    Hello kjcraig1960,

     

     

     

    If the system hosting your library is going to sleep, it can cause similar symptoms.

    8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep

    For Apple TV to access your library while the host computer is asleep, "Wake for network access" must be turned on.

    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and select (enable) the "Wake for network access" option.

    In addition, the network that the host computer and the Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) is connected to must support Wake on Demand feature. This works by partnering with a service running on your AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule called Bonjour Sleep Proxy.
