IPad airplay crashes with large video library

Question

Is anyone else having issues with airplay and the Video app on the iPad? I have 2 apple TV's and an iPhone 3gs where airplay via home sharing works great for video. On my iPad 2 however using the video app it crashes every time I try to browse in my TV shows. I will give you the fact that I have a huge library but it does work on my 3gs which is the lesser of all my devices.

Answer 1

OK, I may have an idea here. I just updated the software on my Apple TV and now it can't read my library. It just says there are no music/movies.
One thing that's a little fishy is that my library on my iMac doesn't have an "iTunes Music Library.xml" in the iTunes folder. From what I've read, this file is paramount to third party apps collecting information about the iTunes Library. My thoughts are that the Apple TV update changed the way it reads the Library and now requires the XML file instead of just the regular native file. This might be the reason that AirVideo is unable to read my playlists as well. I use AirVideo by pointing it to my media folders.
So I thought I would just do the "File > Library > Export Library" to get a new XML file and rebuild my Library. It looks like it's working but then no file results.
The only other option I can think of is to start from scratch again. I should mention, I do have a very large library of Movies and Music, almost 1TB and it is stored on an external drive. Sadly, my 100 playlists will have to be rebuilt manually
Things that work:
Remote App to Airport Express speakers
Things that don't work:
Apple TV reading playlists
iPad reading Movie or Music playlists
iPhone 3GS reading Music playlists (didn't try movies)
AirVideo reading playlists
