    Windows 8.1 cannot find xbox one to use video app with


    I started using my PC's video app to watch movies on my TV through my xbox last week. However after the first 2 movies, my computer has been unable to find the device, despite the smartglass app being connected to the xbox. I have no idea what the issue
    is here and every other post with this problem has no solution that works for me.

    :)

    Xbox One can run Windows 8.1's new universal apps

    CAN run. CAN. Not "will."
    PLEASE don't everyone totally freak out about this. Understand that there is a "Universal apps" thing Microsoft is working on, to make it easy to develop apps that run across Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, and Xbox One.
    I cannot stress this enough: This does NOT mean that all those apps in the Windows Store will suddenly show up on your Xbox One.
    What this does mean is that developers will be able to deploy an app to Windows, Windows Phone, and Xbox from a common code base. They'll have to make the interface different for the phone (portrait), windows (landscape), and TV (10-foot UI). They'll have to account for controllers and Kinect.

    Xbox Video app for WP8/8.1 and Personal Videos

    @IRB, wrong OS. I wasn't talking about the Windows 8/8.1 app. I'm talking about the Windows PHONE 8.1 app not indexing the video in the Windows PHONE camera roll.

    Hi,

    It is possible that there might be an interference with both of your device's connection settings. For us to isolate the main issue, we suggest that you try changing your Xbox's default name in the Xbox settings which usually resolves cases like this. If
    the same issue persists, please make sure to clear all connected devices on your app. Once done, restart your router and reconnect both of your laptop and Xbox to the WiFi network. Lastly, try adding the device manually via PC settings and it should work properly.

    Let us know how it goes after performing the aforementioned solutions. We'd be glad to further assist you.

    XBox video Failed to sync to account, now am stuck

    Can you clarify which two episodes are not working correctly?

    You'll use the Xbox Video app on your Windows 8.1 PC to watch the content, are the two episodes not appearing in that app? Can you refreshing your purchases from within the settings menu of the Xbox Video app?

    You can't download the Movies & TV app onto Windows 8.1 devices, so the issue that you're seeing with that is by design. It's for Windows 10 devices.

    No System Video Player on Xbox One?

    Xbox One is DNA and PlayReady compliant so you should be able to use applications that support these protocols to stream from your PC. In addition, Windows 8.1 directly supports playing video to the Xbox One using the Devices Charm. (Charms bar > Devices
    > Play > Choose Xbox One). You must be in a video application on Windows 8.1 in order to work. This does not function with Desktop applications or previous versions of Windows. There are probably other applications out there that can enable this functionality
    for non-Windows 8.1 operating systems.
