    USB Hard Disk

    I am wondering how to access content on an external USB hard disk. Is it possible to play videos from USB Hard Disks on the Xbox One?

    Crash to dashboard

    I purchased an xbox one s three days ago brand new. I installed skyrim and had no issues playing it. The disk is not damaged and is also new. The game will start for a few seconds on the title screen then return to the dashboard. Ive tried a hard reset,
    uninstall and re install, downloaded blu ray player, removed saved data and profile aswell. All i can find help wise on the internet is a hard reset which does nothing.

    USB drive, external drive didn't work with Xbox one.

    You can already use USB Flash drives and hard drives on Xbox One to view videos, music and pictures. To view these files you first need to download the Media Player Preview App from the Xbox One Marketplace. Connect your device and load the app.

    To use an external hard drive for Xbox One storage, the device itself must be at least 256GB and USB 3.0. Which means the external storage for Xbox One data must be a hard drive, USB Flash drives are not supported for Xbox One storage.

    Media Player difficulty! Media Player doesn't recognise external hard drive, can anyone help?

    If your external HDD is partitioned for use as X1 storage, I'm fairly certain Media Player won't recognise it as a media storage device, and so won't be checking it for audio/video/image files. It'll basically be an extension of X1 storage.

    The Media Player isn't all that great. I don't think it's even complete software. It does have 'preview' in the title still. lol I can only get the X1/Media Player to detect my tablet, phone, and laptop by using Universal Media Server, a free piece of software
    that let's you organise what files can and can't be shared/streamed across devices.

    If you Google you should find a free download. But that would mean you'd have to plug your external HDD into something other than your One, and have UMS set up to find it and make streaming content to the X1's Media Player a thing. =|
