Quick question I suppose...is this even possible?
I would like to be able to play my XMBC content on my Windows phone. As far as I know it is UPnP compatible...

Didn't they port VLC to Windows Phone? I know VLC on iOS and Android does a fairly nice job at accessing XBMC/Kodi's UPnP shares.

XBMC shares over uPnP doesn't it? What does your windows phone see if you enable uPnP sharing on XBMC?

yx player 8.1 plays mkv files over upnp (although crashes on hd audio) - it isnt free though and havent rigorously tested yet

MoliPlayer doesn't see XBMC uPnP for some reason...it sees my Router so it's obviously working to some degree. Will try YX Player next.

I can get moliplayer to see upnp but it throws an error every time I try to play something (only trying before I buy it so maybe disabled)
Stupid question but you have turned on upnp settings in xbmc ? I know you said in a previous post it was on btw but maybe you have toggled it off ?

It's definitely on as it works on my wife's Android phone.

In case this thread crops up in a search for anyone else, the Windows Phone app 'Smart Player' works beautifully with Kodi uPnP.
