One cast streaming

JHTechnique · Jan 21, 2022

Hello, I’ve been trying to connect my Xbox to one cast on my MacBook, but when searching for xbox connections it can’t find my xbox. I have allowed new connections in settings and ticked the boxes next to it and also when I manually type my IP address in my Xbox can still not be found.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi JHTechnique,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums! Because OneCast is a third-party application we do not have troubleshooting steps on hand. Have you reached out to OneCast support concerning your issue to verify that your console is supported by the software?

Hi Charles you can watch movies with the Microsoft Movies and TV app on your device. Also you can stream media by casting it to a device.

Hi again. I wish you could explain to me how to do this. My TV displays our cable on HDMI1. We have our Google Chromecast device connected to HDMI2. When we want to stream content from our phones or laptops, we switch the TV to HDMI2, and the streaming apps connect automatically. When I try to stream this Microsoft movie (Sorcerer, 1977) to the Chromecast on HDMI2, it says it can't connect. Likewise, just trying to cast it to the TV via HDMI1 does not connect, either. The only other ports available are InputAV1 and InputComponent, neither of which have a device connected, but the movie will not connect or cast to either of those. Please help me to be able to cast this movie from my Surface laptop to my Chromecast (in HDMI2 port on Samsung Smart TV). Also, is there any way I can access the movie on my Samsung S21 smart phone?

This is happening to me also, Ironically the October 2015 update supposedly had a fix for this. It's January 21st 2016 and still an issue, a really annoying one. I'd also like to add that streaming to xbox one from PC has gotten more and more difficult as
I've installed "better" versions of windows. Windows 7 streamed perfectly, 8.1 started having connection issues every so often, and now with windows 10 I HAVE to restart both the PC and xbox one (sometimes twice on Xbox one) to get it to stream at all. And
even then ii'll get sound on the screen with the "connecting" loading circle being the only thing shown on screen until I X out of the cast to device box on pc and re-cast to xbox one. I shouldn't have to downgrade to windows 7 for a feature to work as intended.

Are you streaming/casting media from a pc or phone to your Xbox? The Xbox does not differentiate between network traffic and actual internet use.
