    External Disc Is shown, but will not display contents


    Hello everyone,

    My name I Brian and I have a 2 Tb external hard drive for my Xbox that I had the majority of my games on. Up to this point, I have used about 40% of the storage with the games that I had transferred over to it.

    THE PROBLEM:

    My problem is that my Xbox one will read that the disc is connected, however, the only game in its content list that shows up is Minecraft, the Xbox version. A game, might I add, that is only 1.3 gigabytes large. If anyone is able to help can you tell me why my Xbox won't read the data of the remaining 39.9% of the disc?

    Thank you for your help,

    Brian

    :)

    new update issues!

    Most of the ads shown in the new format are for xbox content, and on mine there's only one square that ever shows any external unrelated ad.

    Time Warner - Black Screen except on 720P

    Hey BigSackofCats, good question. 1080i content is interlaced, which requires more processing by the Xbox One to de-interlace the content and display it to the user. 720p content is "progressive" (non-interlaced) and is therefore among the easiest resolutions
    that can be shown.

    Backwards compatibility For the new Series S

    No. It wouldn't be shown as installed on another console unless you install it there or you have it saves on an external hard drive and use it on the new console. However, with disc games you still need the disc in the drive, so you would not be able to
    play it on the Series S unless you purchase the game digitally.

    4oD app problem

    I couldn'r watch any of the content on 4oD. Tried several times, the screen just blinks before it can even start and probably one frame appears and then a message saying the content cannot be shown as the server is unavailable is displayed.

    It gets all the progam informatin fine, but the video just doesn't start...

    Dev Error 6036 (crashing now)

    Do the factory reset deleting all content in the console, then try to install again from the disc, don't use external storage during the installation
