Ethernet cable not working in app xbox streaming preview

I think the only way for this to work would be to stream your console to your laptop using the xbox app on your laptop, it would be better if both devices are connected via ethernet cable instead of wifi

One of the basic things to do is update the xbox app, make sure no one else is streaming music or Netflix during playtime, try another Ethernet cable and/or try it wireless. And or have the xbox wired in.

Please reply back if these. Steps don't work.

Hi magino85,

You may need to manually input the IP address of the console into the Xbox app on the PC if the console is not being detected.

On the app, you can go to the Connect panel and if it doesn't connect you can manually put in the console's IP address into the following text box. This guide should help you troubleshoot game streaming issues:

Try a different or new ethernet cable or try to only have the Xbox connected via Ethernet but leave the PC connected wireless.

Oh and stream with Ethernet cable, not wifi. You don't want trouble with wifi mid-stream.

It's absolutely can be done, but if you can, go with Ethernet is my opinion at least.

Yep. I'm having the same problem. Sling TV is working fine on my Roku which is hooked up via wifi. But it's crashing and freezing on the xb1, which is hooked up via Ethernet cable. It's not my connection and it's not Sling TV. It's either the app or the
xb1 that's the problem. I tried reinstalling the app and no difference. Netflix and other streaming services work fine.
