Smartglass not connecting

The first time I used smartglass it worked fine. On subsequent attempts my sp2 alerts me that I have logged on to my Xbox but smartglass will not connect to the Xbox. I have seen a lot of complaints about this but no solutions, any ideas out there? Thanks in advance.

It is an xbox 360 and as I said it connected and worked fine the first couple of times that I used it. I know the set up is correct because when I log onto the xbox with my windows live account a notification pops up on my surface to "enjoy the smart glass experience" because alrlid has just logged in. I can "play to" the xbox (movies, photos etc) from the surface and I can view my gamer profile in the xbox game app. And I am using the xbox 360 app. My surface is a Surface pro 2 128gig 4gigb memory and I have installed every possible update (maybe thats the problem).

It's one minor problem on a really awesome platform, I love my SP2!

360 or One, if I remember right you have to allow access on the 360. Using SmartGlass now to access Crunchyroll on the 360 via my SP2.

Working on XOne as well.

Same here (xbox 360). I hadn't installed the smart glass app on my new SP2 until now so I am not sure when it stopped working.

Hmmmm... Smartglass is working fine today. Must have been a Xbox Live snafu.

EDIT: Now it is no longer connecting..

Is it possible that SmartGlass only works with a Xbox gold account and the time it worked was just a teaser?

On my Surface pro 2, I found a setting in my homegroup settings (pc settingings/network/homgroup) that says “Let devices on this network stream my music and videos”. I turned this setting on and SmartGlass started working.
