Q: Apple TV home sharing photos

Has the functionality for home sharing changed? Up until late last year I was able to select albums within Photos to share with Apple TV by using the Home Sharing function in iTunes.

 

Now when I try to do this, I am unable to select the Photo's app, and consequentially can't choose the albums. Is there something I'm missing or did it change? This is a really basic feature of Apple TV so I can't imagine why it would be altered so hopefully I can be corrected.

AppleTV 2, iOS 9

    Greetings satters81,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    I understand that you would like to share photos with your Apple TV from Photos on your Mac. The menu to choose which photos or albums you share with your Apple TV is located in iTunes. The following article explains this process in more detail.

     

    Now you can use Home Sharing on your Apple TV: 

    • You can also view photos from your computer on your Apple TV: Open iTunes on your computer. Then go to File > Home Sharing > Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV.

     

    Use Home Sharing to share iTunes content with other devices - Apple Support

     

    Have a great day!
