Get Media Player Ultra For Free (Limited Time) For XB1, Windows 10!

Have you used it, and is it any good?

Doesn't seem like anything impressive, as far as the description lists and the initial launch is going.

But... you know, it's a $30 dollar thing. Might as well! I'm hoarding 100+ unplayed games anyway. What's another 50MB?

In order to get the DLC on your XB1, you will have to re-download it on the XB1 marketplace while on the console. This is what I had to do.

It shouldn't cost anything at this time, but I do believe that there is a limited time window where you can acquire it for free. I believe that Jan-15th is the last day for the free update.

Hello ValuingLemon39,

Quick question - Did you already install Windows Media Center? It doesn't come installed by default.

If you have Windows 8 Pro, you can get WMC free, for a limited time, here:

Also For help with setting up streaming to your console, please start with our "Stream media using Zune or Windows Media Player" guide and try
out the solutions there. Please let us know how that goes, thanks!

While you can't use Media Center with Windows 10 (as Windows 10 doesn't have Media Center anymore), you can still stream music, videos and pictures to your Xbox 360 via DLNA.

To set that up, start the Windows Media Player on your Windows 10 PC, and make sure the Media Player has access to your media files. Usually, Media Player looks for that under "Users\[YOUR USERNAME HERE]\[Pictures | Music | Videos]"

If you use different folders or drives for your media library, you need to add those folders and drives to the Media Player's library.

If your media shows up in the Media Player window, you need to turn on Media Sharing on the Windows 10 PC.

Open the start menu, and type "Control" to find the Control Panel.

In the Control Panel, type in the upper right corner "Media"

Under "Network and Sharing Center" should be a link to the "Media Streaming Options".

If necessary, enable Media Streaming and make sure your Xbox 360 is running.

You should then see the Xbox 360 in the list of available devices. Allow the Xbox 360 to access your PC's Media Library.

Now, on your Xbox 360, start the Music Player, Photo Viewer or Video player, and as source choose your PC from the list.

You should then see the media that your PC shares to your local network.
