    How to stream video from PC to XBox One X ?


    I have a shared folder on my PC where I keep all my videos. PC name is ASUS. Share is "movies".

    PC and Xbox One X (XB1X) are on same LAN on my home network here.

    How can I display the contents of my shared PC folder on my XB1X, so I can select the file and play the video?

    I have another HTPC right next to the Xbox. The HTPC is hooked up to the same TV as the Xbox, so what I'm doing now is boot up that PC then stream the videos from the PC in the other room. (PC on other room (bedroom) is much daily workhorse... PC in the
    TV room is an older one that I just use for HTPC purposes now, and has a MASSIVELY loud set of fans in it).

    Ideally I'd like to just boot up my Xbox, find the shared folder on the PC in my bedroom, and play the videos on my Xbox and TV.

    Both PCs are running Win7 Pro.

    Ideas?

    :)

    How to stream video from PC to XBox One X ?

    Xbox does not support reading network shares, which is kinda odd considering it runs Windows and it should be able to join Homegroups created by Windows when you think about it.

    So your options are

    1) Get VLC from Xbox app store, it can read SMB network shared folder under "browse" category.

    2) Install a DLNA media server on your PC like Serviio or Mezzmo and use that to stream to Xbox stock media player which supports DLNA.

    3) Install a media server like Plex or Emby and use there clients available in the Xbox app store, to play the media that way, Plex/Emby do also double as DLNA servers too but their app clients are a better way to access the media.

    Features that need to be added - Constructive Feedback

    I'm unable to stream video from my PC to the Xbox One. I purchased 3 Xbox 360's and could stream video from my PC to all of them. Now my PC can't even see the Xbox One on the network and the Xbox One Video player doesn't see the PC. For a machine that
    is supposed to be a multimedia powerhouse and be the "One" box to connect to your TV, this is a huge oversight and disappointment.

    Anyone know how to get this to work? I want to view shared videos and images over the network and view them on the Xbox One.
