Stream from NAS to XBOX ONE X?

Michael_Sharman · Dec 1, 2018

I used KODI on an Nvidia Shield to stream movies that I had stored on my Seagate Black Armour NAS, which worked fine.

I've since replaced the Shield with an XBOX ONE X and installed KODI just like I did on the shield. The trouble is on the XBOX, KODI sees the NAS ip address but won't let me add it as a video source.

So the question is how do I access and play videos files on a NAS using my XBOX ONE X?

Nas drive

The Xbox One doesn't have a build-in System Video Player for browsing the content on a Nas drive. However, you can use the PlayTo functionality on a Windows 8 computer to play the music and video file from NAS to Xbox One. I followed the how
to stream music from NAS to Xbox One tips and it worked fine. Hope it also useful for you

Access my iMac photos / iTunes music on Xbox one?

I wish they'd just include DLNA streaming on Xbox one - then you could stream from iTunes, a NAS media server, or whatever.

Hi there,

since this question is specific to a certain App, which isn't owned/produced by Xbox/Microsoft as far as I know, it might be best to seek support in the Kodi specific forums on the following link, which is already a bit related to your issue. see the forums

All I want to do with my XBOX and NAS is browse the folders located on the NAS and use the XBOX to play the movie via my home network. I've tried browsing folders using my XBOX ONE X, but all I see is folders and files actually located on the XBOX. How
do I use my XBOX ONE X to browse my local network and play a movie from my NAS?

@whitey...if you have a smart phone you can download a program called "bubbleupnp" and that will allow you to stream the movies over to your xbox one from your NAS.
