Digital Media Renderer

I am trying to connect and stream video and pictures from my Windows 7 Pc to my Xbox One. I finally got my Pc to add the Xbox One to my Wireless Devices but now it's asking me to update my Digital Media Renderer Driver. When I click on Apply Fix it goes through the motions then an error message pops up. It says that their isn't a driver for the Digital Media Renderer and that there's trouble with PnP devices? The Xbox 360 was easy to connect but for some reason the Xbox One is having trouble. Please help. Thank you

I'm betting you just have to open Windows Media Player on the PC and check two things under Stream. Allow remote control of my player and the most important; Automatically allow devices to play my media. Then if you click more streaming options, you should see your Xbox has full access granted now! Ignore the Digital Media Renderer driver error, it's not an issue here...

    I have the same problem where i get a message saying "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)." The Digital Media Renderer is unable to be installed through Windows. Not sure what to do to fix it. Have looked everywhere online.

    this is happening to me too and its not a xbox problem its a driver problem with windows.

    my guess is they dont know how to fix it so there pushing us to xbox support, pretty funny

    I am having the same issue.  When Win 7 detects the Xbox1 it is called an "entertainment device".  It then fails to load the driver in the device called "Digital Media Renderer" and has an exclamation point on the device.  Mine will actually still stream but the quality is poor so I was hoping there was some way to install the correct driver to make it work better.

    Hello Perry,

    The issue you are facing is with X-BOX. So, I would recommend you to post your query on X-BOX forum as they have better expertise in this.
