Home Sharing

So if you’re home sharing from Catalina, and I want to either listen to music, watch a movie, listen to a book or podcast, I have to have all those applications open on the iMac ?


I thought the sharing was separate now and so you just had to have the library attached (external drive) or am I misunderstanding ?

Sorry, keep forgetting they aren't the same. Found this: Use Home Sharing to share iTunes content with other devices on your home network.


And, yes, an app cannot be shared if it's not open.


My apologies for my previous dumb reply. Just not thinking, today.
