i have many movies stored on NAS drives and would like to be able to play these. My PS3 console bit the dust and I'm looking at a better media server. Ive looked at XBOX and PS4 but they don't support media streaming from NAS drives whereas their ancestors do. My Macbook pro is running out of space and I'm tempted to dump the drive onto a Mac mini and connect the NAS drives to it; hoping that the Apple TV speaks to it and views the videos in the iTunes library. But a large part of me feels genuine rage that I might have to spend £500 for this facility when it doesn't EVEN play blue ray or DVDs. Any suggestions? Are there media server interfaces that can run on Mac mini meaning its a little greener than having NAS + Mac Mini + Apple Tv running to be able to view NAS drive videos?
How can I play my Xbox on my laptop? Step 1: Connect the power cable to the Xbox One and turn the console on. Step 2: Plug your HDMI cable into the output port of your Xbox One. Step 3: Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the input port of your laptop. Step 4: Select the appropriate video source on your laptop. For just $10 (regular price $20) and a decent internet connection, you can stream any game from your Xbox One straight to your Mac. I’ve spent a bit of time with it, and while it’s rough in.

Xbox Cloud Gaming: How to play your favorite Xbox games on an iPhone, iPad and laptop You can stream Xbox games to iOS devices and Windows PCs. Here's everything you need to know.
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.
Here's how you can stream the latest Xbox One games to your Mac, completely cable-free.
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.
