Need to restart macbook to watch more than one episode on apple TV

The setup we run at home is two apple TVs running through my Macbook Pro with all TV shows and movies stored on a time capsule.

My problem is that when I watch anything on the apple TV the first episode/movie works fine but the second comes up with an error saying 'content cannot be found - please try again later'.

The only way I can fix this is to restart my macbook every time which of course is very annoying.

It does it on both apple TVs which leads me to believe there is something wrong with my macbook.

Any help will be appreciated!
