The practical answer

To compare two devices on a standard one-connection plan, stop the first stream before starting the next. Installation on several screens is different from simultaneous viewing.

A checklist for this decision

Choose one test source and note the account and player on the first device.
Stop playback and close the active session before opening the second supported player.
Test the same source on the second screen. Keep the network route comparable where practical.
Record which device worked, the time and the app versions. Ask about the actual connection allowance if you need concurrent playback.

Read the comparison correctly

A second-device failure while the first stream remains active does not establish a hardware problem. A controlled handover is a more useful test than two competing sessions.
