Luke 37106 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Luke, how can the Xbox direct play a file if the library is pointing to c:\ with no path substitution? It wouldn't have access to the file. dlna streams through the server, and all of our clients are capable of doing that too. so there's really no need to force that requirement on everyone.

parrotheadcubs 9 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hi all. I'm using the Xbox One to play my movies. The xbox shows up under the play to option. I select it for DLNA. It takes me to Xbox video as it should. And then it just sits there connecting. I had an issue recently when I restarted router/modem and couldn't connect. Got that squared away when I pointed the server back to the right IP address. Any idea why it's not playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techywarrior 688 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Is your media library (in the server setup) using UNC paths or c:\ etc.? It should be UNC paths so that remote clients can properly access the files for direct play. If you didn't then you can use path substitution. Also make sure the media is accessible over the network via the UNC path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also make sure the media is accessible over the network via the UNC path. They are currently under c:/ (in this case i:/). I'm currently on the web client at work and videos are playing just fine. It was just at home when I chose the Xbox as the DLNA. I access through Internet Explorer obviously. Click play, it pops up Xbox video as it should, and then just spins and keeps showing "connecting." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I choose the Xbox system as my play to option. I click play on a move and it takes me to the video app as it should. Normally it would play immediately. Now it just rotates and says connecting. It never plays the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotheadcubs 9 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Well now it's working. It's just stalling a lot. I might need to restart my server PC. But at least the movies are playing again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotheadcubs 9 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I just tested and I'm getting 54 mob download speed on my xbox. Every movie is stalling every 20 seconds when using it as doña through internet explorer. If I try to just play it through the internet it just closes. Incredibly frustrating. Any thoughts?
