Emby and Xbox One as a DLNA device


Recommended Posts

Posted

just wondering if anyone else using Xbox One has noticed that, despite the console being active on the network, Emby will not recognize it as a DLNA "cast-able" device?

 

It use to show up in the casting list, but is not available anymore. 

 

My Pixel phone finds it okay, which lead me to believe it may be Emby specific.

I tested it a month or so ago and it was fine. I'll have to try it again.

Yes, that's the issue I'm experiencing.

 

Thanks for confirming.

I used it last night, and I found mine on the list and steamed to it just fine.

 

A couple of things though - about 2 weeks ago, I had to stream to my TV because the XBox in the living room didn't show up, despite being on and used for the previous 2 hours. Conversely, I am in my office, and the Xbox has been off for a while, but it still shows up. I have my discovery set to (I assume the default) 60 seconds.

Thanks for the feedback.

One thing I am using Emby for is to serve up images/backgrounds for my Xbox One X. Using the 'media player' app, I can choose my emby server and choose a JPG in a folder to set as a background. However, despite them being 4K/high res jpegs with large pixel size, emby only shows them as pixelated, and I choose to set one as a background for my xbox console, the image is also pixellated there as well.
