Q: "Offline" music on AppleTV

I've added music to a playlist on my iMac which I downloaded through the "make available offline" function in iTunes.  It plays fine on my phone and on iMac, including when added to a playlist.  But if I choose that same playlist through the "Computers" app on appleTV (OS 7.2), that song will not show up.  Family Sharing is turned on vis iOS, and I'm logged in to the same account in the AppleTV.  "Share my purchases" is also turned on.  Anyone have an idea on why this is?

    I imagine it just a feature of the way that protected Apple Music content is managed.

    You can probably play the content in iTunes and select the Apple TV for audio output.

    You may be able to select and stream the track within the Apple TV's Music app.

    (I let my Apple Music sub go and I'm not near my ATV to check details)
