When there is another Home Sharing library visible on the network the Library entry at the top of the side bar in the TV app should become a drop down menu. Click to show and select your remote library.

Thanks.. let me explain the scenario a little clearer.


  • My movies are on my iMac which runs home share
  • I have an Apple TV box connected to my TV that I enable homeshare and watch the movies streamed from my imac
  • I have laptops that I used to watch the movies streamed from the iMac until iTunes disappeared. Now I don't know how to stream video TO these laptops from the imac


Can you help me enable the TV app on the laptop to receive the video stream from the iMac.


Thanks!
