Q: Why has Home Sharing suddenly switched to only allowing iPhotos to show. I have been using Photos for several months to share on my Apple TV.

I use Apple TV (3rd generation) to exhibit photos for my art work. I use the Photos app and do not use iPhoto.

My photos are organized in Photos in special albums. For the past five months I can select Photos when I turn on Home Sharing.

Now my only option is iPhotos. I need to use the albums from Photos.

How can I change the iPhotos option to Photos?

I have rebooted Home Sharing several times.

My  software is up to date to iOS 9.2

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), iOS 8.4

    One more thing that worked for me tonight to try.  Under the File Menu for Home Sharing, there is another selection to choose the photos to share with the

    Apple TV.  It was defaulted on iPhotos Library, but can be changed to the Photos Library.  Then relaunch iTunes.  I turned off Home Sharing and then turned it back on and Photos using the Photos Library finally showed up.
