    DLNA PlayTo not working with new Windows Media Player app on Xbox Series


    Previously I was able to use the "Cast to device" DLNA functionality built into windows (or other dlna "play-to" apps) to play music to my Xbox Series consoles. After being forced to update to the new Windows Media Player app, when I try to play music to the xbox, the Windows Media Player app launches as expected but it does not play the music and the dlna app on the PC complains that there was an "Unexpected device error". I'm still successfully able to play movies to the Tv and Movies app with the same windows "Cast to device" app, so it appears the problem is with the music app on the xbox.

    Any tips?

    :)

    Groove and music videos?

    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.

    Media Center

    Xbox One will be supporting DLNA on it's media player app with the upcoming October dashboard update, so this should be possible without problems.

    It's already possible to stream media towards the One with the windows media player, but with the next update the One will be able to browse for DLNA servers within the network it's connected to.
