    UWP apps confusion


    So I am a little new to UWP apps....

    I had netflix on my xbox. I do not have it on my windows 10 computer. Did the netflix app on the xbox automatically download the uwp version? Or do I have to install netflix on my windows 10 pc before itll send the uwp version to my xbox?

    How do I know it is the uwp version? Also, when browsing the store im assuming there wont be a uwp netflix and a windows 10 netflix? so it wont be labeled uwp netflix or uwp yahoo mail etc.?

    :)

    Bitstream Audio Dolby Atmos on UHD Bluray

    I've got quite an expensive home cinema system with Dolby Atmos and DTS-X support on the receiver, however when playing UHD blurays I can't seem to find options to allow the Xbox One S to output bitstream audio to the receiver.

    I understand that the Insider builds will allow this feature.

    Can this be enabled for me please? I am a UWP developer and have Xbox One UWP apps on the Windows Store so am hoping that this would qualify me to be able to receive these updates.

    gamertag:

    Thanks

    UWP apps confusion

    Hey HBK SeanMichael,

    UWP means Universal Windows Plattform. That means that a Developer only need to develop one App that can be used across Windows 10 PC, Windows 10 Mobile and Xbox One. The Stores of all these devices are merged into one store. So you dont need to worry about
    it stated as UWP it most certainly will be a UWP then.

    The Netflix App found on Xbox One is indeed already the UWP Version, aswell as Groove, Onedrive, Hulu and stuff. They should all share your experience across your Win10 devices.

    If you search for Netflix on your Xbox One and look under the Description there is stated:

    Available on: Xbox One, PC, Mobile device. Any app thats labeled in that way is always a UWP App.
