Play Movies from PC to Xbox One

Hello,

Currently I am able to use windows media center from my pc to play home videos and stuff through my 360 as a extender. Will there be a way to do this on the xbox one? I understand that windows media center will not be available as an extender on the xbox one. So my question is, can I still stream videos that are in my shared folder on my PC through the xbox one to my TV in a far away room?

 

Thanks!

Honestly? It hasn't been said by MS whether you'll be able to do this or not, having said that, I'd be really surprised if you couldn't. I mean you can do that now on the 360 without media center so I'd say it'll be the same on the One

How do you do it without using windows media center? That is how I have always used it. Not to mention, do you need windows 8 on your pc to do it with the xbox one if it is in fact possible.

The individual music or video apps on the 360 can access networked stuff. I can't remember the exact process off the top of my head. But I've streamed stuff (music in particular) without using media center

for movies, music, videos, pictures, etc, its pretty simple. you just tell the x1 to look in a folder shared on the network. as far as the x1 is concerned it should be no different then if the files were locally stored on the hdd. but as favious has stated, ms have not discussed this feature at all. so it may not be available at launch.

it becomes a bit more complicated when streaming content from a tv tuner on a pc.

fortunately with ms wanting to expand their metro ecosystem they allow third party apps. there are apps for this type of thing on windows 8 and windows 8 phone, so it shouldnt be long for them to be released on x1.
