So for years I've been sharing my music libraries between my MBPs and my iMacs, and suddenly it's no longer working.
My iMac is an Intel i7 (21.5-inch 2019), 32GB RAM, running Sequoia OS 15.6.1, the latest available for Intel macs.
My MBP is an M2 (13-inch, 2022) on 24GB RAM, running Tahoe 26.0.1.
Both computers are "authorized" for Home Sharing. They're both connected to the same WIFI network, different IP address so we can rule out clashing. Both macOS Music apps are logged in under the same account, so they should work. And have been working. Forever. Until now.
I've rebooted both computers, restarted the router too.
But what happens is if I try to access the iMac's Music library via the Music app on my MBP, I get a busy pointer for a moment, and then as soon as the iMac's library appears, Music crashes.
However, if I go the other way around and try to access the MBP's Music library via the Music app on my iMac, it works like a charm. But I really need to go the other way around.
Music app is open on both machines.
What could be causing the crash??
