On the Apple TV box, the Home Sharing video content can be accessed through the Computers app, not the Apple TV app.

iPad Apple TV sidebar missing "Home Videos" and "Downloads" My Apple TV sidebar "Home Videos" and "Downloads" have disappeared from my iPad Pro 12.9" 5th gen ver 16.5. I tried adding a video from my iMac which failed, backed up the iPad, and now neither of the two sidebar option appear. There are the other sidebar options TV, Store, and Library appear as normal. However Library sub-options have "Recent Purchases", "Movies", "TV Shows" and "Genres", but here is no "Home Video" nor "Downloaded" tabs in that Apple TV app. Additionally, iTunes will still not allow a download to the connected iPad via the usual drag and drop. There appears a dearth of information on this topic. What gives and how can this situation be rectified? Annoying.

Home Videos on Apple TV Where can I save my home videos that they will be accessible to my Apple TV. It keeps saying that there's no Library, but I had previously been able to see home videos through Apple TV.

If you are unsuccessful with the Computers app on the ATV note that another user is also having difficulty accessing home videos:

If this is the case I suspect it is a bug with Catalina/Big Sur providing Homesharing and you should consider submitting feedback to Apple
