The OneGuide stream block is stupid

Chrisisanidiot · Dec 9, 2019

Dear Xbox,

You have removed access to streaming OneGuide to your PC for "copyright". Now i get what you mean by that, BUT NOBODY WAS DOING THAT. All of us streaming OneGuide to the PC were using it to record
NINTENDO SWITCH GAMEPLAY. And now we have to spend $100 dollars on a bloody capture card because you removed the one feature that was good on Xbox. So please, we are all complaining about this,

BRING BACK ONEGUIDE STREAMING TO PC!

Thanks for reading

:)

Hi, Chris - you should reach out directly to Microsoft with any suggestions. This forum is for asking questions from community members that can help answer them.

They have officially responded on reddit:

"OneGuide, including the guide, TV controls, and TV streaming, were removed from the Windows versions of the Xbox app. To use OneGuide on Windows, get the Xbox One SmartGlass app in the Windows Store. OneGuide is still part of the Xbox app on iOS and Android."

I'm trying to set up my OneGuide with my Bell Aliant FibreOp. No matter what postal code I enter it tells me "We could not find any providers in your area." I have no problem watching tv, but I can't get the OneGuide to get past that stupid postal code
issue.

ANYONE ABLE TO HELP!?!?!

Hi Nee Koh,

The information the Xbox Ambassador provided is correct and can be read from the link that was provided. Another quote from Xbox support's official support website, "Protected video and HDCP-protected content can't be streamed with game streaming.
This includes protected HDMI television content as well as the content from many media applications." https://support.xbox.com/games/game-setup/how-to-use-game-streaming

This means that some content you try viewing through OneGuide or any other media app while game streaming can be blocked by the owners of that media content through HDCP digital copy protection. We cannot answer how you or your friends were able to
do it before, but I suggest you don't try it anymore as that would violate the
Microsoft Services Agreement and the digital protection rights of the media content you are trying to stream across connections. It's best to just use OneGuide or other media streaming apps on the Xbox One console as was intended.

As such we will be locking this thread. If you have any other questions or concerns please create a new thread. Thank you for understanding, have a great day!

Yes it will work with the One X Console. The Xbox One Media Remote lets you control video playback for Blu-ray movies and streaming video on Xbox One*. Additionally, there are dedicated Back and OneGuide buttons.
The OneGuide button provides one-touch, quick access to your favorite TV shows and movies through the Xbox program guide
