Home Sharing Not Working

I have two PC's attached to the same wi-fi network. Home Sharing is turned on, on both PC's. All my music is on one PC and I want to listen to this music when I work on my other PC. I open iTunes on the second PC and I select the library that is held on the other PC. Everything loads up (playlists, songs etc.) but I cannot get anything to play. If I select a Playlist it comes up with the name etc. but there is no music in there. If I select 'songs' instead of a Playlist, all the songs come up, but clicking on them or right clicking and saying 'play next' has no effect? Anyone help?

Windows, Windows 10

I have a similar problem, as noted in another post. I have everything setup on the same Wifi network. Home sharing is activated using the same Apple ID on both the Mac and my Apple TV. However, I can't share content between the Mac and the Apple TV or between the Mac and my iPad.
