Home made iMovie Videos saved in Music not showing up in My Apple TV Music Playlists

I have created iMovie vacation videos and saved them in my MAC Music running mac Monterey 12.7.5 (example Switzerland 2023 and Yellowstone 2024. When viewing the Playlist on Apple TV music home Library only the music playlists appear. Is there a way to view these videos on my TV other than screen mirroring from my MAC to the Apple TV?


iMac 27″, macOS 12.7

Thank-you, I found them listed on my Apple TV under Computer/Music/ Playlists rather than the Music tab. Funny they show up on my phone under Home Sharing/Playlists. Thanks again!

Home Videos may appear in a different section than expected for Home Sharing.

Navigate around in the Computers app on Apple TV. If not in Music, they may appear in the Home Videos section. It has to do with tagging. The ‘Kind’ or ‘Media Kind’ tag sets in which tab content will appear: Movie, TV Show, Home Video, Music, Music Video (intended for promotional video performances per track), Audio Book, Podcast, etc. Untagged videos will be treated as Home Video.

On Mac, the Library items may switch around fluidly between the TV app and the Music app (it is one library, on a database level), and only show “where they belong” according to Apple, e.g. from tagging or lack thereof.
