I can't access home sharing photos

Hello gsjones,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand you're unable to access photos with Home Sharing on your Apple TV. We'll be happy to help.

We recommend to verify and ensure that Home Sharing is set up correctly by following these steps: Use Home Sharing to share media from a computer to other devices

If that doesn't help, please let us know if an error message appears. That way we can review this issue further for you.

Best regards.

A source for sharing photos has to be set separately. On Catalina or later, that is in System Preferences﹥Sharing﹥Media Sharing﹥Home Sharing﹥☑︎ Share photos with Apple TV﹥Choose…

On Apple TV, the shared content can be accessed through the Computers app, then the Photos tab.
