  1. Audio not playing properly in Media Player app


    When I use the media player app to play videos from my external hard drive, certain videos seem to have major issues with certain aspects of the audio track. For instance, background music might be perfectly clear but dialogue might be very quiet or borderline
    inaudible. The same videos sound perfect when viewed on my laptop. This seems to affect multiple file formats including .mp4 and .mkv. Has anyone else had this issue? If so is there any fix for it, or am I going to be using some other method to watch movies
    while I wait for a patch?

    :)

  2. XBox One Media Player

    absolutely agree, Microsoft is unable (or intentionally unwilling?) to properly set up audio/video properties of the XB1S/X consoles, and has been a for a looong time now...Media Player and Movies app are still incapable of properly playing back HD audio
    formats off USB, the app itself (Media Player) hasn´t been updated for like a year...

    the VLC app team said they tried to contact Microsoft in order to obtain access to the Exclusive Mode in SDK so they could do something with bitstream capability, Microsoft wouldn´t respond...it´s a clear nonsense

    Does Xbox One X play audio cds and 4K video files?

    Hi everyone,

    I was thinking of picking up an Xbox One X and wanted to confirm some of its multi media features, as I've been hearing conflicting info.

    1. Does the Xbox One X still have an Audio CD app that lets you play audio/music cds? And, if so, does it display the cd info on screen, like album titles, album picture, track titles, etc.?

    2. Also, does the Xbox One X Media App properly play 4K video files (mp4) from a USB stick?

    I know that the Xbox One S could NOT properly play 4K video files from a USB stick, whereas the PS4 Pro and standalone 4K players can.

    Has that been fixed with the Xbox One X?

    thanks.

    can't play songs- code 01-800705b4

    Hi all,



    Unfortunately iOS devices with a touch screen will not be able to connect to an Xbox 360 and function properly. Only the iPod classic with physical buttons will be able to play back audio on with the steps listed

    here
    if interested. Hope this clears things up!

    Media Player and MPEG4

    The same is true with MKV files encoded with h.264 and AC3 audio. Nothing will play in the Media Player app from my DLNA server. It was working an hour ago, but not anymore.

    DISSAPPOINTING MKV, AVI not playing any sound on Xbox One
