    Not recognizing USB driveI'


    I'm trying to plug in a thumb drive to play a few videos on my Xbox One, but it won't even recognize that I've plugged it in.

    I've tried the troubleshooting provided on the site to no avail. I know the thumb drive works, as I've plugged it into multiple computers with no issue. I know the ports aren't bad I have an external hard drive connected to my Xbox and it works in all 3 of
    them.

    Any suggestions?

    :)

    bangorbr0z,

    If you are plugging in a separate USB with videos, have you tried downloading and launching the Media Player application?

    Let me know if that app recognizes the USB.

    I have the media player app installed. No joy. The only thing the app seems to recognize is my modem/router.

  7. Make sure its NTFS formatted also some reported that some wouldn't be recognised while an external was plugged in.

    Is your USB encrypted by any chance?
