Hey guys, long time reader, light poster... looking for some help here.
I can't get my Apple TV 2 to stream any movies from my iMac. I have the mid 2011 27 iMac with all the bells and whistles... The network is the latest airport express model with latest updates, and the apple tv is only a month old and also fully updated.
The weird part is, that i can purchase content from iTunes, and i can stream movies from my mac book pro. however the majority of my movie collection is on the iMac, and it will not stream.
I have tried streaming iTunes purchases as well as movies i have ripped on handbrake using the ATV2 encoding option.
Any idea why it seems like my iMac and ATV2 can't talk? I have had a few times where it eventually loads up a movie after 5-10 minutes, but the cue takes forever... it takes longer than downloaded the whole movie or streaming from the internet...
thanks for any tips
