swhitmore 781 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think it's a separate install on the Xbox One. I remember having to install the Video App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviefan 184 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I can play my ripped movies if I change the stream setting to 480P and 1 MBS. That kind of defeats the purpose of ripping HD movies, no? I have a wired connection to the Xbox. You'd think I could stream at a higher quality. DLNA play To is a better way to XBO right now IMO, especially if you have a wired connection. I guess it depends on your devices in the house though. My wife uses it daily for her workout videos and just uses her iPad as the remote to control what to play. Better quality and no messing with the stupid controller mouse the XBO has is her feedback. Have you tried out DLNA? My apologies if you have, not trying to beat a dead horse.

I've done Play To with the iPad running splashtop to access my PC, just not through Media Browser. I tried using the iPhone app as the remote last night but it never played to the xbox. I had the Xbox Video app open and nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Can you make a video of this?See if this works. Sound works great just not in the video. I had the Xbox video app open. Remote on with the web client and clicked play. It was instant. Didn't have to touch the settings. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=9122CAC12748494!5547&authkey=!AIVYdaGHCj0EbXo&ithint=video%2c.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't technically need to have the Xbox app "up." or open The Play To feature will actually start it. Normally I just turn the xbox on and then start the Play To when xbox is on the initial home screen. Video app will start and it will start playing then. Doesn't hurt to have it running prior, but not a necessary step either. Glad to hear it is working for you though!

swhitmore 781 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hmm, can't figure out why mines not working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviefan 184 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hmm, can't figure out why mines not working... It is because you installed the Video App . I am almost positive now that I think about it that I didn't install any Apps on my xbox at all. But seriously, so what exactly happens when you try to play the video? Nothing at all? What client are you using as a remote? What file types? Codecs? etc etc Seems like many people in these forums have it working so there has got to be something different with your setup.

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 FYI you can actually use IE on the xbox one 'play to' the xbox and launch the movie in the xbox one movie player without requiring an external app at all. Sure, it works if you have an external app, but you don't need one. And to save Luke from asking, http://youtu.be/zHXXAP98jak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never would have thought of that method but it could come in quite handy for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yay! Can you give it a meaningful title that mentions both Media Browser and Xbox One? Done. Added tags too. Not really a youtube user sorry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why the IE is such junk on the Xbox and won't launch easily when playing movies. But this is such an easy workaround and the quality is spot on. Great idea!

Yeah, I've been working with @@Luke to try and get it working. I either get a black screen after the video app loads, or the video buffers every few seconds. I've trying a few different file types. I might actually try reinstalling the video app, as it may actually be an issue with the xbox. Has your video app updated several times in the last week or so?

trooper11 63 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I need to get back into testing this myself. I'm sorry for not doing more testing for the MB team, but my schedule has been crazy for a while. I'm glad to see others are trying different options out to make it better though. When I get more time, I plan on trying to test more playback through IE.
