Home sharing on Catalina not working

Home sharing on Catalina is not working. I have clicked "Home Sharing" under "Media Sharing" in settings > sharing. I get prompted for my Apple ID password to create the home share. I fill it in and press enter. Home sharing is not turned on and I get no error message.

This worked for me:

Go into the new Music or TV app and select from the menu drop down "Account/Authorizations/Authorize this Computer". Provide you password etc. Once completed go back in sharing and enable media sharing/home sharing.
