Since upgrading my Apple TV it no longer plays movies. Well it did but I needed to pause the movie half way through and it went back to the movie preview screen. I resumed play and it started to load and then went to blank screen and spinning wheel. Cannot play anything on it now. It just says its loading and then teh wheel spins on forever.
Any answers?

No still the same. Up until the Apple TV upgraded and I added a user/computer via homesharing all worked fine.
Including playing three quarters of the a movie that now wil not load at all (rented movie so have now lost access to it). I cannto play movies we have bought outright. Same deal - goes toload and spinning beach ball. up until the upgrade and for nearly 12 months we have not had any problems at all. Its not the WIFI it is something to do with the upgrade or homeshare and in doing a quick search I am not the only one with exactley the same problem but no solution to date.
Any further advise.
Join the club I guess. The 6.0 update is a disaster. At least it didn't brick mine but every video now pauses mulitple times with spinning wheel whereas a month ago we never saw it. Nothing else in my wifi or other home setup has been changed. Just this lovely "update"
Add my Apple TVs (1 each ATV 2 and ATV 3) to this issue. So disheartening to no longer be able to watch my local library. It used to start playing within about 10 seconds. After update two hours later and still not playing. These are locally stored movies and tv shows, and I use Apple Extreme wifi router.
Movies no longer play. Just get the spinning disk.
