**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Game emailed that my Lego Marvel order was being processed earlier in the week and it is showing as shipped in my order tracking. Are they being a little premature or is it ready now?
 
just incase anyone still needs to order, new uk stock on the microsoft site, day one + fifa 14 right now.

just ordered, and received email confirming order.

will be interesting to see when its delivered now :)
 
Has anyone had issues with either the Youtube or Machinima apps?

They load fine, I can search without issue - everything updates as expected so I know there is a connection - but nothing plays..? :confused:

In addition my tiles don't appear to be updating with any pictures - they either appear solid green or grey. I assume they are live tiles so should update (like my win8 phone).

I did note that someone had this issue earlier in the thread and a hard restart sorted it. I tried this and it didn't make any difference. Everything works as expected apart from the appearance on the tiles.

The Youtube app worked fine last night for me, took a while to buffer but that might be my rubbish tinterweb

I will give it another go last night. I am on BT Infinity so my connection shoudln't be an issue. The console downloaded the apps really quickly so I know it has a decent connection (over Wifi).

Does the Xbone play MKV files?

Not natively no. It lacks Media & DLNA support as it current stands.

Is it only .avi's you can stream to the console at the moment?

The only way i can do this is to right click on the .avi on my PC (Win7) and select 'Play To' and select the Xbox One. That then opens the Xbox Video App and plays the file.

There doesn't seem to be a way to search through shared network files on the console like you could on the 360.

Not at this time, though I do expect it to be patched in at some point in the future. No idea when though. I'd be much more annoyed about it as I used the feature all the time until I got a Smart TV last year which plays everything from my NAS.

Not strictly true. It supports DNLA but has no app to play files from NAS boxs etc

HOWEVER you can use an Tablet or smarthpone with an App like Skifta.

Select the your server as the source and the Xbox One as the playing device as the XBOX One and it will open up Xbox Video and play the files.

Works for everything I used to play on the 360 so far. Music Video and Pictures.

The whole DLNA thing is quite hazy from what Ive looked into - the XO isnt DLNA certified unlike the 360 so it makes you wonder if it uses the protocol as part of PlayTo or not. Be good to see if you can connect a DLNA server thats not windows based to see if you can push media to the XO....

Thanks for this. :)

I will give it a go tonight.
 
I'm surprised how small this thing actually is, from what they where talking about I though it was going to be the size of my Amp receiver!
Alos just how quiet it is, quite the improvement, though putting my hand over the large vent at the top, their does seem to be a decent amount of heat coming from it, has anyone else noticed?

Fist holding the pad I wasnt sure, feels smaller, course you start a game and its like you always had it, really loving the triggers and shoulder buttons being so much larger, triggers feel like much better quality, and the feedback does actually really work in something like Forza, was hoping BF4 would have used these more when shooting, would be nice to feel that hit back on the trigger.

Yes mine gets quite hot over the vents too!

However my controllers are very poor quality, hoping to get them sent back or replaced.

I'm connecting to a Synology NAS and it works fine using the method I described, its an extra step but browsing for files is actually easier on the iPad so.......

I hope the sort out a proper app sooner rather than later though.

When you have your media playing this way, can you use Kinect voice commands to control it - pause, rewind, etc?
 
I tried using the Skifta route to browse from my Synology NAS to the XBO but it would only play mp3 and the standard avi, mpeg files. Anyone had any luck with mkv or h264 files?
