What type of content are you playing from your Mac? You probably aren't looking at iTunes content, but if you are, it can't play it because of the DRM.

I was in the same boat, using OS X EI capitan, had to install SMBup in order to make it work, I believe MrMC, at the moment, doesn't support the SMB used in EI capitan.

Ah yes - I've seen other conversations about that. I'm using a NAS as my data source, so I've not ran into that issue.

you have to tell it to scan. just setting the metadata type does just that. sets the type.
