Itunes Airplay unknown error - 15000

Hi
i'm having trouble with ITunes 10.4.1.10 and my airport express.
It fails to connect saying an unknown error occurred (-15000)
i can "see" and configure the airport express from the pc, so there is no netwrok issue blocking the pc.
this is on a desktop pc running windows 7, it worked fine before i upgraded from itunes 10.1.1.4
and it does still work from a laptop running windows 7 starter using itunes 10.1.1.4
any ideas??
thanks in advance

I found this by "robinsf" on another thread and it's worked for me.
"Hi folks. This one has been bugging me since I upgraded to Itunes 10. But I started playing around in my firewall settings. I finally was able to allow UDP Port 6002 in my firewall and then scared myself to death when all my Airport Expresses in the house started blasting music. I'm using Windows Vista. In the Control Panel, I selected Security - Allow a program through Windows Firewall. In the Firewall Settings, I selected the Exceptions tab. I clicked "Add Port..." and added the following: Name: Itunes-AirportExpress (just so I could easily find the entry again if I needed to) Port Number: 6002 Protocol: UDP."

ITunes 9: Unknown error -15000 trying to stream to remote speakers

Some weeks ago, I started getting unknown error -15000 when I tried to stream music from my AEBSn to to remote speakers connected wirelessly to an AXn. I found Apple's iTunes 8 article on -15000, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2277, that blamed old firmware, but I am using the latest versions. I've tried pulling power on both wireless units and rebooted the Mac hosting the music but no luck. A search through the posts showed nothing promising. Has anyone else seen this error or have any suggestions? My versions are:
Mac OS 10.6.2
iTunes 9.0.3
AEBSn 7.4.2
AXn 7.4.2
Thanks, Will

Error -3256 or -15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations using iTunes
There are many, many related discussions in the AirPort Express (AX) discussion area.

Unknown error (-15000)

im using airport extreme as a base station and two airport express units to send music around my house. they work fine individually, but try to connect to both at once and i get 'unknown error (-15000)' reported by itunes.
ive searched around, tried turning the ipv6 of in network settings as suggested elsewhere, but still no joy...
anyone got any bright ideas?

I have this same error reported often, but not every time, by iTunes. I have a TimeCapsule connected to the LAN, an AirportExpress(802.11n) in bridge mode to the TC (also serving as the AirTunes server), then an AirportExpress(802.11g) connected to the AEn via ethernet (because the fracking iPhone won't talk to the TC on 802.11n! The whole setup works occasionally, but then will flake out and stop working for no apparent reason. The only viable solution I have found so far is to UNPLUG everything (yes, it requires a HARD power cycle, not just a restart remotely - PITA!)
I have talked to Apple's entire hierarchy of tech support to no avail. Apple refuses to ever simply REPLACE defective merchandise, so I have now spent $100s on fuel, $1000s in wasted time, and $10,000s on Apple carp, and still don't have a working computer system. ALL components in this network are Apple, since "support" would stop speaking to me every time I even mentioned that there was a Netgear or D-Link ethernet switch anywhere within sight of an Apple device!
At this point my only bright idea is to stop buying Apple products.
I have another network that runs on generic computers running Linux, with various brands of routers and it has several YEARS of uptime without a hiccup.

This solved my problem; maybe it would fix yours too: Uninstall iTunes 11 and all the applications that were installed with it. Afterwards, install iTunes 10 instead.
Make sure to delete the library folder created by iTunes 11 in C:\Users\[username]\My Music\iTunes before launching the older versions of iTunes. Otherwise you would receive an error indicating that the programme cannot start.

Error occurred connecting to AirPlay device. unknown error -15000

Hello,
I had my remote speakers set up through my extended network of 2 airport expresses and it was working. I just downloaded iTunes 10.6.0.40 and now I get unkown error -15000, can't connect to remote speakers. I have Windows 7 pro.
I've tried quite a few things and can't seem to get things working again. Reverted one of the AirPort expresses to factory settings, turned off/on firewall...
Some guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Mike

Hey old topic but with the lastest itunes 10.6.11 i had the issue appear with an Apple TV3. My setup worked for months but all of a sudden they stopped connecting.
What solved it for me was Uninstall itunes and reinstall.
I had tried the firewall exceptions, bonjour Mdns service by pass, Itunes repair, disable the Bonjour rules and make an all allow regardless of location. All resulte in the same thing ..
Event log errors on windows 7 Ultimate.
Client application bug: DNSServiceResolve(90D340741E88F7C2._appletv-v2._tcp.local.) active for over two minutes. This places considerable burden on the network.
or
ERROR: handle_resolve_request bad interfaceIndex 23
All Generate by MDNS resolver.
FYI: Installing from apple itunes site installs 10.6 and not 10.6.xx which is newer/updated.

Airplay unknown error -15007

cannot connect using airplay to russound speakers. worked last week but now seeing unknown error (-15007).

Thanks for the suggestion. The default position of the IPv6 was "link-local only", and I changed it to HOST. I gave it a try and all features worked great for a few hours. Then, suddenly, the AppleTV no longer supported airplay. It could still see my home shared iTunes library, and I had full internet access (NetFlix worked fine). Later in the day, the AppleTV could not find my home share volume. Other internet access still worked fine. Internet speed tests from my iPad showed over 6MB/sec download speed and 2MB upload speed, so the internet connection seemed fine.
If I plugged in an Airport Express cube, the music option of AirPlay showed up on my iPhone 4, but still no AppleTV. The AirPlay option on the AppleTV was still turned ON.
The next morning, the AppleTV could see my iTunes database, but still AirPlay did not work.
In fact, I've had only had AirPlay trouble (though iPhone, iPad, or iTunes) with the AppleTV, and only since installing the Gen4 TimeCapsule and Lion.
