Xbox Streaming App from Console - 1080p?

Output from Streaming is 1080p

The disc must physically be in the drive contained in a console to work.

Ye you'd be pretty much destroying any benefit you get from it being 4K as I doubt the streaming app would stream at native 4k, more like 1080p

I can answer my own question here that the Xbox One will stream at whatever resolution it is set to in the settings, so if I set the console to 720p it will stream at 720p. It isn't possible to pass a 720p signal out the HDMI output, but use a 1080p output
for streaming (unless you constantly change the settings back and forth).

The PC will scale to full screen no matter what, but 1080p looks much better than 720p on a 1080p monitor. The problem is if I set to 1080p when streaming to my PC and forget about it, then the next time when I try to use my TV I would get garbled graphics
because it can't accept the 1080p output, so I would need to go back upstairs and stream to my PC to reset the settings to 720p before I can use the TV again.

How I solved this problem was to use an HDFury 4S scaler to connect to my TV and scale the Xbox One down from 1080p to 1080i, which is the maximum resolution of my gaming TV. That allows me to keep the Xbox One console set on 1080p at all times.

Hello Krohn,

I'm an old Top Gear fan from way back. Started streaming the shows on my Xbox 360. The Grand Tour is great but, I have only streamed it on my PC. So, I have to ask: When you say Amazon and Netflix, you are referring to the Amazon and Netflix Apps running
on your Xbox? And, do I understand correctly, you are not having problems with 4K streaming via the Netflix App? Then the question is, is it only The Grand Tour that streams at 1080p using the Amazon App? The Amazon App may be able to support 4K streaming,
but is it 4K content that is getting to the Xbox...?

Here's some additional details for Microsoft. I am using two xbox ones and a windows 10 pc:

- an original model xbox one connected to a 1080p tv and a wireless AC network connection

- an xbox one S connected to a 4K tv and wired networking

- windows 10 pc with a 1080p monitor and wired networking

Game streaming works perfectly to the original model xbox one with a wireless connection. From my windows 10 PC I can turn on the console, start streaming, and the resolution is great.

With the xbox one S though, even though I have a wired network connection to both the PC and that xbox, I will only be able to stream in 640x480 resolution unless I turn on the TV before I try to stream. I can also report that if I do turn on the TV first
and begin streaming in 1080p, I can then turn off the TV without affecting my 1080p streaming until I turn the xbox off.

This appears to be a bug for our particular configuration, and it's not getting any attention from Microsoft because their streaming test cases are passing. It could be a difference of original model xbox vs. xbox one S, but I'm expecting it has something
to do with the 4K display settings on the xbox, HDCP, and/or trying to stream to a lower resolution of 1080p.
