Thanks, mine was not that complicated. All I did was unplug Apple TV & plugged it back in.
Thanks for your suggestion of unplugging Apple TV. Worked in my case after an hour of searching for complicated solutions.
Your a god.. Million Thank
Thanks for the help. I was about to get a different Apple TV and I found this. Thanks again!
The library hosting my iTunes has a static ip, on the Apple TV I manually pointed the DNS to that server. Works as it was intended.
Again, you saved me.
Thanks alot.
Thanks worked a treat. If only my wife and kids would swap to Android so I could get rid of this apple crap.
