Cynical Peak Software on Wednesday announced the release of Rivet, a new Mac OS X utility that helps you stream digital media content from a Mac to a Microsoft Xbox 360 video game console. Rivet costs $18.95; a limited demo is available.
Similar in concept to Nullriver’s Connect360 software, Rivet lets you stream videos, music and photos from a host Macintosh to a networked Xbox 360 video game console.
Features include the ability to stream music from your iTunes library and movies from user-defined folders (unprotected files, of course) and streaming of iPhoto library images and images from folders your specify.
Another way to stream video, audio, or photos from your phone to Xbox One is with DLNA. Limited to Android, this option turns your phone into a media server. With the Xbox One Media Player app, you can then browse the device, find the file you want to watch, and stream it across your network. Jun 28, 2021 To play, simply visit xbox.com/play using Edge, Chrome, or Safari browsers on your Apple device. Most games are made to be played with a controller, but Apple’s devices support modern Xbox. You dont need a capture card, you can use the XBOX app, and its streaming ability as a window capture in obs on your mac (i dont have any experience with the xbox app on mac, but the steps should be the same) I wrote a tutorial for it here: https. Step 2: Connect the app to Xbox One. Make sure you have Xbox Video app on your Xbox One console. Also make sure that streaming is enabled in the settings on your Xbox. Go to Settings Preferences “Allow Play To Streaming” and check it. Then Open SofaPlay on your Mac and select the Xbox-SystemOS option from the list. Streaming on a mac is not so easy. I did it for a short time and then quit until I could build my current PC. Software wise, OBS is still VERY basic on mac so you will need Cam Twist and Adobe Flash Media Live encoder. You should be able to find some videos on how to set it up on youtube. As far as hardware I don't have any advice.
You can organize movie and photo folders into subfolders by TV show, genre or however you’d like to make content more module. It supports a variety of formats including AAC, MP3, WMA, H.262, DIVX, AVI, WMV, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, RAW, PSD, PDF and others.
System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard”, 2.7MB hard disk space and a networked Xbox 360. iTunes is required for music sharing.
Updated 06/28/21: Xbox Cloud Gaming through the browser is now available to all Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. This article has been updated throughout with the latest information from Microsoft.
Last year, we wrote about how Apple’s restrictive App Store rules would cause millions of gamers to miss out on Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming service (née xCloud). Microsoft later updated the Xbox app to stream games over your local network from your own Xbox, but that’s not the same thing as a cloud gaming service where you don’t need to download or install games at all.
After months of hand-wringing and probably back-room negotiations, Microsoft finally announced that it would build a web-based solution for devices on which it can’t provide an app, like iPhone and iPad. After a short invite-only beta period, Microsoft has announced that all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now enjoy Xbox Cloud Gaming on Mac, iPhone, or iPad. To play, simply visit xbox.com/play using Edge, Chrome, or Safari browsers on your Apple device.
Most games are made to be played with a controller, but Apple’s devices support modern Xbox controllers just fine. Just sync it to your Mac as you would any Bluetooth device, or plug in via USB. On iPhone or iPad, we have a guide to pairing your Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S controller.
In addition to the broad availability of Xbox Cloud Gaming (formerly code-named xCloud) to all subscribers, Microsoft has upgraded the servers that run the games in the cloud to new hardware based on the Xbox Series X. This means faster performance, much quicker loading times, and better visual quality. Games will stream at 1080p and 60fps, but the company says that “Going forward we’ll continue to innovate and add more features to enhance your cloud gaming experience.”

On Xbox, all saved games are always synced to the cloud, as is other user data like friends lists and achievements. So everything you do on a console will be there waiting for you in the cloud, and vice-versa.

The Xbox Cloud Gaming expansion comes along with an expansion of Xbox-ready game accessories for iPhones. The popular Razer Kishi controller, originally only for Android phones, now has an MFi-certified version for iPhones. The new Backbone One controller for iPhone features a dedicated button to launch the Xbox Cloud Gaming web app. For a limited time, Microsoft is offering three-month free trial to new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members with the purchase of either controller.
