    Have my iTunes library shared. I can see TV shows through a tab in the Videos app on my ipad and it works fine. But I can't for the life of me find shared tv shows on my iPhone 4... Everything else is shared fine.

    Ideas?

    iPod app > More > Shared (select your shared library) > Videos.

    So Home Sharing is working on the iPhone, there's just no TV shows, is that right?

    In iTunes on your computer, find some of the tv shows in question. Bring up the Get Info window - is the artist field filled in?

    I just noticed that any of my tv shows that have the artist tag as blank aren't showing up on my iPhone, but they are on my iPad. Must be a bug. Try filling in something for the artist.

    Nah, I just noticed that some of my tv shows were missing and thought it was because they weren't properly labelled as tv programmes. There was already a problem in 4.2 related to the artist field being filled in, but it only affected the sorting of the tv shows.

    It's amazing the amount of bugs that Apple don't seem to notice. The repeat song bug is still there as well.
