On the ATV the home videos show up in the Movies category. In the iTunes app on the Mac I am looking at this in the Movies section. I am not sure if it will work but I am going to check the ATV after I pull the plug to see if it sets things straight. No I don't use iTunes Match or Music.

Hi,

Are you looking at the titles in the Movies section on the ATV, or on the Computers, Your Computer, Movies section?  As far as I understand, the ATV uses it's own Library file as part of its iOS.  This will be integrated with the Cloud version if you have Apple Music or iTunes Match which use an iCloud Music Library.  That's all well and good, but when it comes to Movies and TV Shows, they are a slightly different animal as there isn't really a Cloud instance of the Library per se.  The iTunes media titles are assigned to your Apple ID and each local instance of iTunes deals with them in its own library database. You can make changes to the info locally and it probably won't affect it on a different instance.  Hope this makes some sort of sense.

Hi Tim,
  I am spinning my wheels on ice regarding iTunes. I booted High Sierra from its USB drive. It has iTunes version 12.8 (current is 12.9). I wanted to see if my home videos were there but the 12.8 will not read a database file created in the newer version.

  Any idea what or how Apple TV accesses iTunes content? Content from the iTunes store is fine, its just Home Videos. This is so weird because the list of Home Videos is different in both ATV and in the iTunes list inside the Movies section. An example is in one genre in iTunes there are 37 titles where in ATV its 41 which is correct. In ATV one genre is missing and the titles that should be in there are in a different genre but its correct in iTunes.

  Any thoughts on how to get all this in sync? I had tried moving the .itl file to see if it would be recreated but iTunes will not open without it. Thanks Tim!

Hi,
So, these are videos that you've ripped yourself that are not in the iTunes Library on your Mac?  I assume that this is when you're navigating from within the Computers section on the ATV?  Otherwise, there's no real reason for them to be exactly the same as Home videos are not stored in the Cloud.  This is also rather odd, as it is usually the other way around, where The Apple TV does not display all the titles that the Mac does.  Do you know which titles are missing?  Have you searched for them from within the Finder?

I found that what I see on my Apple TV does not match what I see in iTunes on the Mac. I see all of the content in the Home Videos folder, all of it on the Apple TV, but not all of it in iTunes on the Mac.   I tried launching iTunes while holding down the option key and choosing the library. No change. Then I moved the database file and repeating launching iTunes while holding down the option key and choosing the library. No go.
  What else can I try? Thanks.
