When I load up iTunes to play a film wirelessly it works - the film will appear on the TV - but only for two minutes. Then I get a mesage saying that "Apple TV is not connected to the internet - go to settings......" I did and made sure that it recognises the network. It now
does.
However now it will still only play for two minutes and then revert to the Apple TV home page - menu etc.
What am I doing wrong?
since it state internet then the tv is not relevant you have a periodic defect appletv
or a bad quality lan network or a bad quality Internet connection
I have been through the Apple TV diagnostics - internet speed etc - all OK.
My wife has a Macbook and can stream films from her iTunes straight to the TV and it just plays seamlessly.
I believe I need to adjust a setting on my Pro but I don't know what!!
Post to the appropriate Mac forum as it is a computer issue, not an ATV issue per your own testing.
The following article(s) may help you.

Thanks guys.
I have worked my way through the various topics but nothing helps.
Everything seems normal and it should just work. Indeed it does but only for two minutes.
The other MacBook Pro (I said MacBook before- sorry) has no problem and will just stream continuously.
I really don't get it - it must be some simple setting I have got wrong - begining to despair here.
I have a Samsung Smart TV and a MacBookPro.
