No Photos option under Computers on Apple TV 4 running 14.2

I used to be able to access photos on my iMac from my Apple TV 4 via the Computers option. Now, that selection only shows music and videos. I have Home Sharing turned on and have it set to share all my albums. I can see my photos using the Photos app on the Apple TV, but I assume those are coming from iCloud. I've turned home sharing off and on a few times, restarted my Apple TV but am not able to access photos via Computers like I did before. Granted, I haven't tried this in a while. I am running Big Sur on my 2020 iMac.

UPDATE! Just got off the phone with Apple support. Dan had me deselect both media and home sharing on my iMac then restart the computer. I went back in and enabled all the sharing again, then restarted a second time. He then had me go to the Apple TV and lo and behold, there was a Photos tab under Computers. It took a while but my photos finally populated the screen on the Apple TV and now it appears to be working like before. Thanks Apple Support!
