video playlist app tv not present nor on iphone

Hello,

i have imported a bunch of videos in the app tv on the mac and created a number of video playlists.

2 questions please:

1- i see clearly my videos on my iphone in the tv app in my personal library BUT not the playlist

2- on the apple tv, i don’t see the videos at all. Not the video playlists.

is that a missing functionality or is there a solution please?

Thank you.

The playlist is local to the device. The Mac library can be seen on the iPhone through Home Sharing, but not video playlists themselves.
The Apple TV app on the Apple TV box doesn’t do playlists nor Home Sharing. Home Sharing on Apple TV is done through the Computers app. The Computers app does see (video) playlists.

I would recommend Home Sharing with the video library on the Mac, and then controlling selection and playback on the Apple TV box through the Computers app. That is how I play video files at home.

I might use screen mirroring primarily for internet streaming when apps exist for iPhone or iPad, but not for Apple TV.
