Photos disappeared from Apple TV computer app

I have a 4k Apple TV TVOS17.2 and a M3 iMac MacOS14.2.1. I used to be able to view photos stored on my iMac from the computer app on Apple TV. Recently that option disappeared from the Apple TV computer app, I can now only view TV shows, movies, music, and home videos. I also used to use photos from my iMac as the screen saver on my Apple TV. Home Sharing is still working because I can still view videos stored on my iMac on the Apple TV. I think the MacOS update from 14.2 to 14.2.1 broke this functionality but I'm not positive. I don't keep my photos in iCloud.

Anyone else have this issue or have a suggestion to get this feature back?

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

Update: On my iMac I turned Home sharing for photos off and then back on. Photos from my iMac now show on my Apple TV. Hope that may help someone else. This explains how to do it. View photos from your Mac on Apple TV - Apple Support
