How do I get Apple TV to show iTunes Video playlists

Hi

I have the new Apple TV and can play home videos from iTunes using the home video tab.

My videos are arranged in Playlists but the playlists do not appear which leaves me with just a long list of videos.

Is there any setting that will enable these playlists on Apple TV.

I understand under the old 3rd Generation Apple TV you could go into the Apple TV settings>audio & video>show playlists and toggle the "show playlists" option from "music only" to "All" but I cannot find the "show playlists" option in the settings for the new playlist.

I have iTunes 12.3.2.35 and OS 10.11.1

Hi Winston

Many thanks for your speedy reply - much appreciated. Playlists now displaying properly.

Apple Senior Advisor told me that the facility was lost on the new Apple TV but would likely be re-instated.

Kind regards,

Eric

To be honest, I've never had anything other than excellent telephone support but some her have posted otherwise. I guess there can be a bit of luck involved with who one gets. 😎
