Problems streaming to Xbox One

[mobster011]

Hey Everyone,

I downloaded a torrent file and, through the PressPlay Video app, wanted to play the video file by streaming from my Surface 2 to my Xbox One. About every 10 minutes, it would disconnect from the Xbox, but continue to play on the Surface. I would then have to pause the video and reconnect to the Xbox. At first I thought it was because the Surface was going in to sleep mode, but I changed the settings to NEVER go to sleep, but it would still disconnect the streaming around every 10 minutes.

Does anyone know why this would have occurred? I have absolutely no indicator as to why it was doing that.

Perhaps it's PressPlay's fault? Does the XBox Video app result in the same problem? (Obviously if you downloaded an MKV you'll have to instead use an MP4 or any other format XBox Video supports.)

Edit: Make sure the tablet, the XBox One and the app are fully updated. Also try streaming smaller/low-res files.
