If you see an alert message that says "There is a problem playing this shared video: The shared video server may be having problems playing this video" when you try to play Shared Video, it usually means that the computer you are trying to use for playback isn't authorized to play the content.
To fix the issue:
- Exit Front Row by pressing the Menu button on the Apple Remote.
- Open iTunes and try to play the same video.
- iTunes will ask you to enter the Apple ID and password used to purchase the video, in order to authorize that computer to play the video.
- Verify that the video will play in iTunes.
- Go back to Front Row. Now that the computer has been authorized, you can use Front Row to play the content.
