    The Media Player on Xbox One


    So, first of all. I'm not here to bash the system, I would just really appreciate it if in their endeavors at some point, they upgrade the Media Player on the Xbox One. My reason for this is its inability to use subtitles and complete lack of options overall,
    meaning. Theres no chapters for the downloaded content you know we all stream, right.. we all do it, dont deny it. and the side scrolling of the Xbox One completely loses the battle compared to the up and down scrolling of the Xbox 360. As stated before, Subtitles,
    why cant we get them? They come with our downloaded content, we know how to use them. There just isnt an option provided with the Xbox One Media Player... After all, it is supposed to be a media content bundle all wrapped up in one device, and dont get me
    wrong, I, myself. Love the Xbox One, it really is a great system, I just wish they would focus on improving the little things a little more, just a little bit.. you know. It can't be that hard, more "Options" Microsoft, Netflix is great, but its not always
    the best turn to make. With all that said, thank you guys for doing what you do and I hope that in the future we could see more for the Media Player.

    :)

    Xbox One Extender Drivers for Windows 7 Home PC Network

    I got it working. I had the Digital Media Renderer No driver found error.

    I then went into Windows Media Player. Under Stream I selected Automatically allow devices to play media. Then under Stream,
    More Streaming Options I made sure the Xbox One was allowed from the Windows Media Player, I right clicked on a movie/video in my library and selected "Play To" and then Xbox One. I heard the movie start.

    I went to media center on the xbox one and all files are now showing

    Media Library on Xbox One

    I thought that the xbox One was initially an all-in-one gaming / media platform. Could someone provide an update regarding the Media Player on Xbox One?

    I would like be able to use a USB Drive to store / play my media files, but with the capability of having a decent Media Library interface to display artwork and perhaps some information regarding the media file, etc to make the media player easy to use
    and informative. It currently appears to be no more than a simply version of Windows Explorer?

    The only information I can find about Media Libraries on Xbox One, is if you stream media via DLNA servers (which I don't really see the point in streaming files if you can use a USB drive direct)?

    Can an updated Media Player be included in a future update?

    How to connect XBOX ONE X to a home NAS?

    Hey Michael,

    Thanks for your response! If your NAS supports DLNA, the Xbox One will be able to play media using the

    "Media Player"     application. Simply open Media Player, allow it to detect the server on your network, browse your media, and play!

    I hope this information helps, thanks again!

    Media Player Unavailable?

    I am having the exact same issue. Uninstalled Media Player and now it's unavailable... Very frustrating. Why does Xbox One Media Player feel like a huge step back from Xbox 360 Media Player?

    Xbox One - My Home Theater Device: Perks and Consequences

    Windows Media Player already installed in Windows 7 (or a free download if you have the N version). Xbox One Media Player to play that content. You can control all playback functions with Kinect.

    Alternatively purchase NAS with built in media server. Use Xbox One's Media Player to playback content. Use Kinect to control playback.

    Buy a media remote if you don't have Kinect.

    You seem to be adding needlessly complex steps to your media playback.
