family sharing apple tv
Looks like Apple has turned off family sharing on Apple TV (as in, if I upload a movie to Apple TV app on my Mac, it is NOT available on the Apple TV hardware attached to the TV). Anyone know why?

If you mean streaming local files, like home videos, Apple calls that Home Sharing, not Family Sharing (which is a different service).
One would access the home shared content through the Computers app on Apple TV box, not through the TV app on Apple TV box.

if it was me then I would verify that the appleID active on the appletv box was the same one which the movie was purchased with
