There are disappointments to be had. The Xbox One supports Play To streaming from Windows 7 and 8 PCs via DLNA, but there's no way to pull content to the system from a PC directly (though the Xbox One does support playback of almost any file your Windows PC recognizes as media, whether music or video). This is a major step back from the Xbox 360's robust local media playback capabilities. Playback from USB storage is similarly a no-go at launch, so ferrying a video on a thumb drive isn't possible on Xbox One yet. It is possible, however, to upload media to your SkyDrive account and view it from there — an example of corporate synergy taking precedence over obvious features.

Network entertainment: DLNA

Looking to bring you more entertainment, Xbox One is a DLNA compatible device, although it currently only natively acts as a player. You can, for example, stream content from your phone to the Xbox One and it will start playing, but you can't initiate that from the console itself. That means it can't go off and find your network storage device to play movies or music you may already have.

To play video or view a photo slideshow you'll need the Xbox Video app installed and to play music you'll need Xbox Music installed, after that, it detects the incoming stream and opens as necessary.

We found streaming from the HTC One was straightforward thanks to that device's in-built sharing options, but we also used the Skifta app to do the same thing and there are many other DLNA apps and devices out there. Skifta will also let you stream content from server to console via your phone, so is an easy work around.
