XS505M and GS110MX and 10Gb SFP and Apple TV Problem

Ok I think I figured this one out.
I got the new tranceivers in. I plugged the ipolex SFP one first.
Played the movie and about 6 minutes the movie stopped again and ATV reported that it lost internet access. WIred PC also reported no internet.
So I did the following. Moved the GS switch connection to the SFP port on the XS switch and the 2.5Gb connection from the RBRE960 to ethernet port #1 on the XS switch. Power cycled the XS switch and then restarted the movie on ATV. I played successfully for over 30 mintues. I stopped it and played a different movie for a while and it worked aswell.
Summary:
RBRE960 2.5Gb port > XS505M SFP > XS505M Ethernet 10Gb port > GS110MX Ethernet 10Gb port < ATV fails
RBRE960 2.5Gb port > XS505M Ethernet port > XS505M SFP 10Gb port > GS110MX 10Gb Ethernet port < ATV works
I guess I'm learning as I go. Internesting for the one configuration wth the ATV that cause all this to happen.
If anything has ideas or thoughts about this...All ears.

So just for kicks I put that Cable Matters SPF transceiver in a R9000 router and connected the ATV to the R9000 router as well. I streamed same movie for about 30 minutes. Wondering if there is something specific with the XS switch and this particular transceiver. I'm waiting on two new different branded ones to arrive,.
