Hello!

I'm an independent advisor and a member of the Xbox Community.

I will be glad to help you.

If you are referring to the use of Windows Media Center, unfortunately this application is no longer available or working on Xbox 360 since 7 years ago, you can find more information about it in this link:

Best Regards.

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.

Hey there Dopier,

Seems you have no access to your media player for streaming your movies music and images. Even with some add-ons its indeed a possibility to watch those on your TV.

Here is some info how to setup your PC with your Xbox 360.

And after that, you have to fill in that code into your media center on your PC.
