Does xbox one have a system video player like what the 360 had?

Hey Torchy84,

The Xbox One does have a system video player app - its Xbox Video. In its current state it can play xbox video marketplace content (tv shows & movies) and it can also accept DLNA play-to content as a DLNA receiver from your PC. It currently does *NOT* browse
network for playback like the 360 does, i hope we see that functionality soon as the apps get improved.

Here is a simple walk through guide i found that may better help you figure out remote media playback support.

That was so easy

Thank you blahism

i have had same problem on 360 and xbox one. those videos on the dash or in xbox video wont scale down. I know my internet is not that fast at 3mbps so I wish they would add an option to set a default resolution for video streaming for the system or the
ability for it to auto adjust like Netflix does to give you best quality depending on internet connection.

Allo;

on the 360: My Video Apps -> System Video Player -> PC -> media file == does not play

on the 360: My Video Apps -> System Video Player -> Portable Device -> media file == plays just fine

(the "Portable Device" is simply a USB stick)

so it's the same player on the 360, same file, but two different "locations". Should play them both it seems... no?

Nope, the system doesn't have an open format media player like the 360 did. MS is moving to a more closed format like almost everyone else and putting all their support for video and music into the Xbox Video and Music apps. No more streaming downloads
through the system.
