No playlists show in Itunes Match on ATV

I have got all my music on iTunes Match and everything works well on iPad, Macbook Pro, Mac Mini and 2 iPhones - i.e. songs, playlists album art etc. But on the ATV no playlists appear. Am I missing a step or a link somewhere - cannot see anything that would help. Latest software on all devices. Restarted to no avail. Only 3 playlists appear - 90's music, Classical Music and Recently Used - none of which are user-created. There is also an empty Genius Playlist heading. Genius playlists appear on my other devices as do the dozen or so playlists I have created.


Any help much appreciated....

Hello RossPolson,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


The Apple TV itself does not have iTunes Match. iTunes Match is only for iOS devices iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. If you want to see your iTunes Library's content on your Apple TV, you will need to enable Home Sharing as is outlined in the article below.

Take care,

Alex H's post is not accurate.


To enable iTunes Match on Apple TV, go to settings, general, itunes store and enable iTunes Match. Under heading Music, you will see icloud library which you click on to configure.


If you try signing out of iTunes Store then back in and go through the process of setting up again, you may find that this resolves your problem.
