Can't play home sharing music on iPad

I have switched on homesharing in iTunes on iMac.  (2011 running OSX 10.9.3 and iTunes 11.2.2(3)
I have selected the library from the "Shared" option in Music on the iPad.  (Air iOS 7.1.1)
(It shows the iPad itself as a shared library - don't know if that is right?)
Now I can see the shared music on the ipad.
But as soon as I try to play anything, it does one of the following:
- shared icon (bottom right) disappears and I have to restart app
- app ends itself (and the shared option has vanished when I go back in.)
I've stopped and started apps on Mac and iPad.  Have not used homesharing before, but everything else seems to work fine.
Anyone any ideas please?

Hi tobybarker,
If you are able to see but not play the iTunes library on your Mac from your iPad via Home Sharing, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
