Hi community!
Rarely am I beaten by software. But the lack of discussion on this topic has defeated me.
I'm trying to stream the Xbox one to my late 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina display, and I'm failing to do so. Every time the connection is established, a second after and the whole Xbox app that I'm running in the latest version on windows 10 through the latest version of boot camp, crashes and closes down.
I've visited a few forums here and there, with the general theme of the issue being related to the AMD graphics card.
I'm wondering if anyone else with the similar mac and Xbox has had any similar issues.
P.S. I've ran the stream test (those of you with xboxs will know what I mean) with all test receiving a successful tick mark. I've also noticed the app crashes when I'm trying to play a captured video uploaded by the live community.
