Can't stream media to my Xbox One

Renyr-8137F8D2-C16C-418B-AEE3-A3BE7B74216B · Mar 24, 2015

Earlier today I streamed an album to my Xbox One, and now every time I attempt to stream something to my Xbox I get the "Failed to retrieve media information from media server" message. Nothing will stream to it now, as I get the same error message each
time. This impacts Music and movies. In addition, yesterday I found out that media will only play once before no longer working streaming.

I have restarted Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and UPnP Device Host, and there has been no change.

Both Computer and Xbox One are wired.

Streaming Media from my PC to my Xbox One

I am unable to stream media from my PC (Windows 8) to my new Xbox One. Previously, I could stream media from this PC to my Xbox 360. All I needed to do was right click the media (in this case an MP4) and then select "Play to Xbox 360". The Xbox One is definitely
on the network and I can do some control of the device using the Windows 8 Xbox One SmartGlass app.

On the Xbox 360, this was done pretty much according to this forum article:

Streaming Media from your PC to your Xbox 360

Anyone have an idea why I can't stream media to the Xbox One?

Thanks!

Streaming music from phone to xbox one

I used to use imediashare for my 360 to stream music from my phone to my console. So I invested in an Xbox one, thinking it was the all in one media device, but now I can't even stream my music to it!! Plz Microsoft change smartglass to do this!

Try installing Serviio media server on your PC. I found that it works instantly on both my 360 and Xbox One without having to mess around with Windows settings. The server just shows up on your network.

Hey there, I can't really help your issue but confirm that the Xbox One doesn't have the same media center extender abilities the Xbox 360 did nor the same media streaming, at the moment.

I got it working. I had the Digital Media Renderer No driver found error.

I then went into Windows Media Player. Under Stream I selected Automatically allow devices to play media. Then under Stream,
More Streaming Options I made sure the Xbox One was allowed from the Windows Media Player, I right clicked on a movie/video in my library and selected "Play To" and then Xbox One. I heard the movie start.

I went to media center on the xbox one and all files are now showing

Hi BrianRagle,

The Xbox One isn't really designed to be a network media server. You can only stream from your Xbox to your Windows 10 PC using the Xbox App for Windows 10. However protected video and HDCP-protected content can't be streamed with game streaming. This includes
protected HDMI television content as well as the content from many media applications.

Corrected when trying to stream music on my XBOX One from my PC using media player app, I do this because playlists are also playable, the music files are no longer found. Video files and picture files are still able to be streamed. I am wondering since
the add of music to onedrive and xbox music did they remove the ability to stream music with media player. on another note the media player on the One is awful compared the players on the 360.

No, unfortunately not. However one of the other new streaming services might have the rights to stream that particular content online in the UK.

You can see a brief description of each of the new services and links to their sites on my blog.
