    XBOX One media centre extender

    Does anyone know if the "ONE" can be used as a media centre extender with windows 7 or 8?

    hi I am trying to connect my xbox to the windows media centre, but it won't configure the extender - keeps encountering an error. I've changed the network list settings as per web advice, but this has not seemed to resolve it.

    connecting 2 windows media

    what have you tried it should be simple enough to just open media centre on your pc/laptop then clicking add media extender, open media centre on console then enter the 8 digit number on media centre.

    HD Video Not Playing in XBox Media Center

    Hi Prosecutor Z,



    When you set up the Windows Media Center Extender, did you uninstall the Windows Media Center Extender

    as described here     and they try setting it up again? Also, do these movies show cover art when in the int Media Center or is it not displaying artwork in either app? And when playing these videos through the Media Center app, are you on a wired or wireless
    connection? Do you notice a difference through various connection setups? Let us know. Thanks.

    Media Center Extender???

    Ditto, love Windows Media Centre and hoping the XBox One can replace the Xbox 360 as an extender, or better, as above have it integrated into the Xbox One. Microsoft - please advise ASAP.
