    Problem with the Home button skipping tracks in the media player


    Since the latest update in April 2017, the Xbox Home button is skipping tracks. I use the media player app to frequently watch TV shows and movies I have stored on my
    NAS, and it functioned wonderfully prior to the update. I really liked that when I switched between watching a show/movie, to playing a game – or anything else for that matter – the video would continue playback from right where I left off. However, since
    the update, any video will no longer continue playback from where I left off and when I press the Home button during playback, it will skip to the previous video/track. This basically kills any functional use for this app. The skipping issue and having to navigate
    through my directory over and over, just to get back to the show I was watching, gets real old, real fast.

    What happened since this update?! I can understand removing the snap feature for stability/speed improvements. But you have really neutered the "ease of use" of this
    device. I actually liked pressing the Home button once to take me directly to the main "Home" screen. You've now made it an overly convoluted process of pushing 3 buttons to do the same thing that once took only one button push!!! Really!?!?!?! That's
    bad design and functionality. It was very intuitive to press it once for Home and double tap for the side menu. Sure, one could argue, "Oh, man up, it's only two extra pushes of a button"... But why should they? You took something intuitive, easy to use,
    and generally worked 99% of the time, and changed it to something less so. Why???

    I rarely take any time to leave feedback when something I use gets updated and has a few new quirks, I learn to adapt and deal. But this... no. You are getting feedback
    because this is just a s*** update. Bring back the simplicity, and at a minimum, fix the Home button skipping to the previous track issue.

  3. Xbox One Media Remote not working on PIN Passcode Sign in screen since Feb update

    Ever since the Feb Software update you can no longer use the Media Remote to sign in at the PIN screen.

    It will not let you use the Play/Pause, Stop, Next Track, Previous Track, Forward, Back buttons to select the 0-9 digits on the pin number passcode screen.

    This worked perfectly before the Feb Update.

    Issues is with all profiles, even with a new profile.

    Media Remote buttons all work fine in other apps like xbox music etc.

    Have done a full system restart, replaced batteries, everything.

    The Feb update has broken the ability of the Media Remote to be used to sign in!

    Help!

    Xbox one Photo app issue

    Hello Vain,

    Thanks, for coming to the forums with your questions. In the photo app there may be changes to the buttons. As B button works everywhere else it may be set to not back up in the photo app itself.

    As for setting a default media player, there is no way to set a default media player. You can pin them to the home screen. VLC is a good media player also.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Xbox One Official Media Remote is now VERY slow

    Other than the lag it has, my biggest annoyance is that I can no longer use the play forward or back buttons, the rewind and fast-forward ones work but I can't skip to the next episode in the Media Player app.

    audio description how to turn off on Xbox x media player

    Ok.. I got that...

    Sadly, using the Media Player the default audio and video track are the one's that are used. There's no way to select an alternate track...

    By the way you can try to install another media player app from the Microsoft store like VLC..

    Windows Media Center

    The option isn't there for dual-track support in .avi files in Windows, Media Centre or Media Player either, or if it is then I've never managed to find it.

    I'm afraid your only options are to turn the files into a DVD where the 360 will be able to switch between audio tracks or watch on your PC using a program like VLC Media Player.
