    [BUG] if Movies & TV app has an update, casting fails until reboot


    If the Movies & TV app has an update and you tried to do "Cast to device -> Xbox One" from Windows not only will the cast fail but the Movies & TV app cannot be opened until the system is shut
    down.

    Attempting to open the Movies & TV app on the xbox will simple create the icon click noise and the app fails to open.

    After restarting the xbox, launching the Movies & TV app, applying the update, then casting will continue to work as normal.

    This has occurred that last 3 times there has been an update to the Movies & TV app

    :)

    Cast to Xbox one not working

    Pressing the "B" button on the game pad causes the Movies & TV app to remove the "connecting" screen, and the video then becomes visible.

    The bug does not seem to happen if the Movies & TV app is already running before you start casting. So, as another work-around you can start the Movies & TV app on the Xbox One first.

    Movies & TV App Bugs

    As of the Nov 20th update there are two major bugs on the Movies & TV app.

    1. Screen dims as if going into power save mode while watching a movie (after about 10-15 minutes), pressing a button or moving the stick undims the screen

    2. During panning or motion scenes there is frame hitching/jerky motion. This is a constant regardless of the network speed or type, happens on every console i've tried with the NXOE.

    Bought a movie on Microsoft expecting to be able to play it on Movies Anywhere app, but it won't play there. How can I get it to play there?

    Hi Charles you can watch movies with the Microsoft Movies and TV app on your device. Also you can stream media by casting it to a device.

    Hi again. I wish you could explain to me how to do this. My TV displays our cable on HDMI1. We have our Google Chromecast device connected to HDMI2. When we want to stream content from our phones or laptops, we switch the TV to HDMI2, and the streaming apps connect automatically. When I try to stream this Microsoft movie (Sorcerer, 1977) to the Chromecast on HDMI2, it says it can't connect. Likewise, just trying to cast it to the TV via HDMI1 does not connect, either. The only other ports available are InputAV1 and InputComponent, neither of which have a device connected, but the movie will not connect or cast to either of those. Please help me to be able to cast this movie from my Surface laptop to my Chromecast (in HDMI2 port on Samsung Smart TV). Also, is there any way I can access the movie on my Samsung S21 smart phone?

    If you are using Microsoft Movies and TV it is not compatible with Chromecast as a workaround you can mirror your computer to your tv that should work, for Samsung smart phones I will recommend to contact their support site for more information, curently there is no app for android to watch them.

    I've learned that this particular movie (Sorcerer, 1977) is distributed by Paramount and thus won't play on Movies Anywhere because MA doesn't have a contractual agreement with Paramount.

    Therefore, what I really need your help with is how to cast this movie from my Microsoft Surface laptop's Movies & TV app. When I try to cast this movie, it simply will not connect to either the Samsung TV or the Google Chromecast. That's what I need help with. Is there any way I can speak with you on the phone about this? Or otherwise, is there any way you can help me?
