Home Sharing Photos no longer works between PC and Apple TV 4

When I open the Computer App on my Apple TV, only my Music library and Home Video library show. When I click on the Photos tab, it says that no photo library is available. I have tried turning off and turning back on Home Sharing as well as deselecting and reselecting photo albums to share. I have also turned off the computer as well as the Apple TV, turned everything back on; logged back into my Apple account and turned Home Sharing backing on - with ZERO luck..... This issue just developed in the last week. Help

Windows, Windows 10

Hello kent960,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to help resolve the issue so you can view your photos from your Apple TV again.


Let's make sure you've already taken this step:

  • "On your PC: Open iTunes for Windows. In the menu bar, go to File > Home Sharing, then select Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV."

This Apple Support page has the full details: Use Home Sharing to share media from a computer to other devices - Apple Support

If the issue continues, do you have any pending software updates for your devices?


We hope this helps to get your photos sharing to your Apple TV as expected.

Cheers!

Already taken this step and like I said in my initial inquiry, this problem only just started recently. The issue is that even with Home Sharing turned on and my photo albums selected for sharing, when I open the Computer App on Apple TV and select Photos, the message I get says that no photos are available to view; whereas, both my music library and home video library populate immediately. Like I also said, I have already tried everything from going back in and unselecting photos from Home Sharing, then turning Home Sharing off, shutting down my PC and turning off my Apple TV, then turning everything back on, turning Home Sharing back on and reselecting photo albums to share... and still the same result with no photos showing on my Apple TV. Very frustrating and am thinking this may have started after installing the lates ITunes update.
