XBOX ONE MEDIA PLAYER CANNOT FIND FILES ON WINDOWS 10

While you can't use Media Center with Windows 10 (as Windows 10 doesn't have Media Center anymore), you can still stream music, videos and pictures to your Xbox 360 via DLNA.

To set that up, start the Windows Media Player on your Windows 10 PC, and make sure the Media Player has access to your media files. Usually, Media Player looks for that under "Users\[YOUR USERNAME HERE]\[Pictures | Music | Videos]"

If you use different folders or drives for your media library, you need to add those folders and drives to the Media Player's library.

If your media shows up in the Media Player window, you need to turn on Media Sharing on the Windows 10 PC.

Open the start menu, and type "Control" to find the Control Panel.

In the Control Panel, type in the upper right corner "Media"

Under "Network and Sharing Center" should be a link to the "Media Streaming Options".

If necessary, enable Media Streaming and make sure your Xbox 360 is running.

You should then see the Xbox 360 in the list of available devices. Allow the Xbox 360 to access your PC's Media Library.

Now, on your Xbox 360, start the Music Player, Photo Viewer or Video player, and as source choose your PC from the list.

You should then see the media that your PC shares to your local network.

[quote user="SmokeDecky"]now i find i cannot access any of my media because there is no option to be able to load it[/quote]Have you tried Skifta as a way to send media from your DLNA server to the console?

Play To from Windows Media Player also works, though I find that it downgrades .mkv files to SD. mp4 files can be Play To'ed to the Xbox One without issue (at least, for standard audio/video. Haven't tried subtitles).

The Xbox (and other media devices) don't access your media files directly. Instead they use something called DLNA, which requires your PC to have indexed your media library.

Then only the index is read by the Xbox (or other media players), and according to that index, you choose the files to play.

If you moved files around, or the index became corrupted, the Xbox can't find the media files anymore.

Please start the Windows Media player on your PC, and check that in that Media Player library, your media files are shown and are working correctly.

If the Media Player can't locate your media, the Xbox 360 can't get to the media as well.

Thanks Diego, I have windows 10 pro version 1803 but I'm not sure this is a windows media player issue because I can cast to xbox from windows media player and the file does show in the wmp library. Btw, the links for troubleshooting for wmp10 give ' We
are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found.
The URL may be misspelled or the page you're looking for is no longer available.'

Also, forgot to mention, the problem files are on my pc, not the xbox hard drive. Kinda important I gues, sorry

Ok, you are using Windows 10 you should try updating to windows 11 the media player on it allows you to cast the files easier
