Apple TV (4th Gen) and iMac Home Sharing not workikng

I am trying to get my 4thGen Apple TV to recognize my (2011) iMac running 10.11. I have Home Sharing turned on in iTunes, Firewall open, and am using the same Apple userid for the TV and the MAC - - however on the "Computers" icon for AppleTV - it just says to turn on the feature on the computers. Should this icon (on the Apple TV) show the computers, files, etc.?


Thanks, B

AppleTV 2, tvOS 9.1
