    Smartglass control not working in Video Apps


    Hi

    I have a Lumia 950XL and usually control my Xbox One via the Smartglass app. It mostly works fine including some apps like Skype, but when I start any video app, like YouTube or Netflix the controls stops working, or at least the A button and swiping does
    not work anymore. The edge buttons like B, Y, X and Home seems to still work. The remote control via the Xbox app on Windows 10 desktop (no touch screen) seems to still work too. So the problem seems to be with touch/swiping controls on the Smartglass app
    for Windows 10 Mobile.

    I saw that there was a couple of other posts about this, but they where just closed, with some Staff claiming that this has been fix years ago, but it has clearly NOT been fixed!!! Man up MS, and get control on your quality issues. This is MS product (W10
    mobile) talking to another MS product (Xbox one) via a MS App (Smartglass) how can you fail to get this to work flawlessly????

    :)

    Some smartglass questions

    I will probably get a One before the year's end, and I have some smartglass questions.
    First, are we sure the smartglass app works for Amazon's Kindle tablet? Second, if I still use my cable company's DVR, can I control that from my Kindle, like can I set up a show to record from my Kindle? Can I use the smartglass app from anywhere my tablet has an internet connection? Can I watch TV from my tablet? Does the SmartGlass operate the youtube app?
    Thanks.

    Netflix and Xbox one app controller not working

    Its not the hardware controller that's the problem... its the app controller that allows you to control Netflix from within the Xbox and smartglass app. The "a" touch button and scrolling do not work. The physical hardware Xbox controller works fine.

    Nokia Lumia 520 VS Nokia Lumia 720

    @Ninja, I know that's the case but that's what I understood the query to be. In order to play games you need to be using an Xbox 360 controller, but for navigating the OS menus and apps and controlling video playback Smartglass is a great alternative.

    Xbox One Messaging is Just Bad...

    I use the Xbox One SmartGlass app for all my messaging, works perfectly. Using a controller to type something out seems like more work than it needs to be. Get keyboard or just use SmartGlass.

    How do you control Xbox One with a Universal Remote?

    I looked high and low as my wife doesn't like using the controller to control movies - I downloaded the smartglass app and it works fantastIc for controlling the blu ray player.
