Hi, I can't see the movies I've purchased with my apple ID on my wife's ipad - while family sharing is activated and my wife is part of my family (obviously)

well... how can I see movies I've purchased with my apple ID on the devices of my family members - as I have activated Family Sharing... ?

most articles I've read talk about sharing music etc... or movies with an apple TV.

but not about sharing movies purchased on Apple TV with the iOS devices of my family members.

it simply does not work :-(

Family Sharing has a separate option for purchase sharing. If the organizer has not set purchase sharing on, then you can’t see each other’s movie purchases on your own account.

Family purchases and payments - Apple Support

If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support

What types of content can I share with my family? - Apple Support

Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Unfortunately, Family sharing is already active and we are all in the same "country" store. Payment sharing is activated as well, with a valid credit card number. I do see all members of my family in e.g. "Find My" or simply in the settings where they are declared.
