We tried it out with the HTC One and found it worked well enough. Many Android phones have a native app to do this from media applications, but sometimes they are only good for sending local content from the phone to the Xbox One. Both apps are free in the Xbox One's store. If you're sending video or photos, you'll have to have installed Xbox Video. If you're streaming music, you'll need to have Xbox Music installed as this will act as the receiving music player. You can easily send content to your console from another DLNA device directly and Xbox One will recognise the incoming stream and open the app required to play it. This is something that could easily be overcome with an Xbox One app in the future, but so you're not kept waiting, here's how you can get streaming to your console right away. That means Xbox One won't go out and find content on your network, so it can't retrieve those files on your DLNA-compatible media server, for example, that all your other connected devices enjoy. (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox One will let you stream content to the console using DLNA, although on day one there's no native support to initiate those streams, so the console acts as a receiver only.
