Where's the AppleTV subsection?

I'm having trouble with one of my AppleTVs - all of my devices, wired or wireless, can see my wired Family Room AppleTV for AirPlay. But none of them show the option to use my wifi Bedroom AppleTV. Both AppleTVs are fully updated. All devices are able to ping both AppleTVs. The Bedroom AppleTV can play content from the iMac, but whenever I open up AirPlay, the Bedroom AppleTV is never shows as an option.
Most of the searches I did turned up people that couldn't see the AirPlay icon on their computer/phone, which isn't my issue. There were a couple people that seemed to have the same issue, but their questions went unanswered.
Any thoughts?

What's your Wi-Fi configuration? Is it possible you're on double-NAT? Is your wireless network on a different subnet than the wired one (e.g., 192.168.1.1 versus 192.168.0.1)?

Same subnet. If I disconnect my iMac from its ethernet connection and connect via wireless, I can still only see the wired Family Room AppleTV. And everything can ping the Bedroom, but it doesn't show up for me in AirPlay.

AppleTV falls in Consumer Hardware, assuming a hardware issue. A software issue might go in iDevices, since the modern AppleTVs run iOS. Your issue could be networking- or OS-related.

Hence my confusion. If I knew which part of the system the bug was in, I could put it in the proper subsection. Of course, all of that was a farce to excuse my putting this in the Lounge.

Have you tried a settings reset? Can the AppleTV load content from its internal channels?

I haven't tried a settings reset. The AppleTV can play Netflix and YouTube content just fine.

Did it ever work? Have you tried ethernet for the non working device (perhaps your router is blocking bonjour on wifi clients but not wired.) Are you using an airport router?
If all else fails, try this on the Mac:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

I pulled the ethernet from the working Family Room ATV so that it had to use wifi and I was still able to see it from my other devices in AirPlay. Maybe I'll bring the non-working ATV down here so I can connect it to ethernet and see what's up.

Tried a Network Test while hooked up to ethernet. Couldn't communicate with Apple. I'm doing a full restore to see if that improves anything.

Did a clean restore and setup, works now. Don't know why I didn't try that first.
