TS2972 My apple tv stuck after playing one movie in home sharing. Any advice?

I cant play another movie after i have seen one.
I need to restart my itunes to fix it anytime,
Any advice?

Just wanted to let you know that I think my problem is resolved.
I started with your suggestion to disable the firewall and that seems to have solved the problem.
Thanks very much and have a Merry Christmas.

We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.

Embed question - play one movie after another

I am trying to figure out how to play a short 10 second clip before each movie on my website. The clip may be a short ad or a promo and will depend upon the content of the main video. What is the code that enables you to play one move after another in a web page. I don't want to edit the two clips to become one cos over time the ads and promos will change. In Realplayer I remember using SMIL but how is it done in QT. I will eventually write code to write out the Embed tag but now i am just experimenting. Here is what my drupal site puts out

Embed the initial movie clip as normal, but give it an HREF property.
Set the source for the HREF to be the next movie, set autohref=true, and set target="myself". It's the same technique you use to build a poster movie but (a) instead of having the poster movie open QT Player, you have its target open in its own frame and (b) instead of waiting for a user to click the poster, you have the poster movie "click itself".
Code that I used a very long time ago to display a "Loading..." graphic as a movie loaded (waste of effort, actually, as the movie is fast start and loads very fast):
<embed
src="loading.mov"
height="208"
width="256"
autohref="true"
href="Worm.mov"
target="Myself">
</embed>
(of course this was before I learned about OBJECT and the need to use OBJECT to activate the ActiveX control in IE. Also, it's worth noting that the javascript hack isn't strictly necessary for IE users, but without it, IE users will get a security dialog before they get the movie.)

Apple TV will only play one track at a time, can anyone help?

Hi,
I have Apple TV model #MC572LL/A which I think makes it 2nd gen, right? I've had it for a couple of years, never really had a problem with it until maybe the latest update of the firmware (5.2), or maybe the latest iTunes (11) or maybe my brand new Win8 Sony Vaio or maybe since I reset my home wifi router 10 days ago, whatever, all these things happened at once, and all was fine until something went wrong sometime last week.......
All of a sudden this started happening:
I'll play a movie (which I have imported into my iTunes library as a 'movie', not a 'home video') and it plays fine. At the end if I want to play another movie I go back to the movies menu, scroll down to another movie, select it and the spinny thing in the center of my tv screen starts spinning......and stays spinning.....forever.
The same thing happens if I play a music track. At the end of the track in an album or playlist it will move on to the next track on the TV screen but nothing plays, the tiny spinny thing under the progress bar just sits there spinning.
I have tried restarting Apple TV and factory resetting Apple TV to no avail. When I restart Apple TV I have to turn off home sharing in iTunes then turn it back on again by signing in before I can see my library on my TV screen.
If I go to my PC and close iTunes and re-open it I can then play another music track or movie. At the end of the track, if I go back to the home screen UI I can see all my movie covers or album covers along the top of the TV screen if I am on the green 'computers' icon. Anything I select to play will not play if something else has just been played.
I have home sharing on, obviously, I have one wifi network, one Apple ID, one wifi router, one PC, one iTunes, one TV, one Apple TV, a very simple set-up. It all worked fine last month.
Please help, it's driving me crazy! Thanks!

Can't help you with your problem, but just a heads up:
The 2nd generation AppleTV is very valuable, if you ever decide to sell it.
Check it out on eBay...

How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

When playing a song, are the controls at the top of the screen there? (Genius, Shuffle, Loop?)
If not, tap the center of the page once to expose them
now keep tapping the circle on the left part of the exposed controls untill a one (1) appears...

YouTube crashes after playing one second of video

I work in the IT Department at a college and we are deploying Adobe Flash Player Active X 11.9.900.152 on our network. The plugin version seems to work with no issue, however the avtiveX version crashes in IE8 after playing one second of a youtube video.
I have tried uninstalling using the Flash uninstaller tool, and deleting the files mentioned here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_t he_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller
but had no luck.
I have also tried disabeling hardware acceleration.
Is anyone else seeing this issue or have any other ideas?
thanks,
Brandon

Hi Brandon,
Are these XP systems? Is the hardware similar across the machines being impacted? Could you post a dxdiag report from one so we can take a look?
I just tried on a VM of XP with IE 8 but could not reproduce the problem. If you haven't already, you might also want to give our latest beta a try.

After updating to osx 10.8.2 and itunes 10.7, iTunes crashes consistently after playing one song

After updating to osx 10.8.2 and itunes 10.7, iTunes crashes consistently after playing one song. Song progress indicator actually stops working after 30 seconds or so and iTunes can no longer be closed. However, the song finishes playing, but the next one will not start.
I tried on different computers, with different iTunes libraries, both on internal and external media. It ALWAYS happens.
Any suggestions?

I downgrade to itunes 10.6.3 and the error still appears.
I have to download this utility http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/download-ie3-mac.php
And I deleted this file:
/private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesCDB
That fix the problem.
Now my iphone is working without issues on latest version of itunes 10.7

ITunes freezes after playing one song

Since upgrading to the new iTunes that was released today, after playing one song in iTunes in Windows, the program freezes and the only way out is to End Process on it. This only happens the first time that Windows starts up. After iTunes freezes and I End Process on it, and then run it again, it doesn't have this problem until the next time that Windows starts up.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

Turns out "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was doing something that held up the computer when I used iTunes. So I followed these steps to disable the service permanently (since I don't use Windows Media Player): http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/fix-wmpnetwk-exe-in-windows-7/

TS3623 Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.

I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.

Apple tv (2nd gen) reset itself after playing one song

Invited friends over and the apple tv failed me.
When connected to my home shared iTunes library, the apple tv will play the first song and at the end the apple tv will go to reset itself or get disconnected from the network.
Then I tried to play the music using the iTunes form the iMac but using AirPlay via the apple tv. The same problem, the apple tv will no play after the first song, and reset itself. However the iTunes in the iMac continued playing the next song.
I was lucky the I had a airport express. So I moved it to replace the apple tv and connect Otto the speakers. I Mac played non stop via the airport express with no issues.
Any ideas what to do?

Have you unplugged AppleTV from the mains and restarted/re-tried.
I doubt the software is bug free and sometimes unplugging power gets rid of spurious glitches.
If the problem persists, there are a couple of possibilities apart from AppleTV including issues with your iTunes library/artwork or individual songs being corrupted that iTunes itself may handle better and more gracefully than the iOS device.
Consider creating a new itunes library (hold alt when opening iTunes to create new/switch) and test with that (even under a different user account).
If it repeatedly does it send feedback to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
Do movies/TV shows play ok? If they do it's unlikely it's a network issue of some kind.
Also check that the iMac isn't going to sleep after a few mins causing AppleTV to hang as it can't find the song.

Apple tv 2 only plays one song at a time.

Apple tv 2 will only play one song at a time from iTunes library. When I click "play" on an album or playlist it plays one song and stops. Was fine until recent update.

Recent updates have been a brutal road to unsatisfied customers. restoring device is probably best option
