Cannot add new Home Movies to Home Movies library in i-tunes for Windows

I have a number of home movies that I am trying to add to the Home Movies library in my Windows 10 I-tunes app. I've done it before, and can then play them on my apple tv devices in another room.


However, now when I try to add a file to the Home Videos library, the dialog box opens and allows me to select a file, but the file never gets added to the library. I have tried adding files with extensions of .mp4 and also .mov, but I cannot get the new movie files to appear in the library.


Windows, Windows 10

iTunes doesn't support all video formats, and it may reject a file with the wrong extension. You can drop a copy of your file into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder inside your media folder. If acceptable it will be added to the library, otherwise it gets moved to a Not Added folder. Doesn't tell you what the issue is but at least confirms there is one. I use Plex for videos that iTunes cannot handle. VLC is good too.
