How do I connect my external hard drive to Xbox 1 so I can play videos stored on it?

I used to be able to wirelessly connect my Xbox 360 to an external hard drive and play stored video files from it through the console. Can I do this on Xbox1? If yes how?

Thanks

:)

 

mp4 says 0 seconds

I have a few videos that I am able to watch on my windows 10 device using the tv & movie app. When I connect my external hard drive with those videos up to my xbox it says they are 0 seconds long and throw an x80070001 error. Has anyone seen this problem
before? Any advice on how to get my videos to play on my xbox?

 

June Update- External Hard drive questions.

Just a few questions I know the update isn't out yet but it would help me a lot of I got an answer to these questions, much appreciated.

1) Can I leave the external hard drive plugged in the console even when the console is turned off, or will that effect the data stored in the hard drive? Like how some people right click then press eject on their USB's on PC, so that the data stored inside
the USB is not corrupted, lost or harmed in any way?

2) In future if there is a update and I have my external hard drive in the console and there is a system update but the console is in standby mode and is not being used (so that I can say "Xbox On" and it will turn on), will the system update take space
on the external hard drive or internal hard drive? Or would it just not update and ask me for confirmation when I switch on the console?

3) If I signed in to a friends console and I levelled up or gained some source of progress, will that transfer directly back to my external hard drive, or would I have to sync my external hard drive to the cloud system some how? I think that links to
question 1 whether the external hard drive can be kept in the console or not if its not being used and if that effects the data stored?

Thank you if you attempt to answer my questions, as you can clearly see I've never used an external hard drive for consoles. I just want some clarification as to how it can be kept, meaning can it be plugged it constantly in the console or ejected once
you switch off the console, because I'm considering to invest in an external hard drive so that I'm not held back in the future, memory wise. Thank you.

 

Hey there -

What is the make and model of the external hard drive you are trying to connect to? Having that will help us look into things a bit more.

Thanks!
