"There are no movies in this library"

Question

"There are no movies in this library"

Since the last update on Apple TV2, everytime I sit down to watch a movie, I get the following message "There are no movies in this library". I do have movies in my Itunes library. I have to stand up and walk upstrairs to my Imac 27, quit Itunes and restart it...Then I go back to my cinema room downstairs and it works. It is a pain in the but. It was not like that before the update. Does anybody have an idea on how to fix this, and it another update is required, when can we expect that ?

2 thoughts:

1) Make sure your iMac does not sleep... ever. Spin down the HD, turn off the monitor, etc., but don't let it actually sleep.

2) If you have a laptop (or at least another, closer, mac), and you're feeling lazy, you may at least be able to save yourself the walk by connecting to it via screen sharing, and shutting down/restarting iTunes remotely. This is what my wife does when needed, since her recent spinal surgery makes the walk downstairs to physically restart iTunes very difficult.
