Apple TV repeatedly crashes when playing music via homesharing

"Apple TV repeatedly crashes when playing music via homesharing: Hello. Recently got a new 4K Apple TV. In the last couple of days, when I try to use the Computers app to play music from my iMac via Homesharing, it plays for only a few seconds before it stops and resets to the home screen. All software is up to date. I've tried restarting, restoring, nothing works. Worked fine for a couple weeks; this crashing problem started just a couple of days ago. Has anyone else experienced this?"

Restart the Router:

This often happens to me when streaming content. Far too much network traffic is going through, not necessarily from your side.

So, as I do,...

I. Restart the router:

1. Unplug: your Router
2. Wait: 30 Seconds
3. Power Up: your Router

Then...

II. Restart the Apple TV:

1. Unplug: your Apple TV
2. Wait: 30 Seconds
3. Power Up: your Apple TV

Then...

III. Try this All Once More:

That will indicate an issue with the connection.

If on wifi try ethernet

To see a current status of the network get a report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks

If it is something occurring regularly then it has to do with the connection and a restart is merely a temporary measure.
