    Unable to Stream music from Windows 10 PC to Xbox One


    Hi Microsoft,

    I am currently unable to stream anything from my Windows 10 PC to my xbox one. This was an exceedingly easy process on my 360 but is a convoluted hot mess on the xbox one. All available instructions are to use Groove which may be one of the worst Apps I've
    ever used in my life. There seems to be no way to change the "Local Only" option, the Play To option is missing and is a sever downgrade from WMP. I have no interest in crappy Spotify/Rhaposy like music players I just want to play my music from my PC to my
    xbox one while playing. This is something my TV can do but apparently the Xbox one can't or the settings to make this work are in such a ridiculously obscure place I am unable to find it.

    Please fix this ASAP. This is a complete joke and makes me want to return my XBONE for a PS4 which I'm sure makes media streaming a whole lot easier.

    -Justin

    :)

    XBOX One Media Center

    FALSE ADVERTISING of XBOX ONE as a Media Center if one is unable to stream Music from their existing Music Libraries on Window PC. When will this be addressed?

    Streaming directly from your W10 pc isn't available for music you'll need to upload the music to your Onedrive. You will however need to use Groove Music as this is the only way that works.

    You can find more info about it here

    Thanks for the reply, but wholly crap that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. How and why did they mess up such a great streaming device. XB 360 was a legit good streaming box, and the xbone seems to be a steaming pile of crap. Its really sad that my
    TV can more easily stream music from my computer than a a system that was supposed to have designed as an all in one media center.

    It works in Plex and the built in media player. The feature doesn't exist in Groove, they want you to use Onedrive for whatever reason.

    RT 8.1 Music?. Limited 'streaming' from one PC to my Surface?

    Thank you for your answer - but...

    >>why can I only stream music from my main PC (where I have all my songs stored) to my Surface for 10 hours a month unless I buy the xbox pass subscription.

    This was not a suggestion but a question. Is it really true that playing music from my PC on my surface is considered 'streaming' and is counted against the monthly 10 hours? (question)

    #2 - so even if albums are recognized in Windows Media Player, the will not necessarily be recognized by the Windows 8.1 Music (xbox music). IF that is the case, then I certainly hope the final version of Windows 89.1 RT will be shipped with a some fully
    working music player (meaning, one that recognize all the albums) version
