  1. Remote play only works if I turn on the xbox manually


    Xbox series X and my iphone are on the same network, xbox is set to instant on but the phone app will not connect (to use remote control or to use remote play) unless i turn the xbox on manually, which defeats the purpose of remote play. I’ve made sure the iphone network settings are correct and have read through previous threads of others with the same issue, but have had no success in fixing the problem. Please help! This has been a problem through several xbox updates and ios updates.

    Remote Play only works if I manually power on the xbox

    Hi SelArom, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    We can start by investigating the network.

    You can also change your connection DNS.

    Please, follow these steps:

    Go to Profile and System > Settings

    In the Settings menu, select General > Network settings.

    Select the network you're connected to, then select Advanced settings > Manual

    On the DNS field, input these:

    Primary: 8.8.8.8

    Secondary: 8.8.4.4

    Save settings.

    Let me know if it works!

    Harmony Remote support with Xbox One?

    If you are using an RF remote, on the remote manually go to "Settings: Devices: Hub Assignment" and try setting Xbox One to "Remote Only". That immediately fixed the soft buttons for me, but then the power wouldn't work until going through a few power cycles
    on the remote, including turning everything off when in the "Help (not everything turned on)" setup.

    PC to XSX Remote Play - console turns on, only see a black screen, disconnects 1 min later

    I'm having the same issue.

    but I figured something about this.

    When TV that connected to XBOX is turned on. remote play works.

    but when TV is turned off. remote play is not working.

    if I turn on my TV first, then remote play from my PC . it works perfectly.

    then if I turn off my TV. suddenly Remote play become very unstable and stuttering.

    and it disconnected automatically in a minute.

    I tested wireless and wired , both behaves same.

    and most importantly , this issue not reproducing iPhone and android phone remote play.

    mobile phone remote play works perfectly no matter TV is turned on or not.

    - Open the Xbox Guide by pressing the guide button on the controller and select Settings.

    - Select Network Settings.

    - Select Advanced Settings.

    - Under Change Settings select Alternate MAC Address.

    - Select Clear.

    - Allow the console to restart when prompted.

    Wow you are right! I recreated this behavior exactly.

    It would appear that PC Remote Play has some dependency on the XBox's TV being on. This is a great find @DaewooKim1!
