I have a mac mini in my second system that accesses music from the mini in my main system (ie the mini in the main system acts as a NAS for the one in the second system).
It all works absolutely perfectly unless I try to use the remote app on the mini in the second system. And more specifically only when I use remote immediately after starting up the machine* in the second system. I simply get 'an unknown error occured. check your library and try again'. If I then screen share and look at itunes the correct song is selected but is not playing and has an exclamation mark next to it. If I then select the song via itunes it plays as normal and remote works from that point onwards. Any ideas?
*or at least if itunes has not been accessed directly since start-up
