Hi,
So I got the new Apple TV, I like it so far however a few complaints..
I'm in the UK so to watch tv shows i have to download them to my mac and stream them.
My setup originally was MBA>External HDD&AirPortExtreme>AppleTV
but seeing I didn't want to have my MBA turned on all the time, I decided to add all the tv shows I had in my library on my MBA (which were actually on the HDD plugged into the AirPort extreme) to my always on PC downstairs.
This worked great, until this morning, when it suddenly refused to play any media from the windows computer's library. I've tried everything, resetting the Airport, restarting the PC, restarting Apple TV, but it's just keeps showing the little buffering wheel where the play button normally is.
It goes into the library, and into the full screen view for the show, but then it just won't play the show. The weird thing is, the grey scrub bar, that shows the media has buffered, is there, and it lets me skim through the with fast forward and rewind, but it just wont play because that spinning wheel is there.
I know it's not because the media is on an external HDD because it plays fine when I select it from my MBA iTunes instead of the PC. (It does play on the PC in iTunes btw, just not on ATV.)
Thanks for reading this rather lengthy post.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Caolán.
