    Media Player is Terrible


    The Xbox One Media player is so far behind the launch media player with the 360, Some of my issues with it;

    1. It only plays videos, you can't turn it off and resume later, it just plays them from the start.

    2. It automatically plays the next Video, how annoying, I want to watch a movie from my Movies folder than It just plays the next one.

    3. It only has pause, fast forward and rewind options, the 360 had subtitles, screen size options for stretch and wide, info on the video, how long remaining.

    4. I have to browse through unnecessary folders, Computer/Videos/Folders/Videos/ Only 4 clicks but the Xbox 360 would just open up my Videos folder first time. The Media browser in the Media Center I could even set my own file paths for where my videos would
    be and it would display them all with the Movie/Series art work in a very cool way. The Xbox One just has video thumbnails, way behind 360 Media Center.

    Is there a fix on the way for any of this stuff? I'd love to be able to use My Xbox one as comfortably as I use my 360.

    PS

    One cool thing I like is the Kinnect Voice commands that most of the time recognize which video I'm telling the device to play, even If I have to say, "Xbox - play Big Bang Theory S08E03"

    :)

    I agree. This has been one of the biggest let downs I've encountered with the One. God forbod you accidentally hit right or left too. Then you need to go back and start and fast forward. Its all very primitive and not what I think any of us have come to
    expect from Xbox.
