Apple TV Can't Connect to my Itunes Library

When you open the Computers app on Apple TV, does it list the iTunes Library there by name, to connect to? I.e. is it found on the network?

When you open a track in the iTunes Library on the PC, does that play the intended media file? I.e. is the library database in good order with valid links?

I'm sorry you're experiencing this Kshemi. I've been having the same problem.

I have two Apple TV's, one is much older than the one I'm trying to connect to but I can't connect to either.

I have Windows 11 Pro on my desktop and the Microsoft Store has an issue where it won't let me update any of the apps I've downloaded. Windows, my BIOS and as many other drivers and firmware are as up to date as possible. My modem and router are from the cable company and they claim they update the firmware for those devices. I've had my own router and modem in the past that their website said was compatible but I believe they sent out a signal to fry them so I'd go back to paying rent on their equipment which is cheaper than shelling out $300 for a router every 6 months.

I used to have no problems connecting to the library on Windows 8 but since the upgrade to 10 it's been nothing but a nightmare, and not just with iTunes, but with browsers and anything non-MS.

The Library program on Apple TV isn't the same as the Computer program. The playlists it has access to are from several years ago. I have no idea why it can see recently downloaded songs but not update the playlists. That's the only reason I want to get into iTunes on Apple TV, is to play music on my 400 watt soundbar wile the 4K screensavers play.

I'm going to try changing my desktop Wi-Fi to a private network and restart my computer. That's supposed to make make it discoverable on the network for file sharing. That's under Network & Internet/Wi-Fi. If it doesn't work I'll switch back to Public which is recommended but it's the only thing I haven't tried yet.

Good luck!

I was talking to Apple support and he fixed it for me. I have a deco mesh system and whole house is Ethernet cable. He told me to turn on WiFi in windows 10 and select my deco system and it now works. He says I might have a bad Ethernet cable to my pc, which wasn’t the case. I hope it helps someone, it worked for me. Let me know if you’re someone who is helped by this. I can now click the computer icon on my Apple 4k tv and my library and videos/movies play.
