Homesharing on Apple TV 4 and Mac not working

When I try to watch a home video on Apple TV from the computer icon the only thing that shows is a partial music library. Homesharing is on, nothing has changed except the updates to the Mac and Apple TV. I have no Library for music, downloaded movies or home videos.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14

To troubleshoot try changing the video type from Home Movie to Movie on the Mac and see if the ATV finds it. In Mojave this is done via ITunes by choosing Get Info when right-clicking on the video. Not sure about Catalina/Big Sur.

As it happens I always change my home videos to Movie or TV Show and have not encountered your issue.
