zerolimit Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I found this yesterday and was amazed! Unfortunately it only works with Windows 8 tablets unless someone here knows a IOS Or android version. enjoy guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hmm... it's nice but still requires a second device. I think I prefer the MediaBrowser3 solution with IE better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saasn Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 You can do this with Youtube on a Xbox 360 with a Android device. I can't see any reason why this couldn't work with a Android device unless Microsoft prevents it to sell more Windows 8 tablets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkMan Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 i wish i could get this to work on iOS device. Can't get it to work! :( Unfortunately Apple prefers to make their own standards instead of using existing fully workng standards that everyone else uses. Though I believe there are iOS video players who support their own built in DLNA play to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwizard88 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Is it using play to, or xbox video where it just tells the xbox one to play the selected video off of xbox video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm not sure I get this.. is XBMC installed on another device and are you using the remote app on your surface to control it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yeah this is an intermediary solution so essentially... The guy has a media server, the surface pro 2 is connecting to the media server via xbmc second screen (the benefit here is you get access to your entire xbmc library and media management, vastly better than anything available in the default window video app), the surface pro 2 is then pushing it to the Xbox1 which is connected to the tv and you get the display on the tv. If he had a networked DLNA compliant tv he could cut out the middle man and wouldn't need the xbox1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niekess Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm not sure I get this.. is XBMC installed on another device and are you using the remote app on your surface to control it? It's installed on another device. The app won't work with XBMC installation's on the same machine. I do like this way though but I don't have a second device I can use. (Got Xbox One and Surface Pro, nothing more.) Does anyone know if XBMC will work if I do this in a virtual machine? This might be the solution for me or I must buy a cheap computer with a big HDD..

I would recomend that app he is using. Have you tried the different XBMC apps that are listed on the bottom of the page you listed?

George P Global Moderator Posted December 30, 2013 Global Moderator Share Posted December 30, 2013 Any DLNA app can do this, the XB1 supports it just fine with the Play To option. Xbox Music and Video should work the same way as well. They'll just need to update the XB1 to add support for connecting to your devices via either network shares or the default media server system and then you won't really need a 3rd party app unless you want to play some files like mkv or flac that I'm pretty sure the native XB1 apps won't play locally. So you'll have to stream/transcode from your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woelfel Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The cool thing that I learned with this (that I didn't know, and it probably will work with my 360 as well) is using an Windows 8 device, if I go to IE (either version) and open up ANY flash video and full screen it, you can use the charms to play to the Xbox One. If it's not full screen it won't work (through the testing I've done, it may show an image, or it won't be able to show anything). Very useful if you are streaming something.
