Apple TV2 not showing imported iTunes match tracks

I have updated my Apple TV2 to the latest s/w version, but now it won't recognise my imported iTunes Match songs - only those downloaded from the store. Does anyone else have this problem (and an answer :-)

I believe I'm having the same issue. A few days ago I subscribed to iTunes Match with the goal of being able to listen to uploaded songs on my Apple TV2. I was particularly interested in songs that I didn't purchase from iTunes and aren't even available through iTunes.


My main iTunes library resides on an old Windows XP machine with iTunes 11.1. After subscribing on the XP machine, then turning on Match on my iphone 4S (iOS 7), I had access to my library on the iphone - including the uploaded songs.


I've turned on iTunes Match on the Apple TV but there's no sign of any songs from my library except those purchased through iTunes.


Any suggestions appreciated.

I found an old post about this issue (~2011) that said a "reset all" on the Apple TV solved the problem. I just tried that and it solved my issue. I can now access all my iTunes Match songs from the Apple TV, including the uploaded songs that weren't purchased from iTunes and are not available in the iTunes store.


Its a pain to re-enter wifi, home sharing and itunes credentials again, but it worked for me.
