DLNA PlayTo (aka casting) is back for Groove on Xbox One

Hey TimDroz,

As part of bringing the Groove Universal Windows app to Xbox, we lost a few features like Music Videos and DLNA PlayTo and added a few like background audio, Your Groove, and Explore.

We know how loved DLNA PlayTo and Music Videos are and are working to bring them back soon.

I found this in another thread from a moderator.

I don't know what error your seeing but it doesn't work anymore anyway. In the last update Microsoft just decided to remove the "DLNA PlayTo" feature from the groove music app on xbox. So you can't stream to xbox using bubbleupnp anymore and apparently there's
no time-frame for fixing it.

Hi IEnjoiPonys,

Greetings! Thank you for posting in Xbox Forums. We are happy to help.

We understand that you are trying to cast music from Android to Xbox Console. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

Based on support articles - Groove Music on iOS and Android: FAQ, Groove Music iOS and Android apps were retired last 2018 and streaming music to Xbox Console will be made available for the devices with Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)-compliant playback capabilities.

We listed few ways for you to cast music to Xbox Console (try if applicable):

• Getting in touch with your device's manufacturer to see if they have any features for casting music, such as setting up your phone as a DLNA server or using a built-in app for cast to device.
  
• Install third party app that allow you to cast to device- Playing background music on Xbox | Xbox Support.
  
• Store your music files on Flash Drive then use Windows PC to cast the music to Xbox Console - Stream music and video content to your Xbox console using PlayTo.
  

Though things listed above are suggestions only. We'd like to know the details about the concern you have raised, please see few questions below:

1. Would you mind posting a screenshot of the error you were getting on Xbox Console and/or Android? Please conceal any personal information.
   
2. May we ask what is the make and model of your Android?
   
3. Is the application used, as well as the console and Android phone, up to date?
   

We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.
