don't want to use home sharing (which requires a computer being on) then you would need to use iCloud Photos and Apple Music (or iTunes Match if you just want to have your personal library available) so it can be streamed directly from the cloud.
