Introduction

A while ago, I showed you how to enable DLNA and Play To in Windows 8 but this is not applicable in Windows 8.1.

That’s why I bring you a new way to activate it, I’ve generated a small log file that we can install to enable the “Play To” or DLNA function of Windows 8.1 on both desktop and Windows RT devices.

Steps

#

1. Enable XBMC for uPNP as explained HERE.
2. Download file: (Don’t be scared of your browser’s security alert, it’s because it’s a log file, but if you don’t trust it, click Here to do it yourself). https://rubeninfante.com/ARCHIVOSMIOS/PlayTo.zip
3. Unzip it and double-click on the file .reg
4. There you have it!

Alternative method

#

1. Create a text file with this content

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftPlayTo]
   "ShowNonCertifiedDevices"=dword:00000001

2. Save it with name playTo.reg

3. Double-click on it.

4. There you have it!

I hope you find it useful :D
