Q: home sharing won't work after second sleep
Hi all,
after upgrading to macOS Sierra, I've started experiencing the following odd bug. When the computer (mac mini, late 2012) goes to sleep for the first time after booting, home sharing will be available on all my devices, as normal. When it goes to sleep a second time, however, home sharing simply disappears. That is, I don't see my shared library on my iPhone, Apple TV, etc.
This is highly frustrating, as I use my mac mini as a media hub, and would like it to wake "on call", and cannot do so if the devices do not see the shared library.
Once I wake my mac (manually), the library becomes available on all my devices.
(This may or may not be related, but once I upgraded to Sierra, my mac started going into deep sleep. That is, after a while the front light no longer pulsates, and will simply shut off. This is annoying behavior. I have not changed anything in my power settings. My mac does have an SSD).
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Mac mini, macOS Sierra (10.12)
