Once you have downloaded and finished installing Java, download and install Universal Media Server. In the interests of security, you should never download Java from unknown websites. You may already have Java on your computer, but if not, go to and download it before continuing. You'll need to make sure you have an up-to-date version of Java installed on your PC – this is required for UMS to work. The simplest way of doing this is through a program called Universal Media Server (UMS), which broadcasts your files across a home network so the Xbox One can see them and play them back on your TV. In order for your Xbox One to see your films, TV shows and more, we first have to set up your PC so that it acts as a media server. In conjunction with the UMS program, we can use the Xbox's Media Player app to view all the files.


Universal Media Server (UMS) is a great app that works with all kinds of devices and setups and is a really useful tool when it comes to streaming to your Xbox One. Universal Media Server and the Media Player app
