Streaming switch games from xbox

Yep, they made the switch from ustream. Hilarious, actually, that they were fine with a non gaming centric streaming service until MS showed up with THE gaming streaming service.

I run ethernet from my Xbox to my Modem and then either stream from my PC via ethernet or my Surface wireless. Each work pretty well for games that are not online. I think Microsoft still needs to work on being able to stream and play online at the same
time.

When you switch your Xbox to ethernet, generally you have to go into the network settings and make sure it switch over. The system will get a new IP address from your modem/router. The PC will normally make the switch automatically but it never hurts to
check.

Also, write down the IP address of the Xbox. The companion app to stream may need it the first time you connect.

Hi Downfallexpress,

At present no info can be said for switch, other than we can expect an Xbox game pass service being available to stream games from the switch as Xbox live has already been confirmed. We should expect to hear more from both Microsoft and Nintendo about this
venture come E3 in June however.

I made the switch from PC to Xbox 360 back in the day, and stayed with Xbox the entire time. I do have a gaming PC and laptop now, but its used for streaming my xbox content.

Hi MQ,

Thanks for coming back to me.

So, I have a fully wired LAN, all devices are connected to it.

I have a router\modem connected to the main switch through an internal gbit switch port.

I am able to stream 4k TV from the Internet and 4k video from my media server without any issues. I realise video streaming probably uses a cache, and game streaming probably wouldn't work with a cache. I can transfer files at close to the max speed and
I only have speed issues with XBOX streaming.

I cannot connect all devices straight to the modem as it is a 5 port internal switch and I use a 16 port unmanaged switch.

My question to you is this... Does the streaming traffic have to go through my modem in to the XBOX Live servers before making back it to my PC? If it does not then it does not make sense that my router\modem would cause an issue as the traffic never reaches
the router\modem.

So, unless you are suggesting that streaming only work between a directly connected xbox and W10 PC, which would be crazy, then I don't understand how a gbit switch can bring the download only (not upload) speed down to 1.15 Mbit and cause streaming issues.

Unless you are saying I need a managed switch with higher throughput, which is massively expensive, and probably overkill for a home setup.

Last, I may have forgotten to mention that all devices are connected to the main switch, the XBOX too, and I don't have any issues on it when not streaming.

Thx

Peter
