All,
Last night I finally got around to testing my setup. I have an ATV3 hooked up to the TV via HDMI. ATV is using wifi. I have my PC running itunes, with it's iTunes library sitting on NAS, connected via ethernet. I have home sharing turned on on all devices.
On the ATV3, I can see my computer and am able to stream content from Itunes/NAS straight to it, no problems. The problem arises when I try to use the iPad as a remote. Firstly, it seems to struggle to see my iTunes library running on the PC. I had to restart it a couple of times before my content appeared in Videos/Music on the ipad. This caused the same problem when trying to use it to tell the ATV to stream content from itunes. Sometimes it just did nothing. I presume this was due to the fact that the ipad had lost connection to itunes again, although it could still see the ATV in the remote app. On the 1 occasion I had all 3 devices talking to each other, I told the ATV to play a movie, using the remote app. I could hear the audio playing on the TV but the video didn't appear. I just got the name of the movie along the bottom of the screen, next to the list of content?? Confused and needing some help!!
