HDMI Input on Xbox One - Windows PC

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

[quote user="DawnRenee88"]Desktop pc windows 8 with hdmi port in the back of the pc but not on the monitor.[/quote]Which make and model of PC?



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.

 

hang in there i think they got some good stuff in store for xboxone
