message to download the media player on xbox one

If you go into the Preview Dashboard app, find the Quest that relates to using the app and there should be a download link within there.

Let us know how you get on.

Windows Media Player already installed in Windows 7 (or a free download if you have the N version). Xbox One Media Player to play that content. You can control all playback functions with Kinect.

Alternatively purchase NAS with built in media server. Use Xbox One's Media Player to playback content. Use Kinect to control playback.

Buy a media remote if you don't have Kinect.

You seem to be adding needlessly complex steps to your media playback.

You can remotely connect your One to your PC as well if you download the Media Player app on the console.

The USB comment was an alternative way to get the download over searching for it on the marketplace.

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.
