Unable to find "Home Video Section" Album after the new update

I had a few movies I had created that were on my iPhone and iPad that were found under a home video section. Now that field and all the videos have disappeared on the devices since updating to 17.4. When I go into About in System Settings it shows zero. There is no equivalent in the Mac either

Thought they might have been shifted to Photos, but no luck.

What are the options?

The videos are still stored on my Mac so are not lost but want to get them back on my devices.

Problem solved.

The videos were not showing on the Mac, so I dug out a hint I had used before when had issues with Catalina and loaded the videos into TV on the Mac. The "automatically include" option had to be checked again for all. Synced both devices and all is restored. The Home Video option is now showing as is number of videos in Sys Settings under About.

Sonoma 14.4 strikes again!!!!!!!

I have this problem too but not certain about your fix. I have many home videos stored in iCloud and the link is broken to the Apple TV ap. I don't want to move all these around but keep them in iCloud. Why has the link and Home Movies category broke since the MacOS update...
