Home Sharing wont play videos since OSX upgrade to 10.9.3

Ever since I upgraded my iMac to OSX 10.9.3 home sharing hasnt worked properly on any of my devices for video streaming.
I have my iTunes library on my iMac harddisk and prior to the update I was able to play any video content (Movies, TV Shows and Home Movies) on any of my iOS devices in my home: Apple TV2, iPad1, iPad2, iPad Air, iPhone 4S *2.
last week I applied the software updares for OSX and iTunes and sice then I have not been able to play any video content on home sharing!
Mostly the library loads fine, but sometimes the artwork isnt displayed. When I tried to load any of the video content it just never loads an eventuall times out.
Has anyone got any ideas? I have done all of the usual resets and reboots to no avail.

Encore wont play video files

I recently upgraded encore from ver.2 to cs3 and find that ver.cs3 wont play video files.
It wont play the file in the project window, it just stops at the first frame. If I move the slider below the viewer the video material is updated but it wont play.
In the monitor view it wont play either, I can view the material by manually moving the cursor.
It wont play a preview either, it just stops.
It builds a DVD without problems and the dvd plays fine without errors but the program wont play any video files.
Ver.2 plays all the same video files without problems.
Please help!

Whew!
Glad that you got it fixed, and thanks for posting what worked for you.
Good luck with the interview,

I have an external hard drive with a shared music folder, which I can access (from Home Sharing) and play music on my Windows computer. On my new Mac, I can see the drive in Home Sharing but not play any music. What's the solution?

I have an external network hard drive with a shared music folder (WD MyBookLive), which I can access from Home Sharing and play music on my Windows computers. On my new Mac, I can see the drive and the music in Home Sharing but the tracks will not play. All the other authorized computers in my home network show up in Home Sharing and I can play the content. What's the solution?

There are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline and wont play video in the program monitor.

After reconnecting some origianl files after a hard drive crashed, there are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline that wont play video in the program monitor. They do however play in the source monitor.

Those stripes are most likely the missing media indicators, which means you've relinked to the wrong clips.

YouTube wont play videos

Just within the last few days Youtube wont play videos. Any ideas why this might be they work in IE.

Please give more details. Is this with just YouTube, or are there any
problems on other sites? What does / does not happen? Does the
web page load? Are there any error or other messages?

Home Sharing Does not work since the 10.2.2 update (win 7 64bit)

Ever since the update to 10.2.2 I have been unable to use home sharing. Anytime I turn on home sharing or folder sharing my itunes slows down to a crawl, taking over a minute to to any function (start playing a song, start a video, etc...) as soon as I turn off the home sharing itunes works properly again. This stinks because I cqan not use the remote function on my ipad or use my library on my apple TV.

Home Sharing works once after I start iTunes on the Mac.
Next time I want to watch a film, it justs hangs and says it cannot connect to my iTunes library.
I have the same issue on 5 ATVs round the house (some wired some wireless), I have tried fixed and DHCP IP addressing, I have moved the Mac to be on the same switch as one of the ATVs and the problem is still there.
I have tried a different Mac running Mountain Lion and the same thing happens.
At the moment in order to watch a film I have to use Remote Desktop to log onto the Mac and stop and start iTunes then the ATV sees the library. Watch film. Move to other room, fire up ATV no library, use Remote Desktop, rinse and repeat....frustrating isn't the word.

My iPad2 will not play videos after I upgraded to IOS 5.1.1. How can I fix it?at?, My iPad2 will not play videos afteri upgraded to IOS 5.1.1. How cani ix that?

I have an ipad2. Ever since I upgraded to the IOS 5.5.1 I am having problems playing videos on Netflix or YouTube. I do to have this problem on my laptop, so it isn't in my wireless router. I have cleaned out the cache on the iPad and that didn't help. I've restarted it too.
I hope someone has an idea how to fix it. I'm lost without it now.
Thanks.

Do the videos start to play and quit? Do they not start at all?
Close all apps and restart the iPad and then try YouTube or Netflix again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also try resetting/rebooting the iPad and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Even if your the internet is OK with other applications doesn't mean that there isn't an issue with the way that the iPad is connecting to NetFlix and YouTube. You can always try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

TS2972 HOME SHARING WONT WORK WITH ITUNES 12

I CANT ANYMORE
My OS is Windows 7
My iOS device: iPad 7.1.1
My iTunes Version: 12
AND I've tried by all means to use home sharing with the Remote app, but it doesn't work at all.
So please HELP ME

I have had this same problem since I upgraded to version 11 of iTunes. I just found today that if you go into Preferences (under the Edit menu in Windows or under File on Mac OS) there is a Sharing tab that was turned off. As soon as I checked the box in front of "Share my library on my local network" and the checkbox in front of "Home Sharing computers and devices update play counts" (I don't know if this second checkbox has to be checked or not) and restarted iTunes on each computer it began to work again.
I have no idea why Apple decided to have this turned off by default in version 11+ as I had it working fine prior to upgrading. I also have no idea why Apple makes no mention of the need to go into the Preferences and make sure Sharing is enabled. I have found no mention of it in any home sharing documentation...

Ipod Classic will no longer play video podcasts after upgrade to iTunes 10.

I have a 120GB Classic. I used to be able to play video podcasts just fine. Since upgrading to iTunes 10.0 in September I can see Podcasts with a little video symbol next to them on the iPod, but when I click on them the screen goes black for a couple of seconds, then flips back to the menu. If I copy the Podcast to a playlist, I get audio but no video, as always. The video podcast plays fine on the PC. I've tried "converting to iPod or iPhone version" with no success. I've Googled this problem and found many others with this issue, none with their question answered. Does anyone know if this is an issue acknowledged by Apple, and if so, do they plan to fix it? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Thanks.

am having the same problem with hannah montana episodes, anyone have a solution? apple?

ITunes Home Sharing not loading over VPN after upgrade to 10.10.2

Hey, all.
For years I have used a VPN to stream my iTunes library from my home computer to my work computer (who wants to bring a drive around with them everywhere?). It works flawless on 10.8.5... Ever since I upgraded to 10.10.2 on my Mac Mini, this is what happens:
When I first start up iTunes on my local system, I can see the Home Sharing icon. Then I go and select my remote library....it starts to load as usual....but then after a while it just stops and the home share has disappeared. I can no longer select it. I remote into my Mac Mini using LogMeIn, and I shut down iTunes...turn off my VPN....turn it all back on again, and sometimes that fixes it. Sometimes I have to log out of home sharing, shut down itunes, restart itunes, log back in...and do the same locally...
As you can see...this is absolutely ridiculous. Normally, I leave iTunes on 24/7 and connect via my VPN whenever and wherever I want to. Now it's massive P.I.T.A.
Any ideas as to what's going on? I'm about 5 seconds away from downgrading back to Mountain Lion.
Thanks!

Can't Play Video "need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player"

Ever since upgrading to FF 26 I can't play video on YouTube or many other sites.
It says "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
Download it from Adobe."
So I click on the link which takes me to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, do the install which goes without trouble.
But afterwards I get the same message when I try to play videos.
Running Windows 7 on a Desktop PC. Having NO problems playing videos in IE or Chrome. FF used to be great but it's becoming more trouble than it's worth.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You can try uninstalling it completely via the control panel and then installing it back on to the computer. You can also do a plugin check if you'd like.
Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Playing videos since I updated to Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard playing videos on my MacBook make my fan run on high, whether I am on the internet or using Quicktime. What can I do about this?

iLife is not a part of Mac OS X. It is not included on a retail copy of Leopard or any version of Mac OS X. You will have to reinstall iPhoto, or any of the original iLife applications you had, form the original disks that came with your computer. Most likely there's a grey Mac OS X install disk and a grey "Applications" disk that came with your Mac. The current version of iPhoto, available from the App Store, requires Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later.

TS2972 Home Sharing with ATV stopped working after upgrade to iTunes 11

After upgrading to iTunes 11, my two PCs are no longer visible to Apple TV or the iOS Remote App. I went through all the steps in "Troubleshooting Home Sharing" http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972 without success. In additions, I tried:
Turning Home Sharing off, then on again on both PCs
Re-created Firewall rules for iTunes
Ran a factory reset on Apple TV
Disabled iPV6 on the network adapter, based on a blogger's fix for an iTunes 10 problem
Some other observations:
Home Sharing was working with Apple TV an hour before I ran the updates for iTunes 11 and Apple TV.
The Apple TV and iOS Remote App are working together, so the network settings must be correct.
The PCs in question are running Window 8 Pro 64-bit and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
The two PCs can see eachother's iTunes.
It seems likely this is an iTunes 11 issue, but upgrading ATV2 at the same time clouds the diagnostics.
I was just about to order two more Apple TVs, but now have second thoughts now that my ATV2 is just a doorstop.
Any suggestions?

You are not alone with issues related to the e1000e (but all they concluded was that reloading the module makes it work again):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145564
It seems like this is more your issue:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux. … devel/8932
But if none of those boot flags work for you, then there's not much you can do, and you'll have to write a script to reload the module each time after initial boot finishes I guess until the module gets fixed.
Also, power management of the PCIe interface causes the e1000e to shut off after a while as well (lots of people on CentOS noticing this):
http://serverfault.com/questions/226319 … ie-aspm-do
So you can use that boot parameter to stop that from happening, if that becomes an issue for you as well.
