Support NeoGAF

[Steelyuhas]

When will we get music in background rather than snapping?

Must be such a simple thing to do, even the 360 did it!

It's a system limitation at this point. It's a little puzzling, because it's not like background audio from applications on the Win 8.0 kernel wasn't supported.

There's no doubt they'll add it, just a matter of when.

did they fix mkv videos turning off after a few minutes ?

Yeah fixed for me. They still don't show up over DLNA for me though.

 

[DarthWalden]

I think it's a combination of things. For starters they're missing an easy button command. They're also probably trying to make sure they're as high a quality as possible. Those two things might take some time to solve.



But it's got the word "smart" right there in the name.

I imagine the blunt of the work and reason for delay is simply because they have to integrate it into the activity feed and upload studio somehow. PS4 just saves it to your hard drive and/or uploads it to social media site.. There is quite a bit more background work involved with this feature on XB1 that would require more extensive work and testing.

That's my horribly uneducated assumption.

 

[E92 M3]

It's probably somewhere on the uservoice, but there's also a trueachievements app that has been announced, that seems to have advanced stats among its users.

Unrelated, but I really hope they'll fix the Xbox Fitness streaming soon, I have given up on doing any program this week-end because of the black screen bug or too frequent buffering. Seriously I don't know what could have messed it up since I had been using it flawlessly from May to July. If it is due to the OS beta, it would be reason enough for me to opt out.

Oh that's cool. I love more statistics.

 

[FZW]

Speaking of true achievements, did anybody else notice this in the october preview video?

 

[klodeckel]

I think all these Apps like TrueAchievements, Picture Reel, Plex and so on will be ready rather sooner than later now.

 

[Majine]

I noticed Destiny doesn't show the achievement progressions (How big percentage on the way to unlocking you are).

Is this a bug, or does the game simply not support that?

That certainly sounds like something devs have to specifically target.

Some games just dont support it, its up to the devs.

 

[Antti]

Can someone invite me to the preview program? Is that even how it works? Thanks!

Sounds kinda off that one of, if not the biggest game of the year, does not support that.

Oh well.

 

[WarLox]

I would like an invite.

Done

 

[MonkeyKnuckle]

Has anyone else had their console randomly crash and reboot? I'm hoping it's something to do with the dashboard preview.

Also, I've removed myself from the preview, how do I go back to the non-beta dashboard?

You don't, you wait until the october official release is out, get that and won't get any beta releases afterwards.

 

[Mdk7]

Any news about the possibility to take screenshots?
I'm really missing that in Destiny, share button on PS4 is plain great.

It's coming, possibly soon.

Oh well.

They don't even utilize the impulse triggers. Lazy devs etc. yada yada.

 

[Antti]

Done

Thanks buddy!

 

[m23]

I don't know about soon. The Xbox dev posting in this thread said it's not coming this year.

Kampfheld's not actually an Xbox dev, apparently.

Oh, interesting.

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

if anyone wants to be in the preview program, send me a friend request and a message
GT is III OROZCO III and i'll invite you guys.

 

[Chitown B]

on the TA podcast they said the TA app won't be out until October for reasons beyond their control

[Chorazin]

Got the update last night (finally got approved) and it rocks!

Not a preview question (this happened before the update), but I don't think it's worthy of a new thread. Does anyone else's Xbone just not connect to the internet when you wake it up? I'd say every fourth time I turn it on, either wired or wireless, it just doesn't connect to Live, and says it can't connect to my DHCP server when I "Test Connection"

Everything else on my network can get online just fine when I get this message. Putting the Xbone back into standbye and then waking it up again solves the problem. Wondering if it's just me and I should be concerned.

 

[Delryk]

Thanks buddy!

could have just asked Cushen or I you bastard..

welcome to the preview club! ahah.

Not sure if this is just a beta thing but mine also does not also connect when coming from Standby. Weird issue.

Well, I'm glad it's not just me, even if it's a sucky issue. It happened to me before I downloaded the Beta, so it might just be a weird bug with some network configs.

 

[burger_shot56]

okay, someone told me to set console's dns from auto to 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4, and now apps load literally 5 times faster. wtf?

 

[Chitown B]

okay, someone told me to set console's dns from auto to 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4, and now apps load literally 5-10 times faster. wtf?

that's google DNS. works great.

 

[The Elite]

What!?

Can you give some examples?

 

[Vinterbird]

Happens here as well, and I'm not running beta.

 

[Raide]

What?!?

Will try this out.

 

[Chorazin]

I'm gonna try that out too!!

 

[Ade]

Really?

I'd questioned his obtuse hints before and got told Bish had verified him?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

More info here about google dns. I've never played around with it before.

https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/

 

[BibiMaghoo]

That just means Bish verified that the person was able to have such information, not that they are an actual developer. They may know one, and can prove it.

 

[E92 M3]

He works on the cloud projects based on what he said earlier.

Also, Microsoft needs to add a lot more gamerpics. They had it good with the 360 ones.

 

[derFeef]

I am no Google fan but I will try that out.
Though I need an explanation why apps load faster because of it.

The google DNS tends to resolve hostnames and such very quickly. if your default ISP DNS is shit and slow, you may well notice an improvement.

I still use my 360 gum avatar from JSR, will never change it until there's more then a few clip art images to pick from.

I'm pretty happy with the zombie hand clutching the controller, but I'm easy to please when zombies are involved.

 

[burger_shot56]

my app load times, yeah, 10 times might be to much, but still:
auto dns: friends - 15sec, achievements - 29sec (and snapped apps don't even open sometimes)
google dns: friends - 4 sec, achievnments - 6sec
snapped apps and overall speed is much better too,
finally using xbox now is not a painful experience, yay

just changed mine and it does feel much quicker

People like you drive me crazy! Staring at your old, low res avatar pic sucks. They don't fill the box intended for avatars on XB1. Yes, I have OCD.

 

[Ape]

Wait, so your DNS is why the apps have been so slow for some of you guys? I always wondered about some of the complaints about load times. I've never had those problems. Hopefully this helps some of you.

This is your ISP's fault more than Xbox really. Unless you run into other issues, using 8.8.8.8 for resolution is always great. Just use your IPS's dns as the secondary record and you'll be golden.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Really?

I'd questioned his obtuse hints before and got told Bish had verified him?

I mean, he's a dev, but he's not on the update team or anything. He's a game dev, not an "xbox" dev.

Yeah. Old avatar users are like that old person that can't figure out how to use the interwebs and has to call to buy tickets.
