That will appear in a future release. The feature is still being tweaked.
Loving the updates, is screenshot feature coming soon?

any word on USB requirements for play multimedia or any system file format will go? (like if needs to be NTFS or FAT32 is still a go)

You could have bought a Western Digital Streaming device that does everything better years ago. I bought one for $60.

Use smartglass for the record that function,
I've been looking for it all day... where in the app is it?
Tap on the very bottom menu bar when playing a game. It will expand and then you will sre a record button.

I think that those implentations, such as snapcenter, friends tab and games activity feeds will be avaiable just on september (or whenever comes the next update).
I tried here the Media Player and it worked fine! But its not possible to snap it yet, I found that a bit disappoiniting! Hope that they add the snap function to it later, and also hope that the MKV support dont take long. =)

That's like 10 stability updates in Sonyland? Step your game up, Sony.

Wait, is this the one with the mini-guide for TV watching?
Go to your game dvr clips, select manage clips, and select the ones you want to delete.

Loving the friends tab so far.
But would love to see (more) options become available for the leaderboard such as highest overall GS, most achievements earned in the last 30 days(not GS but actual achievements), longest currently running achievement streak (each consecutive day that you get an achievement increases the streak).
What about us in the preview program who still don't have it?
I would love to give feedback.

Nope, it isn't stupid at all. If any of the new features are things that you honestly feel further improve on your overall experience with the system, then there's nothing at all to be ashamed of in being happy about it. I was very happy about the boot to tv feature, as this is something I've wanted since my first month with the Xbox One.
Yes, and it's amazingly fast and slick! Press up on dpad, left analog stick or the view button to bring it up.
Yep, this really needs to be in the next update. Having to exit your game and load a separate friends app just to see who's online is an enormous step back from the Xbox 360.

You don't have to exit your game at all, you can just say "Xbox Go to Friends," and the game continues to run in the background. You can go right back to it whenever you want and it picks up wherever you left off. Or did you mean somehow being able to see who's online while being in the game at the same time, because to my knowledge that isn't what the friend's tab is. It's just a front and center spot on the dashboard to get information on your friends. It's similar to what the Pins, Store and Home sections are now. It's its own designated spot on the dashboard.

I agree. We have two Xbox One's in our house and my Wife loves the boot to TV feature. In my game room, I have it boot to the dashboard since I don't watch a lot of TV in the game room, on occasion, but not enough to have it boot to it.
I just hope they keep this up for a bit. There are still some major things that need to be worked on:
* Improve Installation Time (Installing games from disk)
* Improve load times
* Screenshot function (Xbox Take Screen Shot & a way to do it with a controller for the non-Kinect users).
* Themes/Wall papers etc.
* Ability to easily re-arrange your pins on the system itself. not just through smartglass
I would like to be able to snap the friends app and be able to see who's online and what they are playing. From there I should be able to add them to my party.

You likely wouldn't want to go fat 32 anyway, because of the file size transfer limitations. But, yes, it supports Fat32. Go with NTFS dude!
Now they have to update the achievements system. "12421" , "75291" , it is just a number that doesn't matter anymore. Give us levels, ranks, special achievements that stand over the rest...this is something that Sony does better.
If they somehow refresh the system, then Xbox One will be my co-main console along the Mario Kart 8 console.
I'm loving the updates. Fantastic job! But Xbox One will forever be seen as the less capable next gen console...but it can be compensated, if they do something revolutionary and cool with achievements, something that actually makes games more fun, I will not care about resolution and frames anymore.
Also...The record button on Smartglass is an AMAZING addition!

I've been pretty impressed with the way MS are handling their updates and these monthly announcements of what they're up to. It's certainly a big step forward from last year

nice, I just checked in the settings menu and it's there for me already.
Any word on screenshots for the October preview? I would love to have the functionality of uncompressed, native screenshots with Forza Horizon 2 and Sunset Overdrive on the way.

There was an update focused on improvements to disc based installing (1408, I think), but I haven't personally tested it myself yet.
I think that was added. Called snap center or some such. Made it kind of like the 360 guide button.
Edit: Or maybe that is in one of the next ones.

Time to plug the Xbone back in. It's finally the media hub I wanted
t's getting there, once DLNA and MKV through both USB devices and DLNA is there (just DLNA and MKV support is fine), then it will finally be a lot closer to what I hoped prior to launch. Then hopefully later some really solid subtitle and different channel audio control support.
