Q: Apple TV Home Sharing not working (Windows 10, iTunes 12.4.1.6)
I have two 3rd generation Apple TV's in my house and the home sharing used to work perfectly on it when streaming content from the copy of iTunes on my Windows 10 desktop computer. But ever since doing a clean install of Windows 10 this has not worked.
I have search online for the solution and have tried everything.... but nothing is working.
It is not the firewall on the computer or the router as disabling both makes no difference
Running iTunes in a different compatibility mode doesn't help
Changing the computers name doesn't do it...
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Airplay works perfectly, it's just home sharing that doesn't.
Thank you in advance

Ok, I was able to resolve the issue by uninstalling iTunes and installing an older version.
I downloaded iTunes version 12.2.1 from http://www.iphonefirmware.com/download-old-versions-of-itunes/#1440545766410-6db 4627e-e452
and now it is all working fine again.
This appears to be a weird issue with the latest iTunes and Windows 10.
But hey, it's working again! Now we can add this to one of the many possible solutions to this issue.
Hopefully Apple will resolve this soon, although I am unlikely to update this copy of iTunes again ;-)
