Setting up Xbox sharing on the PC

Connect the Xbox to your home network by using a network cable or, if the Xbox has a wireless adapter, using the wireless connection.

Next, make sure your computer has Windows XP Service Pack 2 or a later version of Windows (e.g., Windows Vista, 7, 8, or 10). Additionally, Windows Media Player 11 or higher must be installed on your computer.

Windows Media Player 12

With Windows Media Player 12, in the Library, find the Stream option in the menu bar (shown below). Click on Stream and select Turn on media streaming with HomeGroup. Make sure the Xbox is listed and that the Allowed check box is checked (shown below).

If media streaming is not turned on, you will receive a prompt. Once it is turned on, under Stream in Media Player, you can set up media streaming to your homegroup (home network). You are required to set up a password for your homegroup, used to connect your Xbox to the homegroup and view media content on your computer.

Windows Media Player 11

With Windows Media Player 11, go to the Library, then Media Sharing. Click the box for Share My Media and click OK. The Xbox console should show momentarily, and when it does, select Allow. Then, on your Xbox, go into the Media section and select the media to play from your computer.

Setup complete

Doing the steps above effectively turns your Xbox into a media center system, connecting your computer to your Xbox, TV, and home theater system.
