For accessing libraries on your Mac from Apple TV, use Home Sharing and the Computers app.
Photo sharing needs its own configuration.
Music Home Sharing is for compatible non-DRM local media files only (i.e. not Apple Music/iTunes Match subscription content).
What is your version macOS? Configuration is different for macOS 10.15 or later vs. macOS 10.14 or earlier.

Unless someone else chimes in with a different idea, I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/email/callback).
Thank you,
Everything appears to be set ok but still not connecting, thanks again for trying...
