DNLA on the Xbox One

I am running the beta version of Xbox software (1410), which should be their October release.

In this beta, they have included DNLA access, so you can stream files from your computer on your XB1 using appropriate server software (like Plex Media Server)

Also .mkv files are viewable now too

dnla > pc

well if you have a windows 8 pc you could stream movies to the xbox since launch using xbox video, thats what I've been doing.

LMAO @ Xbox One.

All of this has been standard on pc.

Swee now you can dl bloodborne video and plays it on the xbone!! LOL

Sorry Mods I mistakenly posted this in System Wars .. meant to post in the Xbox forums.. can you move it for me?

wow now you can do what every single media device can!!!!

Yes, but its something that neither of the new edition game consoles could do, so its worthy of an announcement.

Sounds good, Xbox one is not just a boring indie gaming console it has much more features!

Lawl.

Finally should have been standard in all next gen consoles.

really? i mean who actually uses them for stream?

its just funny that Sony promised DNLA first but MS ends up implementing onto their console first lol.

I would like that. Currently I use my PS3 to stream, but it would be nice not having to switch to it. More of a minor convenience in my case, but I would like it.

MAYBE :D

This is for the October update... Sony could technically push something out before then

Really pumped for this. Should have been there from the start...seeing as how the 360 has been doing it for years, but still, that is one of my most requested features.

Here's to hoping. ..go for it Sony.

@regnaston: I highly doubt it but would love to be wrong about that. Nice job MS.

Are subtitles supported with MKVs?

Cool, but not important really, my TV and BD player can do that. And how much is it for a cheap little media streamer now a days anyways? I used to use my PS3 as a media streamer several years back, it worked quite well with the PS3 media server. But it's just alot better to just have a PC hooked up to the TV.
