This is also not for mobile devices.

I'm using a German Windows 10, so my translation of some menu descriptions might not be exact, but I hope you can follow these instructions.

Make sure your Xbox 360 console is running, and that you do NOT have any third party firewall software running (like Norton or other Anti-Virus suites that have a Firewall included).

(Left-)Click on the network icon in the lower right, next to the clock (depending on if you're connecting your computer wired or wireless, you'll see a wireless icon, or a computer screen with network cable).

Click on the Network and Internet settings.

Further down that window should be a link to "Network and Sharing center".

In that new window, click on "Change advanced sharing settings" on the left side of the window.

Drop the arrow for "All networks" and under the Media Streaming click on "Choose Media Streaming options..."

If not activated, activate Media streaming (requires Administrator privileges).

If media streaming is activated, find your Xbox 360 in the list of devices, and give it permission to access your media library.

Now click on the start menu, and type "Windows Media Player" and open the Windows Media Player.

Make sure that the media you want to share is found in the Media Player Library.

The Xbox 360 will ONLY access content that is visible here in the Media Player Library.

By default the Media Player will look into the Music, Video and Picture folders of your user account, and the equivalents of the public directory.

If necessary, go to the settings in the Media Player, and add the directories where you store your media files or move your media files to the default directories under your user account.
