Mezzmo server will continue to stream the file to your device until your device aborts the connection between Mezzmo server and itself. For some reason, your device is aborting the connection whilst streaming. Common reasons for this are (i) your device's firmware has been interrupted by another event, (ii) your home network connection is not stable, or (iii) the file is not able to be decoded and played by your device so it gives up. It seems we can rule out reason (iii) since you say that you can play the same file many times over but only sometimes does it stop midway.
Regarding reason (i), we know this can happen for Samsung devices as they are easily disrupted by DLNA/UPnP communication whilst streaming. Try turning off all other DLNA/UPnP devices in your home and play the file several times to see if it plays OK. Also reboot your router to make sure it is not causing the problem.
Regarding reason (ii), an unstable wireless connection or one that is getting interference from other electronic devices can cause disruptions in streaming. If possible, as a test, try using an Ethernet cable between your device and router to see if that improves things. It may isloate the problem down to your wireless connection. Also, if you have a dual band router, then try using the 5GHz band rather than the 2.4GHz band. The 5GHz band may provide better streaming performance and have less interference from other devices in your home. Many Mezzmo users have reported better wireless streaming performance when using the 5GHz band. Consult your router's and devices' documentation for the recommended 5GHz configuration.
