New Xbox App remote swipe navigation not working

My media remote has stopped working, but only in certain apps. It works fine otherwise but will not navigate: Youtube, Netflix or XBox fit. Anyone else?

The remote works fine with all other apps on Xbox One. It navigates all other Xbox Functionality without any issues. Microsoft's own Smartglass will not control YouTube either.

Got Smartglass running on my Kindle Fire and it works surprisingly well, though I wish there was a way to change the direction of the swipe gesture to navigate.

I don't think you're missing anything, no, but here's what I'm thinking - unless I'm mistaken, the different features of Smartglass only work in certain areas - so, the swiping screen with the colored corner buttons I believe only works on areas like the
dashboard navigation, navigating websites, and maybe a few other areas. Likewise, "second-screen" only works in the games that are programmed to use it.

So, I don't think (unless a game is specifically programmed this way) that the Media Remote feature will work in a game as a type of controller extension, unfortunately. It would actually be really cool if it could - maybe in a future update. But as of now,
since they call it a Media Remote, I'm thinking (for now) that it's only used for navigation or remote control options.

I might suggest adding this as a suggestion to the Xbox User Voice site! If you go to feedback.xbox.com you will be able to search for this and it will show you if anyone has suggested it. If not, you can actually submit it as your own idea (and they have
already added a number of good ideas from that site, so they listen! Try searching for something like "Use Smartglass as Controller" or "use Media Remote buttons in Games" for example. Would be a great addition!

Hi.

When you are using an app and want to get back to the Xbox home screen with the media remote, tap the Power On/Home button (the big "Xbox" button at the top) to reveal the guide and select "Home."

If you wish to completely close an app, press the Power On/Home button to access the guide, navigate the guide to highlight the app you wish to close, tap the Menu (hamburger) button, and navigate to "Quit" on the context menu.
