Hi all,
Wondered if anyone has experienced this scenario:
Use iTunes on 2012 Mac Mini which is connected with ethernet.
Use Remote app on iPad mini to control iTunes, sending music to Airplay enabled amplifier which is connected with ethernet.
Mostly works fine, but lately when I fire up the Remote app, my iTunes library on the Mac Mini is not detected.
Restarting iTunes on the Mac Mini doesn't help. Only restarting the Mac Mini allows the library to show up on the Remote app, and all works OK - until the next time I want to play music. I then have to go through the whole process again.
One possible solution I am playing with, is to use WiFi on the Mac Mini instead of ethernet. So far this seems to work, but the Mac Mini is a long way from the router, so I would like to use the ethernet connection.
Does anyone know of a problem with Home sharing and mixing ethernet and wifi connections?
All devices are on the same network, and the router is a 5 year old Extreme.
Thanks
