Just downloaded VLC for Apple TV. When I started it, the Local Network screen only shows my Apple Airport wireless router and my MacBook Air. The iMac doesn't appear.
I've tried rebooting all the devices (Apple TV, Airport, iMac) to no avail.
Also, the MacBook and Airport show up as SMB devices. Shouldn't they be AFP? And when I tried to log into the MacBook, it couldn't see any files. And after a few minutes VLC locked up and became non-responsive.
Th iMac is set up for sharing, and it works successfully with AFP with the MacBook and my iPad.
Any suggestions?
