Windows 7 -can't stream video to Apple TV-network times out
Hi:
I can't stream video from itunes on a Windows 7 pc, to Apple TV (ATV)(3rd generation). The ATV is only a week old but has been replaced with no luck. When I try to stream video, an error message pops up: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device Apple TV. The network connection timed out".
- the ATV is not the issue as it was replaced
- I can stream audio and photos from itunes, but can't stream video (which is in the proper format for ATV)
- I installed itunes on an old xp machine and video streaming works!
- both the xp machine and the Win 7 machine are on the same network, so the router must be ok
- all firmware and software is up to date and everything has been rebooted (several times)
- the error happens no matter if it is a wireless or wired connection
Since XP can successfully stream video and is on the same home network as Win 7 and we know that both the ATV and the router are working properly, it seems to me that there must be an issue in my Win 7 config. Does anyone have suggestions???
Thanks for your help!
