Having a bit of a weird issue. I am trying to play a movie on my Apple TV via home sharing. I have done it countless times with success. However this time it just shows the loading wheel and never plays. I have turned home sharing on/off on my laptop and Apple TV to no prevail. Is this a common problem people are having these days with the new OS X? I am quite confused as to why its happening all of a sudden. Any help would be great!
Got a tip for us?

Home Sharing never loads

I find that sometimes a restart of my router, even with a very current firmware update, is required to make Home Sharing work again.

Was having the same issue for a while upon an OS X update. Here is the real fix:
1) open system prefs
2) open sharing
3) At the top of the window you see "computer name"
4) Change the computer name to something else
That's it; apple tv should recognize it right away.
