iTunes Movies library location

I recently converted my original iTunes to the new and separate Music and TV apps. I'm very confused as to where the Library Files are stored. I'm trying to create a second library for Movies in the TV app and not sure how to do it. I'd like to have 2 choices for selecting a Library when I open the "Computers" icon on my AppleTV. Is this even possible? I have some files that I'd like to keep out of the main file library, yet still be able to select that library if I choose. I would name one library "Movies" and the other library "Delete All Files" just to throw off unauthorized snoopers. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any input.

Take a look at Managing your Mac media libraries - Apple Community for some background, and see Use multiple libraries in the Apple TV app on Mac - Apple Support for advice on creating multiple libraries. If I recall correctly you can have your main library available via Home Sharing which appears under the Computers icon on Apple TV, even when TV isn't running. You can option-start-TV to connect to the other library when you wish. Offhand cannot recall if that is going to show up on Apple TV or not, but I don't think it will. You may be able to update which library is shared from the sharing panel in preferences. You cannot have one computer serve up two different libraries at the same time.
