[michial]

Need help. Im running Yosemite and just downloaded the beta iTunes 12.0. Ever since then it removed the "Movies" in my homesharing library I stream to my apple tv's. I have the atv2 and 3. Neither show my movies.Now on my apple tv under "Computer" It only shows "Music" and "Photos"Someone please help. I have thousands of videos I stream regularly, up until an hour ago when I installed this lame update.

Can not confirm this, my two apple tvs show movies and tv shows. maybe restart everything once?

I tried that. Interesting thing is I deleted my music and now only photos show up so it must only show on the apple tv whatever is being shared. But I still have all the movies Ive always had in the movies"home videos" tab but they don't show up through sharing.

iTunes Movies don't appear on Apple TV

Yeah, me too. I've restarted everything 100 times... no luck. Let me know if you figure out a work around.

BTW... I have two iTunes Libraries connected to my AppleTV. The MBA still shows up (running Mavericks). The Mini (running Yosemite and iTunes 12) doesn't.

I can stream via AirPlay just fine. The library just doesn't show up on the AppleTV.

Ive been running Yosemite since the beta with no issues. It was the iTunes beta 12.0 yesterday that hid the home movies folder. I tried adding movies into iPhoto and that didn't work either.

If anyone finds a solution please let us know. Thanks

There's a fix. Select the movie you want to stream to AppleTV, right click, select Get Info, Select Options, Select Media Kind, change from Home Video to Movie. That's it. Fixed!

Here's the post from the one who solved it.
