I was using Airplay just fine from my iPhone to Apple TV as well as mirroring from desktop Now all I get on Apple TV when I select a home movie is a spinning wheel.

When attempting to stream home movies from either my iPhone or desktop, all I get on the Apple TV is a spinning wheel. The TV screen shows the item I'm attempting to stream, but it doesn't play.

Shut down and Restart our AppleTV device. On your AppleTV, open Settings ➔ System ➔ ReStart.
Check for updates on your AppleTV device. On your AppleTV, open Settings ➔ System ➔ Software Updates and Select Update Software. If your device is already updated then then move to step 3.
Ensure that your AppleTV device is on the same Wi-Fi Network as your iPhone and your Desktop.
Try AirPlay again.
