Steam Family game is showing up in the wrong library.
Hi, so I just set up Steam Family for my little brother so he can play my games. The problem is that the game he wanted to play is not showing up in my library on his computer, instead it's showing up in his library even though he doesn't own the game. I know the game can be shared through Steam Family, since I've looked it up and found several people talking about it and having it work.

So as I said, the game is showing up in his Library even though he doesn't own it, and I do. When he clicks on the library icon it takes him straight to the store, and if we try right clicking the icon to press play the only option that shows up is "Purchase..."

If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Okay so I tried it again, I logged out of both accounts. Uninstalled the game in question and re-logged in to both accounts. The game is showing up in my original account, but it is not showing up on my brothers account. Again, I know this game is supported by Steam Family because others have done it. So why isn't it showing up in the shared library?

You did set Steam Family Sharing up by going to [Steam > Settings > Family], first clicking the [Authorize this computer] -button and then ticking your brother's Steam -account from the list below as eligible?
