    Cast to Device not working


    Now that Windows 10 has arrived on Xbox One the 'Cast to Device' functionality has disappeared. I have tried to connect from several boxes running Win 10 and Win 8.1. All of them can see the Xbox on the network but clicking on the device in 'Cast to Device'
    does not bring up the Media Streaming popup so nothing is streamed!

    Really frustrating - hope there is a fix in the pipeline...

    :)

  2. Cast to Xbox one not working

    Pressing the "B" button on the game pad causes the Movies & TV app to remove the "connecting" screen, and the video then becomes visible.

    The bug does not seem to happen if the Movies & TV app is already running before you start casting. So, as another work-around you can start the Movies & TV app on the Xbox One first.

    I am also having the same issue. Additionally, both my xbox one and my computer have a hard line connection to my router.

    Bug: Xbox Windows Media Player cant cast audio

    I am not ready to upgrade to windows 11. Cast has always worked on windows 10 and now after an update to the Xbox Console (to replace groove music with Windows Media Player) cast no longer works. Note, this isn't isolated to my windows 10 devices. No UPnP devices (Android, IOS, etc) are able to cast to the Xbox One console.

    How to stop a device from casting to the XBOX One X on a wifi network in 2023 ?

    Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

    If the settings or preferences options that were previously described are not available on your XBOX One X console, there are other ways you can try to stop a device from casting to it on a wifi network.

    One option is to change your wifi network settings to prevent the device from connecting to the network altogether. Another option is to disable casting on the device itself, if possible.

    To change your wifi network settings, you can access your router's admin page and block the MAC address of the device you want to stop from casting. This will prevent the device from connecting to the wifi network and thus prevent it from casting to the XBOX One X console.

    To disable casting on the device, you can check the settings or preferences options of the device itself. If there is an option to disable casting, you can select it and the device will no longer be able to cast to any device on the wifi network, including the XBOX One X console.

    If neither of these options works, you may need to consult the user manual or contact customer support for the device or the XBOX One X console for further assistance.

    I can't connect local cast app with my Xbox one

    They are referring to the Local Cast app for Android. I am also having this problem not only woth local cast but any app that has the casting ability. Netflix, youtube, etc... are no longer seeing the xbox one on the cast to device list like it used to.
    Was there an update that removed this feature of casting directly to the xbox??

    Thanks!

    Windows 11 casting to Xbox One

    Yes both the PC and xbox are fully up to date, PC has been restarted. Xbox app has been reinstalled and restarted. The PC casts fine to other devices and the Xbox receives casts from other devices.

    How to set up the Xbox Windows Media center

    Why?

    It's outdated not to mention there are far easier methods like miracast or vlc even DLNA and you don't even need to open ports for it

    Even phone casting works better and it's not limited by codecs AA long as your phone or device casting supports it it can be casted

    With media Center you had limits on what movie and audio types you could play

    With miracasst and other steaming methods available thats not an issue anymore
