Xbox One keeps disappearing from Play To device list on Windows 8

Hello! I would also post here for anything related to the preview program.

Hi buddy,

I had the same trouble. I found that going into my router settings and reserving IP's to all my devices helped significantly. Also, having at least one of the devices wired unless you're using AC helps a bunch.

Depending on your laptops specs, it can take a while to boot the relevant drivers too.

My issue has disappeared, I can now stream using the "devices, play" feature on any of my Windows 8 computers or tablet. Not sure if something was fixed or it just started working for no reason. Love the ability to control the movie from the tablet though.

Hello markdorons,

I hope this helps!

Overview

With an Xbox Music Pass subscription, you can download, stream, and listen to as many songs from the Xbox Music store as you want, as often as you want.

Associate up to four devices with your Xbox Music Pass

Your Xbox Music Pass allows you to download and sync items to a combination of four different devices which has the Xbox Music App. (This includes Windows 8 computers, tablets, Xbox 360 consoles, or Windows Phone 8 devices.) For example, you can download
music to your work computer, a laptop, a tablet device, and a Windows Phone 8. Or you can download music to one computer and then sync that music to a Windows Phone 8, Xbox 360 console, and another computer.

Once you've downloaded or synced music from your Xbox Music Pass to a computer or device, that computer or device will be associated with your Xbox Music Pass for at least 30 days.

If you want to change the computers or devices that are associated with your Xbox Music Pass (for example, say you replace your home computer), you can swap out a computer or device every 30 days.

Notes

• You can only use your Xbox Music Pass on Windows Phone 8 devices that use your Microsoft account.
  
• Xbox Music Pass is designed for a single user. If other members of your household have Windows Phone 8 devices, their own Microsoft accounts will be associated with their phones and, therefore, they would need their own Xbox Music Passes.
