Shame on MS here, mirroring and streaming PCs to TVs should have been table stakes with Windows 10 and again with Xbox One. Hopefully I'm right and we'll see MS with their own offering soon, but it will probably end up waiting until Scorpio if at all. They never released Miracast for Xbox One by way of the Wireless Display app simply because it was a dead end that would further confuse people. I'm guessing MS has noticed this and is trying to come up with their own solution that's more reliable than Miracast and DLNA and is as flexible as Airplay and Chromecast. These next-gen solutions have 2 components, streaming and mirroring, and Miracast only handles one the latter. So, the biggest players in the space have ditched Miracast which is a straightforward screen mirroring solution. Google originally planned to support Miracast but when it flopped they seem to have made their own way forward using a combination of DIAL and WebRTC, later dumping DIAL for mDNS. DLNA pretty much fell to the same fate.Īpple created its own protocol when it launched AirPlay. I'm starting to think that MS has decided that Miracast as a standard is a failure. To get Roku in 4K, you'll need to invest in a higher end Roku model like the Roku Ultra.I've been doing a bunch of research since last night out of frustration. The Roku Express works great with the Xbox One S 2TB Console - Launch Edition but don't expect to get 4K resolution from the Roku. Roku has one of the most extensive collection of streaming channels so you need to find and add the channels that you want to see, which you can now enjoy through your Xbox. The Xbox One S will then pass through the Roku Express's HDMI output to the TV. Instead, you will have to scroll down to the bottom of the Xbox's home page and select the 'TV' tile. Unlike your TV, you can't directly select the HDMI Input on the Xbox One S. Once all systems are on, you should see the Xbox One S startup window. Then connect the Roku Express to the Xbox One S's HDMI IN port.

If you are a Roku fan and want a very low cost way to access Roku's vast library of online media channels through the Xbox, the Roku Express may be right for you (click here to see Roku Express's low pricing on Amazon).įirst, you have to make sure that your Xbox One S is powered on and connected to the TV via the HDMI OUT port. The Xbox One S is primarily a gaming and 4K Blu-ray platform that also comes with its own set of online streaming media choices.
