Q: ATV returns me to the home screen after a few minutes of pause

Hi community,

 

This is annoying me since I got the ATV4 at release:

 

I can stream content just fine from my iTunes Library (OSX 10.11, connected to a NAS) or my iPad Air 2 (content on the tablet, Amazon Prime Video, Youtube) - for hours, without any issues. However, when I pause the playback for longer than 2-3 minutes the Apple TV cuts the stream and sends me back to the home screen. I then have to either get back to my movie/show using the home-screen, re-start the stream from iTunes or re-enable AirPlay and press Play again on my iPad. The third generation Apple TV never had that issue. I disabled screensavers: that's not doing anything either.

 

Anyone else having that problem or is there some fix I could try? This is bugging me more than I would like to admit. I'm running 9.2

 

Cheers.

Apple TV (4th generation), tvOS 9.2
