Steam library sharing

[Adelnon]

So recently I (Germany, Windows) and my friend (USA, Mac) shared each other games to the other one. For my friend in the USA it worked perfectly fine but not for me. My friend has none of here games installed and they don't show up for me. Sometime after that my friend purchased a game and that one is showing up. Any help on how to get the other games to show up too? (Currently we're both logged in with both accounts on both devices)

The old Steam Family Sharing works from different Steam store countries while the new Steam Families beta does not.

Which games aren't showing up? Not all games can be shared in either system.

Pretty much all the ones my friend owns: Discord Bot Maker, Emily is Away, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, GTA V, Hello Neighbor Alpha 3, Ultimate Custom Night, VRChat, Wallpaper Engine
The only one showing up in my library is 911 Operator which my friend just recently acquired after the trying to get sharing to work thing.
