Family sharing and movies

[Carlanga]

I have two adults on my iCloud family share, I have it ticked "share my purchases with my family", but I can't see none of my movies on their devices. We are talking about 250 iTunes movies that I own... Their devices are running iOS 11.

For them to see your purchases, go to iTunes Store.. select Purchased.. you should be able to see family purchases from there

That is no problem in the App Store for apps but I want them to see my movies on the tv app so they can play whatever they wish.

i dont remember all the steps off the top of my head, i think you have to do it via the "movies" section instead of the "TV" app... ill double check when i get home

Thanks, but I don’t think the videos app exists after they updated the tv app to d the same.
Lmk how you did it when you have the time! Thanks!

Are you testing on an iOS device or the Apple TV? On iOS they have to go via the Apple store and download whatever movie they want to see. If on an Apple TV , they will have to go via the “Movies” app and then they will see family purchases

It’s a real PITA frankly. My dad is mostly using the Movies Anywhere app now, granted not all are supported yet.

That is what I was thinking I could do, did you just sign in using your account?
