I bought a new Mac mini with big Sur OS. It comes with the Apple TV app instead of iTunes. I have over 300 DVDs and Blu-Rays downloaded into iTunes. I have imported them into the new tv app but how can I watch them on my smart TVs? The library on the app only shows movie bought from apple.
Mac mini, macOS 11.1

Hi G-music89,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you've imported your previous media files to the TV app, but aren't able to locate them to play them, correct? If so, we would love to help see if we can get the issue resolved for you. Let's go ahead and follow the steps we've linked for you below to make sure the files were imported correctly.

Where’s my iTunes content on my Mac?
Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We're always happy to help.
Cheers!
The TVapp on the Mac mini plays the movies fine. With iTunes you had home sharing so with the AppleTV I could watch any of my movies on any of my TVs. I can’t seem to find the equivalent on the TVapp.
