Simon, You should be good to go then. Whatever's in iTunes will play on the Apple TV. Go under Computers, to your computer, and AudioBooks should be in there. If the stars are aligned properly, and if you have your finger up your left nostril, then it should remember where you were between listening on an iPad or iPhone and the Apple TV, and even your Mac for that matter. It's not always perfect though.

The Home Sharing protocol is meant to share iTunes libraries, not simply a sharing protocol. So, if your iTunes library points to those AudioBooks on the NTFS drive already, then you should be fine. If you listen to those AudioBooks with a different media player than iTunes, you may not be successful. The writing back and forth is actually done within the iTunes Library files as it retains markers to remember where you've stopped in case you plan to listen from a different device etc. HTH.

Just checking this as I’m thinking about doing this but wasn’t sure if my tv would give me the books via home sharing. Also, will the home sharing setup on the apple tv or iPhone etc deal with the audio books being housed on an NTFS partition?

There's info at https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT202190 <https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT202190> that can help with the iPad as it appears that the process is slightly different. I tested things today on my iPhone and connecting to the Library on my MBP and it worked fine. It took a little while to load the iTunes Library from the MBP, but after it was loaded, things were pretty snappy. HTH. Later...

Because there is not enough space on either iPhone or iPad, I want to use this feature to listen to some content stored on the Mac. In the Music app on the iPhone, when the library tab is selected, I get a dialog asking, "Looking for music?" I do not use Apple Music and I do not have any of my music on the iPhone. I cannot get rid of this dialog. Earlier in the day, I did not have this issue. During that session, I saw my Home Videos in the Music app. Why there and not in the TV app? I also was looking for my audiobooks. Is there a genre table? Could not find that. Thanks for any help. >From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.
