ATV 3 Version 7.0 Home Sharing not woking with Yosemite and iTunes 12

Home Sharing from my Apple TV 3 (A1469) with software 7.0 is not working from the library on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) with OS X Yosemite 10.10, Airplay still works but its annoying to have to choose a Song/Movie/TV show from my MBP and then Airplay it to the ATV. Much preferred how well Home Sharing worked.

- I have both devices signed in to the same Apple ID.

- Have tired turning Home Sharing off and on

- Have restored the Apple TV

Using all devices on the same 5G wifi network (Huawei HG659b)

Most annoying thing is it was working perfectly before iTunes 12 was released.

Has anyone else discovered this problem? Does Apple or anyone have a fix?

Please HELP!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10), Yosemite 10.10

This is what helped me the most. I tried this solution on an ATV2 and ATV3 and it worked perfectly.

This absolutely worked for me. Why Apple allows this sort of change to take place to the computer name is beyond me. If the Back To My Mac is the reason why it would do so (due to FileSharing capabilities and the search-and-discover systems across a network habit), then Apple needs to come up with a fix for that sort of thing. Be that as it may, this fix worked and I can FINALLY see my iTunes library on my AppleTVs, iPad, and iPhone.

Thank you vants!
