Media Center stopped finding my PC for Media Streaming

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.

well besides the windows media center theres only one other way to stream movies from my PC to my xbox, an I think its called the
windows media sharing via windows media player, for some reason it shuts off about halfway through a movie and I will have to rebot my router to get my conection back not only for the xbox but my whole network. I have it running through the
windows media center now an I will see if it can play a whole movie without this problem, the only reason why i dont like the media center is that it has no options to fast forward or resume play its just stop an go from the start.

Have you tried using Windows Media Center as a means of streaming video's from your comp? You can set up WMP on both the 360 and PC so that you can see any folder containing media and have it stream to Xbox. This way you can playback video's on both your
main drive and secondary without the need to place them in public folders.

I would recommend using that method of streaming video's and then just tell WMP on PC which folders you wish to share with the Xbox. Then when you access WMP on 360, it should see every single folder you have given permission to share from the PC. Its the
way I stream video's to my 360, with no issues aside from the fact Xbox does not play MKV unless you use alternative media sharing software.

Let me know if this helps.

You can stream from your PC using the Xbox media center. Its not perfect but it works well enough to stream content stored on your PC.

Hi MR FANBOi,



Are you trying to connect your PC via the System Video Player app or are you trying to set up a Windows Media Center connection? If you see the PC listed in your System Media Player app, you can add other PC's to it but you can not disable one from showing
unless you have that PC in the description. But if you are looking for the most easy and efficient way to stream media from the PC to the Xbox, the Windows Media Center Extender is the way to go with these easy steps over

here. Have you tried that out? Let us know. Thanks!
