Apple TV remote with home sharing (my computer)

Hello

I have 1000 movies that were not purchased via iTunes but are in my iTunes library and when I try to watch them on my apple tv (through sharing the House and then the my computer application), I start the letter and scroll down (if I want to watch something on the letter W let) and it takes forever.  Is there a faster way to scroll or search for the movie by name?  When I use siri it appears the movie from the itunes store, and not in my library.  Very frustrating that it can take me 10 minutes to find a movie I want to watch.  Any help?

Hi, not much help, I'm afraid. You should try the suggestion box, https://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.htmland let them know how it could be improved. Siri is probably out of the question, however, because it is based on a database built specifically for content to iTunes.

  • Internet bandwidth economy with home sharing

    Hello

    I did some quick research, but has not been able to find an answer to this...

    I have an Apple TV 4 and I buy and stream iTunes movies and television on a regular basis. In an effort to save internet bandwidth, I wonder if I download movies / TV shows to my iMac and activate home sharing, will be my Apple TV then disseminate these to my iMac or will he continue to stream from the file iTunes servers?

    Thank you.

    Hi there Antonio0279,

    Yes indeed you can save bandwidth by using home sharing to view media on your computers! You must go through the computers rather than the streaming app to say that iTunes and this article has more information on this topic:

    • To find shared libraries, go to the main menu, select computers, and then choose a library.
    • You can also view photos from your computer to your Apple TV: open iTunes on your computer. Then go to file > home sharing > select the Photos to share with the Apple TV.

    From: use the share of the House to share content with other devices iTunes

  • Problems with media sharing of computer for Playstation 3, xbox 360, PLEASE HELP!

    I can't streaming media from my computer to my PS3 and Xbox 360 (media sharing) through her router (Network). I always listen to movies, music, photos etc from my computer on my Playstation 3 but recently the windows icon ceased to appear on PS3 when I turn it on. Also my xbox is telling me that it is unable to connect with my computer. The strange thing is, internet works perfectly fine for everything and I checked my network share settings and my computer has detected two game systems and are both allowed to share media over the network. I just can't understand why (& PS3 Xbox 360) game systems ceased to recognize my computer suddenly but the xbox live and PSN (online games) work very well. All the world had a similar problem and help me?

  • Apple TV home sharing does not (10 Windows, iTunes 12.4.1.6)

    I have two 3rd generation Apple TV in my house and home sharing used to work perfectly on it when the contents of the copy of iTunes on my desktop Windows 10 streaming. But since than do a clean install of Windows 10 that has not worked.

    I search online for the solution and have tried everything... but nothing works.

    It is not the firewall on the computer or the router by turning off both makes no difference

    Running iTunes in mode of different compatibility does not help

    Change the name of computers do not do...

    Someone at - it any other ideas?

    AirPlay works perfectly, it's just the sharing House that doesn't.

    Thanks in advance

    For home sharing work, ATV and iTunes must be on the same Apple ID This does affect airtime. Check the ID on your iTunes. You can find information here for help with home - sharing Apple support. Moreover, the firewall of the router, which focuses on internet traffic has nothing to do with it. The Windows Firewall must open certain ports to allow communication between different machines.

  • AppleTV lose synchronization with the home sharing

    First my set up: I have an AppleTV 2nd gen and the AppleTV 3rd gen (both up to date), the 10 Windows computer, iTunes 12.3.2.35 (the latest version), Airport Express (also updated) router hooked up to the modem to my cable company (bought airport because the wifi on the cable modem was crap and I had to reboot the modem on a daily basis). I put both the Windows Firewall and the firewall on the cable modem to accept UDP Port 5353 Hello (in fact, that morning on the Windows Firewall is configured to accept any port).

    The problem: for the first eight months, I got the Airport Express, it was great. I was finally able to use reliably the AppleTV without having to reboot, nothing. A few weeks ago, I started having problems when I turn on the AppleTV and he told me that she could not access share and I want to ensure that the computer is on the same network, iTunes updated and these. Everything is up to date and I have only a single network appliances signed in. Usually restart iTunes solves the problem, but this isn't really an option when one of the AppleTV is connected to and play something iTunes. At this stage you can still stream purchases iTunes, YouTube and other apps, it does not recognize only the computer itunes library. Go to the general tab and then by restarting the AppleTV don't work, or don't disconnect and reconnect it to the network. On rare occasions, I had just restart everything (not sure if the router and the modem that requires restarting, but as I expected the computer I thought it have not harmed).

    I wonder if someone can offer a preview/advice as to why the AppleTV intermittently does not recognize your computer for sharing, especially when the other AppleTV is fortunately streaming something from the iTunes library on my PC. I want to say that it worked very well at the start of the latest version (12.3.0.44), but she definitely felt the connection problem until 12.3.2.35 was released and it did not get better with the update. Googling around the internet, I saw comments on disabling IPv6, but I prefer not to do that because it is likely to cause other problems on the road.

  • Apple TV Home Sharing very slow loading!

    Hi all

    If the thing is I want to listen to my films I have in iTunes on my Macbook Pro (late 2011) to my TV via my Apple TV!

    Home sharing is working I can see movies that I have on my Macbook Pro, but if I start to play the movies his load of 10-30 min, and then plays until half is reached, then stops loading. Also, I tried all this as listed on the apple support page!

    What I can do or guys you have ideas how to solve the problem?

    Are you using wifi, how far are the devices, do we force of signal you get on each. Do you know what kind of wireless network you use. 2.4 / 5 GHz, a, b, g, n, or ac.

  • Home sharing password

    I was under the impression that the Apple ID password and home sharing password were one and the same, however, when I try and connect to the share house I get the message "home sharing could not be enabled because Apple ID or password is incorrect.". My ID never changed and I must admit for several days, I changed my password several times in the hope of being able to connect. The password works with everything except the home sharing.

  • Intermittent home sharing - TS suggestions?

    I've read numerous reports online with home sharing being super intermittent. I'm usually pretty good when it comes to troubleshooting, but have found myself confused on this issue. Sharing home worked a lot in the past, but as of recent it has gotten to the point were the video I watch will drop every 5 minutes or so and I have to re connect to the server.

    The installation program looks like

    • Mac Mini Late 2009 (2.26 GHz with 8 GB ram) connected by ethernet an Airport Extreme CA (setting for PPoE)
    • 12 iTunes (the latest version as of 26 September)
    • Mac OS X 10.11.6
    • iPad 2 Air with iOS 10.0.1
    • iPhone with iOS 10.1 + 7
    • All of the devices in question have a static iP (at the lower end of the scale)
    • Also running Mac OS Server on the mac Mini however this has always been the case even when the home sharing works.
    Signed and off home sharing on all devices and the problem persists on the iPhone and the iPad that makes me think that it may have something to do with home sharing. Don't forget that I can access my Mac Mini remotely via google remote desktop without interruption since the iPad in the same exact place it is de-energized. Internet abandon, however home sharing does. She also is de-energized at random points in the video, if I had to watch the video again, it would be a different point, so doesn't seem to be a problem with the file.

    OK so I solved my problem, the issue seemed to come from my mac sharing the iTunes Media folder. I turn off file sharing and it seemed to have solved the problem.

  • Apple tv remote and my mac mini

    I have recently set up a TV and use it for my mac mini, as well as my apple tv.  The apple TV remote seems to exploit both the apple tv and mac mini.  I'm trying to find a way to stop the operation of the mac mini remote control.  I matched the remote with apple TV, but it still seems to cause of my mac mini leave the sleep and open iTunes so I'm trying to browse my apple tv apps and look at something.

    I checked the settings on my mac mini and is States there is 'no distance not matched' with the computer, then, how can I stop the operating distance of the computer?

    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    If you don't want to use a remote control with your computer, the best thing to do is just turn off the IR. (System preferences > Security > general, click on the Advanced button in the lower right corner - if the button is dimmed, click the lock icon and enter your administrators password)

    If you want to continue using your remote computer, then you must match your remote computers with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with Apple TV.

    To match a remote control with a device hold down menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see an icon of the chain on screen (better take the computer in another room, or turn it off, when you do)

  • Home sharing broken in El Capitan?

    I had a House sharing installation work for years with several Apple TV and IOS devices.  That recently all crashing stopped strangely right around the time that I have improved the main iMac to 10.11 - I do not use home for really - iOS devices sharing but they also lose the connection.

    It's all signed the same network.

    The ATV3 has the Apple ID and password correct and aims the sharing of home - but never connects

    iTunes 12 has all the home share switches ON, good Apple ID, password, but cannot be discovered.

    used for all iOS devices can access the share House too - is no longer.  Same deal - all set up right - just DOA.

    All devices have been restarted, but not deleted / reset - yet.

    I tried all the Troubleshooting FAQ I could find, but so far no joy.

    Another bit of suspicious coincidence - I also lost the ability to print via WiFi at the same time.  I had to order really long USB cables for our printers.  I Doub ' t it's the router because it is relatively new and works fine for internet throughout the entire House.  It has been restarted too however.

    Any ideas?

    Can you confirm that your Mac is on the same local network that your Apple TV and other devices?  I have a cable modem with a wireless router, which offers a secondary network of Wi - Fi (separated) as one 'hotspot' for others subscribe to cable.  Once, when I rebooted, my Mac connected to another network for any reason whatsoever, and although I had Internet access, I was wondering why I couldn't see my other Mac and Airport base station.  Another time (for many years), my Mac connected to a (non-secure) WiFi network nearby and I have not noticed immediately.

    This is more than just a problem with home sharing in iTunes.

  • Apple TV in error 'enable home sharing '.

    Years, I got an AppleTV on each of our 3 TV.  I have them, then connect via "Computers" to my iMac which is running iTunes and my library of movies more than 2,000 movies.  I've never had a problem with the part 'Computers' on the AppleTV not just have all my movies, music and TV he meet and watch.  However, I just moved and since then almost every time I want to watch a movie on my computer to the AppleTV article it says that my home sharing is not enabled.  Which is not at all the case.  Sharing my house is ALWAYS on.  And I let my iTunes always run continuously (I learned that when I set all this up - it won't work without being on my iMac iTunes).  I had this running correctly for years and now it does not work.  If I go on my iMac and unsleep-so I quit iTunes, then open it again - then everything rises.  It's very embarrassing and I know that's not the way it is supposed to work.  Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thank you!

  • Is it possible to stream DVD of ICloud instead of iTunes home sharing via my computer?

    I would like to be able to download my DVD somehow so I can play them all Apple TV (gen 4) instead of airplaying them or having to maintain the computer to share the home of my iTunes (latest version). As it is, if I want to watch a DVD, downloaded on my Apple TV I must select COMPUTERS and go into my library to select the movie and then keep my computer over time. I managed to download a DVD on my Icloud player hoping to be able to stream the DVD from there nothing doesn't. I do not understand why this is the case and am unable to find any resources that explain the case however, I'm rather new to all this and perhaps, I not looking in the right places. Second of all, why can't I just go to the MOVIES on Apple TV and find them there with the rest of my movies as opposed to strictly buy films he and others else where; they are all good movies? Put them in the category FILM (it is more a problem of Apple, I guess). Is it possible to stream my DVDs to iCloud instead of iTunes home sharing via my computer? Any information or guidance would be appreciated thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

    When you look at the top row of the applications the homescreen are apps from iTunes Store.

    So the only films - purchased are one you purchesed from iTunes. It is the same for other applications in the same row.

    Focus on Plex to broadcast your own films as an alternative to the use of computers on the Apple TV.
