    Media player app connection?


    The media player app will launch, and my upstairs PC shows up in the list of available network devices. It appears to connect properly on click, but all the folders show "No files found". Upstairs desktop sees the Xbox and I have the permissions set to
    full allow. Anyone know what folders the Xbox scans for pictures, music, videos, etc? Thanks!

    :)

    Loving the new app. It fast forwards and rewinds quicker than any device I own and has wide file coverage. But I'd like to change the two row view of the thumbs. Some directories I have consist of 500plus files so I'd like more of a grid layout for better browsing of the thumbs.

    Is there a way a can change the layout?

    Black issues with an XBOX One S and the media player

    Which is the best method of playback from a NAS quality wise.

    Media Player (Standard DNLA default app)

    Plex app - accessing same files on a plex Server

    Entertainment>My films & TV>Personal>Media Servers
    (The interface is different in this method compared to the stock DLNA media player app)

    Media Center

    Xbox One will be supporting DLNA on it's media player app with the upcoming October dashboard update, so this should be possible without problems.

    It's already possible to stream media towards the One with the windows media player, but with the next update the One will be able to browse for DLNA servers within the network it's connected to.

    Why can't the ONE play the same media files as 360 ???

    Open the media player app. When you run the Media Player app, select your external USB drive, and then select the media that you want to play.

    Bring Windows Media Center Back!

    They now have a Media Player app that will read items either from a USB or your computer. Please search the App Store for the Media Player app and install it.

    Media Player Not showing MKV files.

    There are no warnings or error messages.

    When I select all video's in the Media Player App, it shows all my videos on my media server apart from the mkv videos.

    I know there are mkv videos on the media server, but the Xbox Media Player App doesn't show them.

    EDIT- I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Media Player App. That didn't solve the problem.
