Own converted 4K movies still won't appear on AppleTV in the 'my computer' section.

Running macOS Sonoma beta
AppleTV beta - tvOS17 beta

A 4K converted movies meta-tagged as HD will appear in the Movies section of "my computer'
The moment its tagged as 4K the movie disappears from the Movie section.

The file still appears in TV.app on the Mac regardless of the tag.

I would have thought after a couple of years this would have been fixed. 🙁
 
This is on Apple (to fix). Nothing else can be done. For now, tag it HD and perhaps put "4K" as the first 2 chars in the description.

Apple can go years without fixing things that seem obvious, especially on "the hobby."

I created a Genre called 4K and tag them as 1080p (fullHD) videos.
That way tvOS will show them.
Unless video is in Dolby Vision.
Then it is no go. Only Plex or Infuse clients can show them.
