Basic question about media Home Sharing

[jomama7366]

I am new to this. I want to stream files from my Mac Mini to my Apple TV. When I turn on Media Sharing in the Sharing mac prefs, it shows Library Name. Say I name it "My Library". The thing is, where is this library located on my mac, so I can add files to it?

Open the Music app or the TV app and add things there.

But where is this library that it asks me to name?

The ones currently used by those apps. Check Music and TV apps preferences for the actual location on disk.
The name you set in System Setting is the one shown to others computer on the network, not a name of a file on disk.

Ah, okay. I was beginning to wonder if that was the case. Thank you!
