The TV app is for consolidating supported streaming services (Apple TV channels) along with iTunes purchases. The library tab is for the latter. It will not give access to local content. On the Apple TV hardware this is done using the Computer app (which utilizes home sharing to stream content from the local iTunes library over the LAN).
