    Windows 8.1 not seeing XBox One

    Didn't see this anywhere in anyone else responses and it just worked for me after all else failed (windows 8.1). My computer for some reason didn't have my internet connection set up as the homegroup. Made my connection the homegroup and boom works like
    a charm (a lot of the other stuff said here is still required like the xbox setting stuff). Just go to the network and sharing center on your computer (rightclick the wifi icon on the right of the taskbar) and click "homegroup" (bottom-left corner of the menu).
    It will tell you if you don't have your connection as the homegroup there and will also give you a one-click option to make it the homegroup.

    Media Files Not Found

    This thread came up in a search, so I thought I would share how I managed to get the xbox one to recognize media files in a Windows 8.1 computer. You need to add/share the media libraries to the homegroup. The steps are:

    Goto Control Panel -> click on 'Choose homegroup and sharing options'

    Select 'Change what you're sharing with the homegroup'

    Ensure Pictures, Videos, and Music have 'Shared' selected, then click next. Click finished.

    Xbox one should see the media folders now--at least it did for me. I don't remember having to go through these steps with Windows 7.

    Connection failure

    How exactly are you unable to connect to your WiFi?

    Do you get a specific error message? Does your WiFi SSID (network name) not show up?

    Is the Xbox One connected to the WiFi but does not connect to the Internet?

    What network hardware are you using?

    Windows 8/Smartglass/Xbox video "Play to"

    Dang it! I did already have a homegroup set up, with sharing on (for everything but documents), and the xbox still doesn't show up in my devices. I connected to the xbox via smartglass, used the controller feature to double check the connection, and then
    Alt+tab into devices and had it scan, and still nothing!
