Movie watching glitch

JerryAbson · Apr 15, 2014

Guys, posted a comment about this before, when it was affecting VUDU and Netflix, but now its actually all instances where DVD's are affected.

If any profile is set to log on using Kinect, whenever we watch a movie, using any video app including DVD's, once they walk in the room, it logs them in and boots us back to the home screen.

If we set the accounts to log on with a passcode, it doesnt.

Perhaps the next update can have a control where when the XBOne is playing video, and someone enters the Kinects sensor, it logs them in without disrupting video playback. Also, an option to NOT show friends logging into Live when watching Video playback
as well?

Watching movies

Why is it that when I am watching a movie which I purchased on my Xbox it cuts out 1/2 way thru the movie. This has happened with the last 3 movies I have watched.

Xbox One 2017 update - Media player glitch

so I recently updated my Xbox and quickly discovered a glitch with the media player + the new home button control. Essentially when I am watching a movie via my external HDD and I press the home button, the new side bar appears - but at that point my movies
stops playing - and it will start playing the movie before the one I was with watching - like going back one down the list.

It's really annoying if I want to come out of a movie to check on a game install or read a message.

Anyone else had this issue?

I also have this problem about not being able to watch movies and tv some it must be a glitch or fault.

it should be patched very soon

That happens because the optional media update that you have to download to watch those files is protected by DRM, just like downloaded XBLA games. It happened to me when I got a new console and connected my old hard drive to it. To fix it, I deleted the
optional media update off the hard drive and made a new Silver Live account and downloaded it again (for some reason it wouldn't work if I downloaded it again using my regular gamertag). Then any gamertag could watch files on that console without being logged
into Live, and I deleted the temporary Silver gamertag.

Hey there Tin! Are you saying you rented two movies and it won't allow you to watch the first movie you rented? Will it let you watch the second movie? What error does it give you when you try to watch the first movie?

Dear both, thanks for your help. None of the hints was working. Same error message. Please keep in mind I was already able to buy and watch another movie 1-2 weeks ago. Nevertheless I tried to reboot/disconnect my box. And also to reinstall the movies app.
The box is also up to date and shows that all services are available. I only skipped the profile deletion because I guess this will also delete my content?

Any other idea? Thanks.
