    PlayTo from Windows 8.1


    So I've enabled the option on XBox One "allow Playto streaming", but when I'm in XBox Music on Windows 8.1 and go to the Device charm, nothing appears. What am I doing wrong?

    :)

    DLNA playto is only visible after PC reboot?

    Anyone have an issue where the DLNA playto feature is only visible after rebooting the PC? It seems like Windows Media Player can see the xbox under Stream -> More streaming options... but the playto option does not appear in the File Explorer right click
    context menu or under the Play to menu of the media player Play tab. However if I reboot it will work fine.

    Is there anyway to coax the media player into seeing the xbox one at this state?

    edit: The PC is running full updated Windows 8.1 Pro.

    Windows 8.1 not seeing XBox One

    The Xbox One is a not a DLNA DMR unless you install the Xbox Music and the Xbox Video apps on it from the market store. Once you did that, it should be discovered and you can do PlayTo scenarios against it.

    However, sometimes (especially when you update your OS from 8 to 8.1 and the device was discovered by Win8) the device does not get populated in the charm or classic PlayTo menu. To overcome this, you need to go to Classic Control Panel-->Devices and Printers
    and look for your XboxOne device in that list. Remove any entry for Xboxone and choose again Add a Device after this. Your PC should discover the XboxOne now and it should be able to pair it. Then the PlayTo will work.

    No, you cannot do this.

    However, you can stream music from your PC using the PlayTo feature in Windows Media Player.
