Home Sharing on "TV App" only shows Purchased Items

I have an iPad Mini 2 and an iPhone 5s.

Both have the new "TV App" which replaced the "Video" app as of iOS 10 I suppose.


I have turned on Home Sharing on my computer, iPad, and iPhone all using the same apple id. I turned on Home Sharing on my devices under Settings>TV, AND under Settings>Music.


ALL my music shows up totally fine, however, I AM and iTunes Match subscriber.


So my problem is, under the new "TV app" on iPad and iPhone, only Purchased movies and tv shows are appearing!

Even after I open the TV app and select my shared library, only purchased shows up on iPad.

When I open "TV app" on iPhone and select my shared library, the loading circle shows up but it just spins and spins forever...


I also would like my books from my iTunes library to show up in the iBooks app but they're not.


I'm stuck using iTunes 12.2.2.25 on my black Macbook OS X 10.7.5 and it won't even recognize any of my devices ever since I made the mistake of upgrading my devices to iOS 10. I tried downgrading my phone a bunch of times and get an error message every time. The iPad came with iOS 10.


How can I get all my movies and books to show up on my devices?

iPad Mini, iOS 10.2, iPad Mini 2

Have you tried signing out of home sharing in settings/tv and then signing back in? This worked for me.
