iTunes in Apple TV now requires Home sharing to work? I was able to listen my music without it

I was able to use my Itunes music in Apple TV without computer, without home sharing, since a few days ago I needed to turn on home sharing just for listen the music I own and it is in my clouds?

Several users of the Apple TV (3rd generation) [A1427 or A1469] now report that (some) iCloud services have become unaccessible lately for this model. Home Sharing should continue to work with this model, as that doesn’t involve iCloud. As the 3rd generation model is a 2012-2013 design, it may be time to think about a successor model. The current models have much more functionality, and support for years to come.

The Music app on Apple TV HD (4th generation) [A1625] or later would support music from online sources: Apple Music subscription, iTunes Match subscription, and iTunes Music Store purchased tracks and albums — for the currently active Apple ID account on that device.


For music files on a networked computer (Mac or PC) in its iTunes Library or Music app Library, you could use Home Sharing and the Computers app instead.


For music on a Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or PC, you could use AirPlay to stream through your local home network, to e.g. an Apple TV box.
