Update: talked with tech over the phone, still no luck, went to apple store and exchanged new unit, problem still here. I think its gotta be the firmware issue.
I think I have wait until they come with new update in the mean time.
Shot in the dark here but try these:
In your Network settings make sure TCP/IPv6 setting is unchecked but leave TCP/IPv4 checked.
Restart your router (I know most probably have).
In your Router's settings under security make sure Multicast is checked if you have that option.
Try a complete reset of your router.
Windows PC's check bonjour settings:
To enable, right click on My Computer and select Manage. Click on Services under Services and Applications. Right click Bonjour Service and select Properties. Change Startup type to Automatic. And, click Start under Service Status. Click Ok. Restart iTunes
Make sure if you have a firewall you don't have something apple related set to untrusted or blocked.
Check your ports for bonjour on a router:

In iTunes, click "Advanced". Turn OFF Home Sharing. Turn it back ON and it will ask for your iTunes password. Put that in and click "Done."
Try turning off wifi sync in iTunes for your iPhone and iPad, home sharing may now work.

Try assigning each device on the network a static IP.
I hope this helps.
Hey Guys,
Just got a new Appletv3 and got everything hooked up, but the apple tv only connected once to my iTunes Library.
Everything was working during that time. now a MSG on the apple tv says turn on home-sharing.
I have a Dlink dir-815. The Apple TV is connected through n 5ghz.
I went through and forwarded the ports.
I have turn off home-sharing and turn it on. Restarted my machine.
It is a windows Vista Machine.
As I said earlier I have only been able to connect once to my home-sharing and it stopped.
Thanks for any help.
I was going to go buy one of the Apple routers, but I realized I have Verizon Fios with coax connection, so basically I have to use their router unless I want to put that one in bridge mode and then the Apple one on top of that, lol. Sigh, I've already gotten a replacement AppleTV3 so I'm going to troubleshoot some more tonight.

Finally after a lot of messing around:
Final solution was:
Within each Airport Express I set a static IP under/internet and then connect using I selected Static and setup the IP and DNS
Weird thing thing is worked fine under os x 10.120 DP7 but DP8 and the GM S1 broke it, finally working again!
I have a Yosemite and a new ATV and had this same issue with connecting to iTunes library - turns out the fix is simple. Under System Preferences> Sharing just change the local host name for your computer. Then turn Home Sharing in iTunes and and off - worked like a charm. Here's the info where I found it. http://appletv2.com/apple-tv-cannot-connect-to-itunes-library/
