New beta build rolling out

A new 1404 system update starting to deploy tonight!

We have started to deploy the latest 1404 update (xb_rel_1404.140331-2200). Consoles that are in standby mode will be able to install the update starting at 7:30PM PDT on 4/2. Consoles that have not received the update in standby mode by 1:00AM PDT on 4/4
will be prompted to install the update when they connect to Xbox Live. The following changes are contained within this build:

Fixes

• Ongoing fixes and adjustments to the user interface.
• Additional fixes to address audio crackling sound encountered when Dolby Digital is enabled.
  
• Fixes for Blu-ray software issues that can result in 0x21 or 0x87de07d1 errors.
  

• Update to address an issue where ejecting a Blu-ray disc after the drive is idle can result in the disc being pulled back in, requiring a second eject command.
  
• Fix to address Kinect not responding to “yes” or “no” after issuing the “Xbox, turn off” command.
  
• Updates to reduce or eliminate Blu-ray drive “seeking” sounds after drive is idle (experienced in the 1403 update.)
  
• *NEW CONTROLLER FIRMWARE UPDATE*

• • Update to help address controller disconnect issues.
  • Update to help address headset adapter audio quality.

• Fix for LiveTV audio outputting in stereo instead of surround sound.
• Update for the Blu-ray player to fix an issue where it can freeze if left idle or paused for an extended period of time.
  
• Update to fix an issue where fast forwarding or rewinding an external video source results in screen freezing when surround sound is enabled.
  
• Fix for video playback stuttering while audio plays back normally in several apps (Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, etc.)
  

Features Enabled

• Game save progress bar will now display when syncing cloud game saves.
• 50Hz Blu-ray player support for content recorded at 50Hz.
• Improved GameDVR video quality.
• Online friends notification, including the ability to filter notifications to all friends, favorites only, or disable friends online notifications altogether.
  
• *NEW FEATURE* Requested by the update preview community: Manually install available updates. If a new system update is detected as available, a button will appear under Settings,System that will display “System Update.” Note:
  this feature is being enabled after this current update completes installation. This feature will be available to preview when the next update is made available.
  
• *NEW FEATURE* A new ability to automatically redeem a license code from console messages. For future console messages that include a 5x5 license code, a new option will appear to allow you to automatically redeem the license, versus having to copy
  and paste the license code.

Known Issues

• Some preview participants may encounter an issue where the Blu-ray drive will not ingest a disc after the console has been idle for a period of time. The disc will need to be removed and re-inserted for the disc to be ingested. A fix for this issue is currently
  being tested.
• Some preview participants may encounter an issue where some non-Blu-ray disc media types are pulled back into the Blu-ray disc drive after being ejected, requiring a second eject command. A fix for this issue is currently being tested.
  
• In this version of the 1404 update, the startup process of a console doing a cold boot up (systems that are configured for power saving mode, versus instant on) will encounter a delay of approximately 30 seconds, during which a solid black screen is displayed.
  This issue is not present for consoles powering up from a standby state. A fix for this issue is currently being tested.
  
• During silent update installation some devices controlled by the Xbox One via IR (TVs, receivers) may power up in the middle of the update process and not power back down. The developers are investigating this issue.

Test Live Connection to Sign In XBOX Live

This is the beta update. It is beta testing no more and rolling out.

 

Looking for people to play with

Hi Guys i've started a new forum (Global Gaming) and looking for members and get it rolling. I looking to build a base for friendly banter, arrange sessions, meet new gamers etc.

Check it out at www.alienterprises.net

 

Yay!!! Can't wait for the notifications. I always forget to check and see who is online once I start playing TF or PvZ.

 

Probably shouldn't have labeled this as a beta build rolling out. This is a full system patch, not a beta.

 

Anybody know if this will fix the problems that people have been reporting with the Polk headsets? I've held off this long buying one but it won't be long before I go get some Turtle Beach.

 

Also, you got a link? I have not seen this on xbox wire, tweeted by Major Nelson or reported by any other news outlet.

 

How do i post clickable links in a post on these forums? Cant find anything in rich formatting, heres the link anyways :-s

^ lol never mind, for some reason it worked this time.

 

some people are even saying its faster and a performance in games like bf4 no idea like what though

 

@CAM its for the april beta preview thats all if you read it ur know that it wont b on xbox wire will it. its on the preview forums which you cant se unless u r part of it

 

@Ghost My xbox has been much faster after the March update, apps run much smoother than before so if its even better that'll be great, really hoping some game run better, but I'm not getting my hopes up for that.

 

@Ghostz well if its the preview then, this thread belongs there not in the general discussion. How is it that no one in the update preview knows to report and discuss all preview items there?

 

You dont have to discuss the preview in the preview forum. There is no NDA so it can be discussed here. I am glad Ghots posted because the preview forum is atrocious. But if you feel its out of place report the thread.

 

@CAM i posted it here for people who are in the preview beta but dont go on the preview beta forums iv only gone on there a hand ful of times
