streaming server cannot accept any more connections at this time

I have an iMac and laptop and home share the libraries. On the iMac I have several OTA radio stations in a playlist. I can access them fine on the iMac, but when attempting to play them on the laptop, I get "the streaming server cannot accept any more connections at this time".


Is there a fix ...?

Thank you for the reply Charles Hess!


Has this worked in the past for you? If so, was anything updated or changed when this started occurring?


Since this is occurring with specific content, try removing the content form your library and re-adding it.


If the issue persists, test to see if this occurs in another user account to help isolate the problem. If you do not have another user account, please make a test user account:

Keep us posted.

These are the URLs to several college radio stations. Saved in a playlist. One works, several others do not. My iMac is on High Sierra. Macbook is older, is 10.9.5 which is most recent available to that hardware. Both computers use the most recent iTunes available to the specific OS. All the suggestions have been tried multiple times, to no avail. The issue has persisted for many months.
