september update rolling out

The friends tab is still in preview at the moment wont be released yet.

 

I believe the boot to TV option may resolve my issues with TV on the X1. I have been unable to have TV hooked to the X1 because I have people in the house who do not know what to do with an xbox controller, and are unwilling to learn. However, if all they
have to do is turn it on, I think it may work. Looking forward to this update so I can finally use the oneguide!

EDIT: As long as the issue of the TV app not starting properly half the time has been corrected as well, that is. When I had TV hooked up, half the time the app would launch and TV would be frozen on screen and never recover. I would have to quit the app
and relaunch to make it work. (Sometimes a console reboot would be needed)

 

i found septembers update underwelming none of the new features really interested me. please microsoft for octobers update give us the friends tab and customizable backgrounds

 

Well, I attempted to put the TV back on the 360 and it's still a no-go for me. My family just doesn't understand/will not tolerate the extra step of having to turn on the X1.

So, my suggestion to MS for a future update is:

-Toggle Option - Allow HDMI passthrough while in standby mode

While I understand that the X1 is not capable of a passive HDMI passthrough, this would require the X1 to be technically powered on while in standby. (Maybe in a lesser power state if that's possible) What would essentially happen is when you turn off the
X1, it would shut down, then flip to TV without any overlay support or oneguide. It just simply transfers what's coming in the "in" HDMI port, back out the "out" HDMI port, just like a passive passthough would work.

If this were implemented, I could finally have TV hooked up to my X1 because the others in my family wouldn't have to touch the X1 to use the TV when I'm not around.

 

still needs voice messaging.

 

Sweet you can use external hard drives, just tried it out and it works great.

 

Is the miniguide feature working for anyone? I have no clue how to make it work.

 

What miniguide feature? You mean Snap Center? It was never announced to be included in this update.

 

I read about the miniguide here:
www.theverge.com/.../xbox-one-media-player-september-update

"The update includes a number of improvements focused at the TV integration on the Xbox One, including a boot to TV option, live TV mini guide, and an expansion of Microsoft’s OneGuide TV guide data to Brazil, Mexico, Austria, and Ireland."

 

There is a mini guide for live tv no idea how it works though.

 

The D pad is used for the miniguide when the TV app is running GY. )

 

Up or down to activate it. )

 

Is it possible to activate it using the media remote?

 

Yes, up or down on the media remote activates the mini guide Csr909. )

 

Yea unfortunately nothing happens when I press a those buttons on the controller or remote.
