Xbox One Xbox one streaming help !!

[Gomez2121]

Hi everyone I'm new to the forum so if this is in the wrong place I'm sorry. I've been trying to figure out how to stream movies from my Samsung S5 to my xbox one but I'm struggling. I've downloaded the video and media players on the xbox and I've tried a few apps on my phone including all cast and imedia share. All cast works fine for music but not video and imedia share gives me an error message when trying to buffer the movie. I've also had trouble trying to watch you tube on the xbox via my phone when I use the app direct on the xbox in works fine but when I try sending it from my phone it doesn't work. This makes me think are the settings on my xbox not correct or is it to do with my home hub I've got a bt infinity home hub 5 if that helps. Any advice would be appreciated Thanks for reading.

i am not sure microsoft has turned on or opened up the streaming to the xb1 thru smarglass or thru a phone.. i think it has to directly be pulled thru a usb or a usb inserted into the xb1..

Use the new Plex app. I can watch everyone that is on my computer on the Xbox One. There is a Plex app for the S5 too just connect it to Xbox One.
