    Windows 10 cast to Xbox One has broken performance


    What I'm trying to do:

    Play a 10minute 720p video on My Xbox One.

    It's a nice lossless video of a deepzoom fractal and will look beautiful on a 70" TV.

    .

    I play the video on my Windows 10 PC (where it works fine) and cast it to the Xbox one.

    The performance is so horrible that it's essentially broken. Audio will play. Video is a reduced resolution (blurry) slideshow with a new slide maybe every 10-30 seconds.

    The PC playing is relatively high end (4.3Ghz yada, yada).

    The network is hardwired gigabit Ethernet.

    Smaller videos play a bit better but not much. To get it to really play right I have to get down to just a few megabytes.

    .

    Other things that don't work:

    Playing the same video from OneDrive (despite tested 80-100mbit internet connection that should be able to do 720p without breaking a sweat).

    Copying the video to a Blu-Ray and playing (Xbox One will not play BD-R discs by deliberate design).

    I'm very frustrated.

    :)

    Cast to Device not working

    Now that Windows 10 has arrived on Xbox One the 'Cast to Device' functionality has disappeared. I have tried to connect from several boxes running Win 10 and Win 8.1. All of them can see the Xbox on the network but clicking on the device in 'Cast to Device'
    does not bring up the Media Streaming popup so nothing is streamed!

    Really frustrating - hope there is a fix in the pipeline...

    Windows 10 cast to Xbox One has broken performance

    Solution found: Do not open the video on Windows 10 and then cast to the xbox one. Instead enable DLNA on Windows 10, then right click and case the file directly from file explorer. Works almost flawlessly.

    Bug: Xbox Windows Media Player cant cast audio

    I am not ready to upgrade to windows 11. Cast has always worked on windows 10 and now after an update to the Xbox Console (to replace groove music with Windows Media Player) cast no longer works. Note, this isn't isolated to my windows 10 devices. No UPnP devices (Android, IOS, etc) are able to cast to the Xbox One console.

    Xbox "cast to device" from PC Windows 10 no longer works.

    Hey everyone,

    Just to clarify, are you posting in regards to playing files from your PC and streaming them to your Xbox One console over DLNA, or are you posting in regards to casting your Windows 10 display over to your Xbox One console via the Wireless Display app?

    Casting from Windows 10 to Xbox One is a feature made available to our Xbox Insiders through the Wireless Display app, which has not been made available to everyone quite yet. If you're a member of the

    Xbox Insider program
    , be sure to post in our Xbox Insider forums for further assistance with that specific feature.

    Keep us posted!

    Windows 10 not casting to new Xbox One

    On the Xbox one that is having trouble with streaming (I suggest renaming each console to keep the names unique to the console) it is possible that there could be conflicts with multiple Xboxes with the same stream to name. Go to setting>console and go to
    the console name (usually is XBOXONE) and rename it. Restart the console and go to your computer with Windows 10 on it (I suggest leave the computer ON and running when you rename the console) and check under the network folder to see if the console shows
    up. Also go to settings>devices>connected devices>play devices to see if the console shows up there too. If not, add the device.

    Another thing to check in the network folder is the media devices (you might have to go into Windows media player to set it up to stream) to see if it shows up there too. If it shows up in other devices, but not also in media devices (it needs to show up
    in both places), you need to factory reset the console (and repeat the above steps) while the computer is on and running. When you have multiple Xboxes on one network, the router becomes the roadblock and often conflicts with the console main web address,
    which when both boxes are connected the router can't tell which one is which, except when the console name is different.

    Windows 11 can't cast to Xbox Series X

    Ok, but isn't my laptop using miracast services to cast to other devices? It should be possible to do it between my laptop and console, and there are various examples demonstrating this (although from what I've found it's casting windows 10 to an xbox one)

    On the Microsoft Store for the Wireless Display App, it says "Microsoft's Wireless Display app lets you wirelessly project your Windows or Android based devices to your Xbox One".
