[Xbox One] Please Help not detecting Movies from PC

[Maoriboy]

I have just installed VLC Player on my XB1. i open it and go to browse and it detects my PC so i click on it but when i click on it nothing appears and says " there's nothing to see here we dud bit find elements in here" How would i stream movies from my PC?

Where are your files located on your computer?
Can you access them from another app?

You should probably look into how to make a network discoverable drive on Windows.

They are located in the default download folder. Was working sweet last week reinstalled windows now nothing showing up.

There was no update of the app so I'd say the issue is not coming from VLC.

Which version of Windows did you have and which one do you have now?
Have you tried to access the files from another app?

Like I said, it probably has to do with network drive discovery. Right click on your 'Downloads' folder, go to 'Properties' and fiddle around in the 'Share' tab.

i have made sure network discovery is turned on i went into properties for that folder and shared it now i open VLC player app on the xbox i then go to browse come up with smb "Sams-PC" so i click on it then a message pops up and says YOUR INPUT CAN NOT BE OPENED VLC is unable to open the MRL "smb://Sams-PC". Check the log for details. is there something else im doing wrong?

I have the same problem and can't get it working. It works when I stream to other PCs though.
