Watching videos off an external hardrive

TomFrase · Jan 1, 2014

Hi, I spend probably every night watching tv shows/movies off of my external hardrive via my xbox 360. Now I have the xbox one and can't figure out how to do this. Is there a way? Will there be a way? If so, how long must I endure this agony?

My xbox turns on the off

My xbox one worked perfectly with my external hardrive. This morning though I turned it on and it just kept turning off after the xbox logo was brought up. I have it plugged directly into an outlet if I unplug my external hard I've it will work. But I have
half of my games on my external harddrivem it worked before this morning perfectly and now every time I plug it in it just shuts off and won't fully start unless I unplug my external hardrive.

there isn't a way to do it yet.

I think this will be an addition in a future update. Or at least I hope so. Being on a Mac, does not allow for easy streaming of music and Videos to the Xbox One for me.

if you have an external hardrive try taking that off then starting it then turning it off and replacing the drive. it fixed mine last night!

ok thanks I was thinking about transfering music or videos or pictures from PC. Is that do able?

the hardrive that comes with the 500 gb xbox 360 is that inside or attachable?

cause i have a external hardrive that holds 30 gb that i connected to my old xbox 360. Can that connect to new xbox 360?

how would you move the 500 gb hardrive to a new console i assume its inside?

assuming i get red ring of death.

I think the best thing to do then is get games on the 500 gb part and use external for game saves?

assuming i can attache the 30 gb hardrive to new console.
