View Full Version : Android App forgets devices

Hi,
I think this might be a local network issue, but just wondering if this has been seen before

If I queue up more than 2 episodes of a tv show, it stops playing after the second as the media device has gone (seems to forget it somewhere between 30mins to an hour)

eg
open android app and select 3 tv episodes
xbox starts playing after queuing the first one
second episode plays after first (so far so good, as expected)

now comes the problem

after the second one plays, playback just stops

looking in the android app under the device tab and the xbox has gone so it now doesn't know what device its playing to, if I hit the refresh at the top, the xbox comes back, I can then go back to the now playing screen, hit skip forward and it moves onto playing the next episode

I though of trying the server advertisement interval to see if this would make any difference (currently set for 24 hours), if I set this to its default of 30 mins, then with the above I lose the server as well as the device its playing to and have to refresh both

not sure if anything can be done, but any thoughts on where the issue might be

playback itself is perfect, no dropouts, I can stream the original way on my xbox all day long without issues

Thanks for reporting this. We'll reproduce this here and fix it up for the upcoming Mezzmo Android release.

Thanks, just to say this is on the 360 (not sure if it works any different to the new Xbox One)

Thanks for the information. We think we have found the cause and have fixed it. The fix will be included in the next Mezzmo Android release - probably due to release later this week.

Just to say this looks to be fixed now

Queued up 3 programmes last night and it played through them all without issue
