Has Apple removed Home Movies from iPadOS 18.3.1 Home Sharing?

I used to be able to see home movies on my iPad through Home Sharing. Now when I try to play home movies, the title poster appears on the "TV Shows" screen, but the actual title shows empty when opened. (I had changed Media Kind to TV Show on the Home Sharing server) Elsewhere a commenter seemed to indicate that the only way to see home movies was to synch it to the iPad. How do I transfer home movies from MacBoo… - Apple Community

There are literally thousands of posts on this topic. I'm hoping someone has solved this.

I answered myself in another thread, but the solution seems to be to change the media kind to "movie" through getting info on the server TV app. This is cumbersome, as it means you will need to combine all your transfer-from-VHS to digital series episodes into one movie, instead of separate series episodes.
