    Media Player app still freezing!


    Nearly every time I stream movies from my computer to my Xbox One via the Media Player app it freezes. It seems to do it more if I pause, rewind or fast forward the movie. I have my computer hooked up to a network and my Xbox One is connected to the same
    network. My 360 never froze and when I first got my Xbox One I don't remembering happening much either, though lately it happens all the time. I don't think its the router because I never have problems connecting to the internet. Also, you'd think with
    this "better" console that it would come with a skip a chapter function and remember where I left off like on the 360. Every time it freezes I have to back out and fast forward to where I was and risk it freezing more. Streaming MP4's shouldn't be this much
    hassle.

    :)

    Media player app

    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?

    Media Player Plugins Altered?

    Hi, all Media Player app still freezing! :).

    XBO Media Player is my most-used app... Mainly because I started converting my collection of movies/series' in 2008, and that is still the case now. Anyway, since NXOE, the plugins that Media Player uses seem to be malfunctioning/faulty. Most (if not all)
    digital media files are hanging/freezing at the beginning, and stay that way for 20-30 seconds.

    They were all playing fine prior to NXOE, so I can only guess it's the plugins (or the app has changed significantly). My experience leads me to believe it's definitely the plugins, but I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the same (or similar) issues?

    Kind regards.

    DJM.

    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.

    Media Player Unavailable?

    Not working for me still either. Why the heck is the media player app tied to the xbox live service? I'm using it to play external media, not stream from Xbox or something.

    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.

    I got a part of the update. Still need the Friends section and I'm really looking forward to the Media Player app.
