Not all albums from ITunes Match show up in AppleTV 4

I resently bought a new IMac. With my old IMac I used to play music trough my AppleTV and it worked fine. My new IMac has less storage so I must use ITunes Match. This works fine on my IMac, IPhone and IPad, but not all albums shows up on the AppleTV 4, does anyone know why? ( I don´t use Apple Music). I have seen from earlier questions that some has fixed this problem with removing the "sampled record"-button in the album info, but this is not the case for me.

Has anyone a suggestion?

See Identify cloud status icons in your music library on your Mac or PC - Apple Support. Can you see any common factors in the content that fails to show on the Apple TV?

What about other details such as kind? Will any of the tracks show if you search rather than browse? Is all the principal metadata completed, e.g. artist, album artist, album, track number and name? Are the items checked in the library?

I can´t see anything wrong withe the track-info or album-info. Another strange thing is the if I search for the songs from the album that is missing (on the AppleTV), they are found and will play. So I can play the songs, but I can´t find the album??

Ah, so some new information after all. Check to see if such tracks are marked as part of a compilation. If that isn't it use the Songs view and enable the Work and Grouping columns. Is there any pattern you can glean there? A while back a change to iTunes caused Work to inherit values previously stored in Grouping, and in some cases Apple's software on devices doesn't play nice when the Work value is populated.

There are big variation in if there are info in those columns (sort artist, album,artist) General it is nearly no info in these columns, and I don´t see a logic in albums that don´t show up in AppleTV and albums that show up.
