You may see an issue with macOS Monterey where the TM Server processes are stuck in "Waiting" mode. This can occur due to a TCP port conflict on TCP Port 5000, due to the AirPlay Receiver being enabled.

If you receive this message when running Theatre Manager, please

• Open System Preferences
• Click on the Sharing preferences (older MacoS) or look for Airplay in newer MacoS
• Disable the AirPlay Receiver option
