**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

When you have your media playing this way, can you use Kinect voice commands to control it - pause, rewind, etc?

Pause play skip forward skip back all work.

Xbox one doesn't seem to like how I say rewind or fast forward can't get that working on anything so it could be my voice.

It also hates how I say record that.
 
Just left Tesco In Dundee with an Xbox One, COD Ghosts, Battlefield 4, Forza 5 and a play and charge kit.

They had loads in stock according to the guy who served me.

Thats my day off and weekend sorted :D

2 day live trial code here from the play and charge kit if anyone wants it

BW2VK - 94VWT - F8C7Q - 8HQK6 - H2YK6

Pretty sure I've got a 7 day trial in one of the games I got if you want that too.
 
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?

H264 only works in a mp4 container. I remux everything to that cause then it plays on all my devices. iOS droid tv or xbox. Which is kind of the point in having it all on a server anyway.
 
Oh well something went bang with my Xbox one, no longer works ie turns on. Was playing it last night without any issues although i noticed that the menu wasnt as smooth as it normally was but thought its maybe my TV, which is now 8 yrs old and is a Samsung LCD..ancient thing but works fine for me although ill be selling it at some point and getting a newer TV to replace it.

But thought before i head off to work later, ill have a little play on it but been telling it to come on but it wont...unplugged it and plugged it back in and nada. Called M$ and they said that its definitely gone kaput, rung up the game store i got it from and they have a couple left so just told me to bring it and get it exchanged. So off to game i go...kinda sucks but ill be back up and running later tonight.
 
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.
Cheers for that - very useful - now to decide if I should get a DLNA TV or not...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
2 things.

1) Why can't I say xbox pause to pause the game?
2) Why can't I read out a code if it doesn't have a QR image?
 
Judging on how poor it is at responding to my voice commands I can't see reading a code out as being a time saver!

Mines been 9 out of ten times, and the ones it doesnt work is me not saying the right thing, its awsome in BF4 calling out for medics ammo etc.
 
Listening to the latest Chet & Jons podcast, Chet sums up exactly how I feel about this system. Mine is being returned tonight. Such a shame really as I loved my 360. :(
 
Went to GAME last night just to see how many people were queuing up, got talking to this guy and he said there were more people at the xbox one launch last week, went into GAME this morning to check the PS4 out and the DS4 controller doesn't impress me at all, I don't think the machine is that attractive either not that much different from PS3 slims, Xbox one has a more distinctive look about it, game launch line up for PS4 very disappointing, with killzone bundles near £400 mark, you get a lot more for just £40 or so more in the xbox one day one edition.


This thread seemed to have a lot more excited people in it too near launch than the PS4 thread.
 
Hi guys

So i spent half the day trenching around shops looking for a Xbox one today i have been to every shop/supermarket in my town but still nothing available.

oh GAME did have 1 left a package for £629 lol but no way was i paying those prices they are a joke its ridiculous no wonder they got into so much financial trouble :mad:

Anyway got home around 12:30 a bit deflated thinking that's it now im going to wait until next year :p... so i turned pc on came on here only to see that they had 5 Xbox ones in stock so i was like omg omg :o quick quick before they go:p managed to bag one and its arriving tomos :)

Oh there was plenty of PS4 stock around btw but nothing grabs me yet on that format:)
