XBOX One Support?

**scottier** · 12-19-2013, 02:59 PM

So.... New XBOX One for Christmas. Unfortunately the wife will not let me plug it in until Christmas LOL. Question is has anyone had a chance to test mezzmo with xbox one? XBox 360 was extremely limited in media it supported. I'm really hoping Microsoft pulled their head out their rear and included more media formats it can support without the need to transcode.

I just set mine up and there have been some problems. XBOX One supports DLNA but cannot initiate a DLNA session with the server on its own, nor can it browse a shared media library. I have been using a third party smartphone app called Skifta to initiate the stream between the XB1 and the DLNA server, that has worked well but will not work with Mezzmo. My XB1 does not show up in the listed media devices in Mezzmo. I would really like Mezzmo to solve this issue as I just purchased a license a few days ago and can't use it with my XB1. I have been using Serviio instead.

We do not have an Xbox One as yet. Hopefully we'll get one for Christmas

and make sure all is working next month. My understanding is that current DLNA support in the Xbox One is limited to 'Play To' features - i.e. you need to use a DLNA DMC (digital media controller) to push content to the Xbox One and it will play it. I assume Microsoft will improve upon this next year with firmware updates or there will be third-party media player apps that you can install on the Xbox One that provide better DLNA playing capabilities.

Next month, we'll be releasing our Mezzmo Android app and you will be able to use it to browse your Mezzmo library and push files to your devices in your home - such as your Xbox One. I suggest you use it rather than Skifta since it will work really well with your Mezzmo library.

Great! Hopefully it will work even better than BubbleUPnP.

So far in our testing, it is working real well.

Will there be a Windows version in the future ?

You do mean a Windows Phone 8 version? We'd certainly like to create both iOS and Windows mobile apps as well. We just need to prioritize our development plans for 2014.

I meant a Windows PC version. I know Microsoft has some of the DMC capability built into WMP running on Windows 7 and 8 but WMP is a terrible DLNA "browser" in that it doesn't understand folders, doesn't display metadata etc..

Well okay. Not the answer I was hoping for but it is progress. Thanks Paul for all you and your team does!

Understand. Yes - we will put DMC capabilities into a future version of the Mezzmo application so you can push media files to your devices from your PC.
