ATV 3 not home sharing

My ATV 3 has stopped working on home sharing from itunes, I've got a 2014 macbook running el capitan and tbh I've had nothing but issues with this latest update. All my devices are on the newest software, and both signed into the same apple ID.

I have performed a bunch of sign in/sign outs as well as resetting the apple TV half a dozen times, please just assume I've already reset everything loads, it just won't display videos from itunes on the ATV.

It's really frustrating me because up until a couple of days ago it all worked perfectly.

I found your reply on another post and have tried literally all these suggestions, short of DNS settings, but I've altered them to use netflix region changes, and I've never once had an issue until earlier this week.

Sorry, but it doesn't sound as though you have read and tried my suggestions to me. I do not suggest changing the DNS settings.

OK, I found the same post on a fair few other threads relating to similar issues.

And as for whether 'it sounds like' I've tried your suggestions I'm not here for an argument, I'd just like to get my devices working again, which they were only a few days ago.

As for changing the DNS settings when I reset my ATV it already did this and I had exactly the same issues with the Apple approved DNS themselves.

I don't know if the issue may lay with the hardware on the ATV itself, as the issue just seemed to happen over night, and a full hard reset hasn't fixed anything at all.

My network settings and accounts now perfectly match on my ATV and my MBP but my ATV is still telling me to turn on home sharing (which is definitely on).
