Apple TV Not Functioning With Home Sharing From PC Using Bluetooth

Home sharing is turned on for both Itunes and my Apple TV, yet Apple TV is not accepting any content on my PC. It however, shows You Tube content. I am using the same WiFi for both. When going to Bluetooth on the PC and Apple TV , neither of these apps(PC and Apple TV) are shown as a device. Who can help and what can I do next?

Apple TV HD, tvOS 18

Why did my Apple TV Home Sharing stop working? I have the 4th gen A1625 apple tv and a 3rd gen 4k apple tv. I have itunes on a Windows 11 PC, and while I had occasional blips in Homesharing from itunes in the past, it's never just outright stopped working before and refused to function no matter what I've tried So far I have - Restarted both my laptop and the apple tv - Logged out and logged back into all devices - Turned homesharing on and off again on my itunes and on my appletv - ensured itunes and appletv software are both up to date - installed apple TV app with media library loaded into that instead per the apple site directions [Re-Titled by Moderator] - uninstalled and reinstalled itunes - switched wifi/reset router - factory reset appletv and repeated all of the above I'm at a loss of where to go from here, and pretty much the only thing I use my apple tv for is to be able to stream from my itunes library to my TV, so it's a bit out of the count until I can figure out how to fix it. Any advice would be appreciated!

Home Sharing issue with iPad Air 5th Gen I have a MBP (2016) with Monterey 12.7.6 which I loaded movies on. I turned on Home Sharing, and was able to access the library from my Apple TV Then I was able to access the library on my new iPhone 16 Pro with 18.2 But then I tried to do the same with my new iPad Air (5th Gen) with 18.2, go to the TV app, and go to Home Sharing, it says "Failed to connect." All devices are signed in with same ID, all on same WiFi. What am I missing? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Devices are not connecting to home sharing I have an iPhone, Mac air, Apple TV, and iPad. All of the devices are logged in on the same account, all are on the same wifi, all are updated, all have been restarted, and the Apple TV has also been reset. Yet, on the Apple TV and iPhone it tells me that there are no libraries available, but on the Mac and iPad I can open the home sharing library and find the files that are there. So what do I do?
