Play To xbox one via WP8

[Jon Arild Aanestad]

Is it possible to play music from my phone to my xbox one? With apple TV it is possible to play video and music directly to the big screen, but I can'tseem to find out how to do this on windows phone.

I can't speak for the One but with the 360 it needs to be on the home screen, and all you do is load up Play To on the phone and choose the xbox as the device. Should be the same for the One.

So what you mean is that the music app on XBO needs to be running? As for the play to button, I can't see it anywhere on my phone..

Just switch your xbox on and leave it on that screen. Launch* the Play To app on your phone. It should list any compatible devices it finds. If it finds the xbox, pick it and start playing stuff on your phone.

*Download if you need to as well

I can't find any play to apps. Any suggestions?

I've used Nokia PlayTo to play songs to the Xbox One, but I don't know if theres any way to do it from Xbox Music per se

I'm stuck on HTC 8x, and so I can't use the Nokia app. Which is a bummer.

I've used Nokia Play to to play music on my 360, although it doesn't play when I only have server/cloud music Pass tracks on my 1020 --I get a format cannot/error message. It plays when I have only WMA and mp3 tracks, and I guessed it was a DRM limitation. I also tried using SmartGlass at first, but it could never "find my console", although the 360 settings were On appropriately, and the 1020 did "see" the 360 on the network. I guessed that I needed Xbox Live Gold, but I just found the Play to and never pursued SmartGlass. There is a SmartGlass for the One, and isn't that another option?

I use the 360 almost exclusively as a Windows Media Center extender, but my music did sound amazing playing through the Xbox.
