Playing Media on Xbox One OVER 2TB.

Having the same problem with media player on my Xbox One S playing .mp4 files off of a 2TB drive, exactly as described by "NeutronOverload".

I switched over to ACG player for now which is only ok-ish. The ads are slightly annoying, popping up only once during binge play, but playback is better than VLC, (the contrast issue)

I hope an update fixes this issue with media player soon.

I never used the external HD for other types of files other than games, I also use one of the western digital 1tb, before it ran normal ?!

Yes, I can still access files put on the drive before I went over 2Tb and got into that last terabyte. Those files beyond the 2tb mark can be selected but every media player (Xbox Media Player, VLC, and Scorpio Player) all throw errors when trying to open
the files. The exact message I get from the XBox is...

Can't Play

Please try again. The the problem continues....yadda yadda yadda...

I've even take a file written way back when the drive was new and made a copy of it on the same drive. Old version still loads, new version throws error. So it's totally XBox O.S. related. Has nothing to do with the storage other than it can't deal with
drives over 2TB.

Everything I've found on this via the web or community says it is. Xbox wont read over 2tb for media. Period. Despite their saying they support large storage.

Evidently they only support large storage for games. Not media.

Theres no fix anywhere. Its [Mod removed- profanity]

Acronis Disk Director will allow you to format the drive to FAT32 and 32 Kb cluster size aka allocation size... this allows for the device to be seen as media drive on the Xbox 360... it is worth a shot to try this for the One. If you get it to work as a
media drive on the One please let me know as I will promptly go purchase it.

Note: With a 2TB and smaller drive you can use as both media drive and part of the space as storage for the Xbox 360 (up to 32GB). With 2TB+ you can ONLY use it as media drive. I do not know how you intend to use it but keep this in mind.

Hi TG,

Actually it could well be a format issue. I found countless unanswered requests about situations like yours in these forums.

And it really seems to be the same issue I was experiencing:

• partition <= 2TB: all media content (mkv in my case) is playing fine
• partition > 2TB: content added after 2TB cannot be played by the Xbox One (0xc00d11cd)

What worked for me is to format the partition in MBR. The only tool I found that is able to perform this with a larger than 2TB partition is WD Quick Formatter.

I spent a month trying crazy things to make it work before WD Quick Formatter saved me from insanity.
