glad to see the hand cursor being disabled when watching video. I was watching something the other day and Kinect decided while i was eating that my hand wanted it to advance the film 45 minutes.
think that felt slow? Try going back to KZSF. That game makes up for lack of auto-aim by making people's top running speed similar to your grandmother's. Not hard to kill without autoaim when everyone moves like they need a walking cane. 11th can't get here fast enough.
how is this done?
nm, i see the pic.

Just watched the video. Cool but I'm not that excited for stuff the 360 did already. It should've been in the original launch.

Have they added back notifications for when friends (or even just your favourites) come online?
I really miss the option to have those.

Same. I would KILL for a Plex app. Because of no Plex, I still have to have my Roku box hooked up and still change inputs on my TV. The people at Plex said it's too expensive to put it on Xbox but that's a lame excuse if you ask me. It's already on pleanty of devices and you have to pay for most of them. I would even pay $20 for a Plex on Xbox One app. If I want the Xbox One to truly be the all-in-one box, then it NEEDS Plex.
(I know you can kind of get it on Internet Explorer, but I hate using the cursor and only 1/3 to 1/2 of the movies on my server work.

Nothing! I said nothing!
I'd love a sky app. Don't think Sky are up for it though.
Really? I was under the impression Sky didn't want to use the integrated TV stuff, but an app to stream sky programs wasn't out of the question.
And yes, Plex app is a must! I have it on my Samsung smart TV, but I'd rather hop to it by saying "Xbox, go to Plex"
The Sky forums are full of people begging for a Sky App, the responses tends to be "Thats not currently part of our strategy, we're focusing on apps to deliver a Sky experience where a Sky Box is impractical, such as on mobile devices"
The only reason my 360 is on HDMI in is to continue using the Sky app :/

I would love to know that too. It really sucks that this isn't there anymore
I didn't know the Feb update had the changes to the sticks. I thought that would be in the March one. Do I need to plug my controller via usb to get updated?

A Sky Now app they will be fine with, a Sky Go app not so much. They don't want to give people an easy way to watch their channels for free on a big tv.
I think it may only be on 360 as part of a deal for them to use silverlight.
Stick update happened automagically.
The only cable based update you need to do is in the March dash and its purely for the Headset Adaptor, its in the settings menu.
Thank you for the clarification. Didn't get what auto meant. Magically made it clear.
I understand that the reason behind this is that everything is it's own separate app instead of like it is on the 360, ps3/4.
It allows them to do quick iterations without fears of breaking the underlying operating system.
Does your reciever regocnize if you switch from DTS to Dolby etc.? Because that's coming through for me. It's just mute though :/

Greatest part of the update for me now is the XBox on command actually turns my TV on now, could never get it to work before

They both have a signal just no sound.
Ah thanks, good to know it's not just me then, I will let them know on the forums - was looking forward to use my turtle beach again...
Great update, Dolby Digital is BACK!!! The friends list is no longer a maze and the party system looks like it may actually work. I also update my controller but I have NFI what the update was for.
Now if only I actually knew somebody else on my list who also had the update. Its going to be a party free week for me lol.
One major criticism I have still is that when I opened up a party and joined a BF4 game, it still came up with the little pop up saying 'Game found for your party' and does not go away until you open it. That should not come up until you are invited to a game, seems the party system still does it automatically.

Will there be an online notification for when my friends come on? I don't use my xb1 for watching tv so the frequent sign ins won't bother me plus they could always toggle it.
so, I have a problem....
I updated my controller, BUT I HAVE NO TITANFALL to test it with!!
how about doing something for this microsoft??!
The controller update is purely for the headset, the deadzone changes came out before the Titanfall beta, so you got to test them then

Can we have voice play through our tv's and headsets?
Just got it. Really like the organization in the friends app. Much better now.
And yeah, the new changes to "Xbox Volume Up/Down" are good -- more convenient instead of having to say it multiple times.
I never had problems with the hand gestures coming up when watching video on the Xbox One but it was a problem for me with the Xbox 360. Nice to see that they added that in either way though.
But yeah, a very good update overall. Need to try out the new party system.

Not sure if anyone else had this problem...but I'm wondering if the update has resolved it.
If my Bravia TV is already on and I then start the Xbox One, it turns the TV off as part of the start-up process. It's seemingly not clever enough to check if it's on or not.
And disabling of hand gestures is excellent, me and my partner were watching Netflix last night and she was doing some colouring in. The hand was going nuts on-screen.

That's still happening for me after the update.

Course not. Its just an IR command for power. It has no idea if your TV is on, off, unplugged or on fire.

Looks like quite a few of us are having issues. Not sure what is going on.
Not yet, if you have the update though you can look if internal Microsoft testers are streaming right now. Looks good imo!

I thought it was doing something fancy through the HDMI.
Just IR.
What they need to do is send discrete power codes, not a blanket power toggle.
Anyone who has programmed a harmony or done home automation knows what I mean.

Optical Out is working for me, the audio on Battlefield 4 now through my A40's is simply amazing! Just like being there.
For this reason I am over the moon with the update.

So you can only watch Xbox One twitch streams from an Xbox One? Not via the website?

This will make a lot of people very happy.
You don't need to open it. Just say Xbox Decline and the notification will go away.

Microsoft seems very busy getting the system up to par, I can only imagine how things will look and run in a couple of years.
Can you give a couple gamertags?
Edit: Just saw your post below. Cool that the game pages have broadcasters on there.
It's just easy to find currently - go to Garden Warfare on your Xbox One for example and have broadcasting accounts listed there.
Can't remember sorry, it was something with Xbox Test ##.
Thanks, I was not aware of that command.
