Solved: start streaming and login remote

Just to share for other people...

A while ago I had the following question:

"If I want to stream a game from my Xbox One to the PC, I still need to login to my account on the Xbox One. I can wake up the Xbox One from my PC, but I cannot login to my own account. Is
that possible? Or do I always have to login to my Xbox One?"

Today I was able to solve it myself: start the XBox app on an Android phone, login to the account, connect to the XBox One and you're logged in! Then you can start streaming from the XBox Companion app from the PC. Great!

Have another question though: it is stated that the XBox Companion app is being replaced by the new XBox app on PC, but I don't see any streaming options in the new app.... are these available?

:)

I would say look on YouTube lots of info on there

Even on streaming in the new XBox app?

Ain't that counterproductive? I'd have to turn it back on to turn my tv and receiver on when I'm using my xbox. I figured the Xbox was smart enough to decide that for me when I'm remote streaming or actually using my xbox to play games. There should be a way to implement both settings for when I use my xbox controller or the button on my xbox to turn on my TV and receiver along with my xbox and when using my xbox app on my ally x to only turn on and off my xbox when remote streaming.

you need to turn off HDMI-CEC

No that's not how it works, it's a hardware function that is part of the startup routine. It's either on or it's off

That goes for everything with this function
