Worked fine a week ago. Upgraded Lion to 10.8.4 today. Home Sharing works on iPhone and iPad but not on ATV. Have reset all devices, my router, etc. it just won't find the library. Any one else having this problem?
Apple TV (3rd generation), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
Try what I posted here Yesterday: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5082547
It seems when the OS or iTunes upgrades the cache files are causing an error with the ATV
let me know if this works for you if it does I might be a common problem that Apple needs to address.
The solution turned out to be far simpler, but I still don't understand why.
Resetting the internet connection on the ATV fixed the issue. I just unplugged the ethernet cable and then plugged it back in. I did notice later that after letting the ATV sit for 20 minutes I had the same problem. So for some reason once the connection is idle for awhile it loses the connection to the library and cannot reconnect.
Interestingly enough, power cycling the ATV and various other resets didn't fix this, which leads me to believe it might not be the ATV. I am using powerline adapters to get internet in my basement. Maybe somewhere between the adapters and the router something goes wrong.
Ah yes Powerline adapters do tend to be affected by noise that interferes with the signal through the electrical wires from appliances in your house as well as other wireless signals from your neigbours or your own home. If you have a Plaster Networks branded one I know they provide some disagnostic tools to identify issues with the unit.
Apart from that I cannot think of any other ways that this could be fixed.
