Hi,

Made an account just for you ;)  

Xbox music will not stream DRM music to it however.

Try this out:

If you read my blog posts this Spring on enabling legacy DMR’s in
Windows 8.0, you know that you had to create individual entries and
modify them for each device you have in your home.

Gabe Frost from Microsoft has just shared a single Registry key that
will enable all your legacy Digital Media Renderers to appear on the
Charms/Devices/Play tab in Windows 8.1.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\PlayTo with a DWORD
ShowNonCertifiedDevices with value 1 will enabled all your legacy
Digital Media Renderers. Without this modification, Windows Store Apps
won’t be able to use the Play function to send content to your non
certified devices.

I have an older Samsung TV which without this registry key, is not
capable of sending mp4’s on my hard drive to my TV using the Device/Play
Charm. You can see below that it appears as TV, Not Windows Certified.
As before, your first step is to insure your device works as expected on
the Classic Desktop with your Photos, Music, and Videos (depending on
the device, not all would be appropriate).

Fire up regedit.exe by typing regedit.exe on the Start screen,
acknowledge UAC and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft

Create a NEW key by right clicking Microsoft and name it PlayTo

Once the key is created, right click it and create a new DWord

The new Dword should be named ShowNonCertifiedDevices. After you have
created the key, right click, edit and change the value from 0 to 1. 

End result: My non certified Samsung TV shows up in the Play menu from
the Devices Charm and successfully can send to my TV.


Note: You alternatively could use
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\PlayTo with a DWORD
ShowNonCertifiedDevices with value 1 which would limit functionality on
a per user basis.
