Just turned mine on and got the same.

Last update was done when the xbox was off so don't understand why this one wasn't.

My xbox was still in standby mode too as I turned it on via voice command. Maybe it's a requirement of this particular update.

Same for me. It did shoot up to 83% almost straight away though.

MOOGLEYS · 23 Mar 2014 at 16:29

Just turned mine on and it immediately turned back off again..

Stupid Xbox...

Fr0dders · 24 Mar 2014 at 00:55

was this update a general release one, or only for those in the preview program ?

antijoke · 24 Mar 2014 at 07:20

Only for the release preview people.

I got the update yesterday, no idea what it was supposed to do but it seems to have slowed everything down.

Also certain words in the UI consist of wierd characters, also in the party invites.

Glad you said that because mine is the same, thought something was up with my Xbox.

I don't know why anyone would chance the preview program on the Xbox one. I have seen nothing but complaints on this and other forums about preview updates.

This is Microsoft we are talking about. It takes them a while to get things right.

It's not worth the risk of bricking your Xbox to get features a few weeks before everyone else.

Fr0dders · 24 Mar 2014 at 13:19

I'm part of it and no complaints here. I think some people like to be overly dramatic.

Id imagine there is very little chance of that. the updates they are releasing are well tested before hand they are just looking to weed out any bugs before a general release.

For those interested, can turn xbox into a great media streamer plugging a Google chromecast into it (and allows me to play through my amp)

Hopefully one day they make it possible on the console itself but I imagine they won't to push things like xbox music.

RobotXander · 24 Mar 2014 at 15:17

doesn't that use an HDMI port?
I assume you just use the extra pass through port on the back of the console?

Never had any issues with early update previews, either on the 360 or the few we have had with XO.

Yeah it's rather annoying and really random, an example of the ui :

Yeah that's it, but its the only issue I've had with the preview updates.
Everything else have been working fine for me.

Yup (uses the pass thru hdmi on the back of the xbox one.)

Great for youtube and iplayer too

I occasionally get those funny characters too. But the most annoying issue is when I swap discs I always get the error saying its dirty or can't be read. Have to completely shut down the xbox for it to work and read the disc

How does this work exactly? You put the Chromecast into the Xbox One, and then what? Can you give me some examples of what kind of things you can do with this?

Thanks

The Chromecast is just loaded with apps like Plex, the fact that it's plugged into an XO is pretty irrelevant unless you plan on snapping the pass through screen onto something else like a game, which I think is a bit pointless anyway given the size of the snap panel.

Had that as well today, I am guessing it's something to do with the newest update and not my drive on the way out?
