I recently purchased an Apple TV2 for our upstairs living room, while an original Apple TV is in our basement.
For the past couple of nights I've been trying to play a purchased TV show that resides in the iTunes library on my iMac. I've tried both Airplay and by going into my computer from the ATV2 and while it loads a video screen, nothing ever loads. The pinwheel goes round and round and round.
After a bit of hunting I came across this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2598887&tstart=0
None of the firewall fixes worked, even after restarting both the ATV2 and my iMac.
I finally decided to try it on my original AV in the basement and it plays. Works like a charm. So, what else can I try to get the ATV working. So far, sharing libraries and AirPlay don't work very well at all.
