Streaming via LAN

I have done some streaming from my xbox before. However, my question is there a way to San via LAN rather than using my internet connection? It seems a bit strange while connected on a local network why it must use an internet connection to do this. I've
used wireless router to connect LAN parties before and it seems to me it should be possible to do the same for streaming. Any ideas?

Issues with streaming media

Hello,

I am having difficulty setting my xbox to stream media from my laptop. They are connected via crossover cable, and I use the wifi on my laptop to enable the xbox to connect to live. Despite the fact that live seems to work, I cannot stream media to my xbox.
I have searched around, but so far most of what I see involves either both the xbox and the PC being connected to the router and streaming issues; or, the xbox via lan to the PC, then via lan to the router/modem; not, as I have, lan then wifi.

I have done this Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened. and it did not help.

thanks

Bas.

 

Xbox One Streaming from Xbox App to Console

I have a few questions that I couldn't find answers to in the documentation. I have an xbox one S. I have a Windows 10 PC with the xbox app and I've already added the console to my PC in the xbox app. For the "xbox app connectivity" preferences on the console
itself, it is set to "allow connections from any device" and to "allow play to streaming" and "allow game streaming to other devices".

I have two wifi networks. My phone is my primary internet connection via wifi tether. I also have an offline LAN wifi network that I use for file transfers. My thoughts are if I can use my LAN wifi network to do streaming. The signal is better and more reliable.

The xbox app on my PC doesn't seem to launch without an internet connection. Also, when I do manage to connect, I'm prompted to sign in on the console itself with my profile FIRST before establishing the stream.

My questions....

1) Is it possible to stream to the console with an offline wifi network? I.e., a wifi network without an internet connection? The documentation merely states to use a "home" network. I'm not really sure what that means--an offline network via LAN or if streaming
requires an internet connection.

2) Is it possible to stream without first having to signin on the console with my profile? Can't I do that after I open the stream? It seems kind of pointless to have a streaming feature when I have to be standing in front of the console to enable the stream
each time in the first place.

Note: I am aware that I will not be able to play online games if I use a LAN wifi network with no internet access. Most of the games I play are offline anyway so it's a cost I'm willing to embrace.

Thanks.
