HDMI Input on Xbox One - Windows PC

SangNaga · Apr 8, 2014

I have XBMC setup on a computer next to my TV and I just got an Xbox One.

I would like to have the computer go through the Xbox one so I can say something like "Xbox, go to HDMI input" and have the computer screen show up.

Then I can use XBMC remote on my phone / tablet and I never have to use a normal remote.

I have been unable to get this to work.

I contacted support and they said that even though it was previously announced that Xbox 360, PlayStation, PC, etc could use the Xbox One as a pass through, that feature was pulled prior to launch and if a cable signal is not detected over the HDMI input
then it will not display the content.

This is a huge disappointment, so I wanted to check the forums to see if anyone else has been able to get a simple HDMI pass through to work.

Thanks in advance.

Help connecting XBOX 360 to desktop computer

All-in-one PCs sometimes provide an HDMI input that allows for external sources to be displayed on the AIO's monitor. That may work.

HDMI ports on the back of a PC case (separate from the display) are typically outputs, not inputs.

can the xbox one turn my tv on aswell?

I'm curious about the best way to set this up with a HDTV, Windows PC via HDMI and an AV Receiver that has one HDMI output with four HDMI inputs.

You can hook your Xbox One up to a PC if it has an HDMI input.

Hi,

You can't. You can connect Xbox 360's to monitors that have HDMI inputs, but you can't connect them to the PC directly as PC HDMI connectors are outputs only. The same is true for Laptop HDMI inputs.

If you have a PC monitor you're in luck. Otherwise it's going to be TV only.

If your PC is one of those all-in-one PCs with the computer located inside of the monitor case then this won't be possible either.
