Xbox One October Preview detailed

I don't know if this belongs in this thread, but I have no idea where else I could post it. Has anyone had any issues with the September update causing the image and sound to occasionally cut out for a moment and then return almost immediately (about once an hour or so)? I am trying to determine if there is a problem with my monitor or if it is a problem with the xbox.

So someone here or on reddit has graciously invited me, how long does it take for the enroll to go though? Right now I'm looking at 24hrs.
 
So the "Press X to Record That" during snap center gives me an idea:

"Press LB/RB to adjust Volume Balance."

(i.e. between the snapped app and center app)

Thoughts?

I don't like the spot they placed it in. Like, what is the user workflow logic in it? Double tapping the xbox button is for snapping a second window, what does that have to do with recording in the main window? It's these kinds of cryptic u-turns that's gonna make it a nightmare for new users if they keep adding stuff wherever.

Media Player Preview has stopped seeing my network shares for some reason. Rebooted the PC and Xbox, and it'll see the share, but nothing in it. Anyone else had this issue?

Get it on Xbox voice

Perhaps Y to take screenshot and B to stream as well

I like it.

What if holding down bumpers or triggers actually changed your options in snap Center? Like a modifier?

For example when guide is double tapped 'SNAP CENTRE' appears and our options are 'main app focus', 'snapped app focus', 'snap an app' and 'unsnap'.

What if holding down LT now gave us, 'CAPTURE CENTRE' and options now become 'record that', 'screenshot', 'start a stream', 'record to x external HDD'.

Having shortcut key presses would turn common tasks that used to require actual attention and menu navigation in snapped windows into just a set amount of button presses that would become instinctual over time to the point where you'd not even need to look.

I.e. Double tap guide, snap an app, navigate to twitch app (which will likely never be in the same place in the list due to the fact that the changes every time a new app is used), start streaming option from within app, could simply become...

Double tap guide - LT+UP.

YES! I have experienced this. It didn't manifest in my recorded clips, so I was worried it was my TV or receiver. It's like the HDMI signal drops for a few seconds.

I've also experienced something like this. In my case my tv loses the picture for a second every 8 seconds or so. I immediately know it's happening when I boot up the console, and turning it off and then back on, or unplugging that HDMI cable and plugging it back in always fixes it.

Just got my Xbone last week and I'd love to get in on this action if anyone has an extra invite. GT is Chorazin.

Thanks in advance! :-D

Someone please tell me how to hide games in read to install...I can't find it. At the end of they day, they need better filters, though. 360 had it nicely.

Hello all,

When tarting the console, I do not have the Friends tab and I have to force a refresh of the dashboard.

Is what I'm the only one with this problem?


Thx ;)

Reboot your system by holding down the power button on the console for about 8 seconds, then turn it on again.

Media player is very unstable, but it's so nice not to have to boot up my Roku or the 360 to watch stuff. I'd be happy if they just got the app stable with most of the codecs working, and subtitle support.

However, I'd love to see features added, more info about the file I'm playing (encoding, resolution, codecs), set time index skipping, playlists, and for the love of all that is holy, please MS give us better looking thumbails/interface. Yuck. :)

MS is embarrassing Sony as far as OS is concerned imo. Great constant updates.

All we've gotten for quite a while is stability updates with PS4. I have tangible updates every month on XB1.

If you guys have Plex and are having trouble with certain video files, it would probably make the Xbox guys life 1000x easier if you could include the video meta data XML that Plex generates that has video and audio codec information.

Not using Plex. Just regular Windows Media player.

There is a new update out, and it fixes the MKV issue and the snap bug on my end. Anybody see anymore fixes?

I will check when I get home.
