Multiple of the same iTunes library appearing in Apple TV

Since I up dated my macbook air (13" Mid 2011) to the developer preview of Yosemite, my iTunes library on apple tv appears twice, some times as many as four times. None of them will connect properly. They usually time out with the standard error ' Could not connect to "### Library" '. My house mates also use Yosemite and there libraries seem to connect just fine. I am now on the 3rd preview of Yosemite, and each have been the same.

My work around for this has to airplay straight from iTunes, which usually works for one episode of something. Which I usually have to quite and restart iTunes as it won;t connect anymore.

Has anyone out there had anything similar and found a fix. I have been searching the net for a while now and haven't found anything.

I'd be tempted to restart the router to see if that helped, but with previews they can be unpredictable - don't expect perfect performance.

I've had the same thing happen to me, also since installing Yosemite beta 3. It's like the Apple TV vaguely knows that my iTunes library is out there, in some way/shape/form, but it's unable to make the connection so that it can interact with the library normally. Almost makes me wonder if there's something iTunes-related in the mix as well...
