    Streaming?

    The information is out there and yes you can use a USB thumbdrive.

    Using the USB ports on your Xbox One console

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/usb-port-use

    If you have a USB 3.0 external drive that has a capacity of 256 GB or more, you can use it to store games and apps. Or, you can use the drive to store media.

    If you have a USB drive that doesn’t meet these requirements, you can still use it to store media.

    Xbox Media Player FAQ | Video, Photo, and Audio on Xbox One

    You can play media from a USB 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 removable drive. USB 1.0 and 2.0 drives will automatically be treated as media drives.

    How can I stream content from my Mac?
    To share from a Mac computer, you have to use a third-party streaming solution. Be aware that Microsoft does not support third-party streaming solutions, so you'll have to contact that product's manufacturer if you need support.

  3. Recording audio from the XBox

    If you have a USB flash drive or external hard drive, you can copy the music to the drive, plug the drive into the Xbox One, and play it from there (using Xbox Media Player or another app).

    As a side note, consider looking for an external USB disc drive if you still need to use discs on your computer for whatever reason. Most laptops and other computers are ditching disc readers nowadays, but you can pick up a USB disc
    drive for around $30-40, last I checked.

    xbox one console/media player won't register usb drive

    There are many of us having problems with external storage devices since the latest update. It sucks I have tried everything and after all the time spent now I have wasted my money on buying a 128GB USB Thumbdrive. This update has been costly for many
    in both time spent troubleshooting and now hardware that is rendered useless.

    Just FYI here is my issue:

    USB device unavailable HELP!!!!!

    I've been using a workaround for a few weeks. It's kind of obvious and won't work for everyone, but I thought I'd mention it. If you have a router with a USB port and that will serve media, just plug the drive into your router. The XBox One Media Player
    will reliable play stuff from that drive, with no disconnects. This method also lets any other devices on your network to access that media.

    See videos of my pc on my xbox one...

    Hello Auger,

    We thank you for bringing this inquiry to our forums community, and understand that this concerns how to stream videos that are on your PC to your Xbox One console.

    There are a couple of ways to do this, you can choose to connect your PC to the same network as the Xbox One console, and the media player app will allow you to choose your PC as a player type and therefore allow access to your PC files, or you can also
    move those files to your OneDrive as mentioned by Vondiehmon, and play those videos through the OneDrive option within the media player app.

    Another method would be to save those files to a USB drive, or an external hard drive, and then insert that into one of the USB ports on your Xbox One console. You can find more information regarding the media player through our
    Video, photo, and audio on Media Player for Xbox One FAQ.

    Try these for us and then let us know the results.

    Best wishes!

    XBox 360 zeigt JPG-Bilder nicht an (DVD+R mit 669 Bildern) [Translation: XBox 360 displays JPG images not to (DVD + R with 669 photos)]

    Hey there mamolear!

    What happens when you try to view the photos on your console? Does it just not register the DVD-R at all?

    You could try putting the photos on a formatted
    USB drive
    and viewing them from there.

    You could also try setting up media streaming from your PC to your console to view your pictures like that. Here's a link to our
    stream media using Xbox Music, Xbox Video, or Windows Media Player support article which should walk you through everything you need.

    I hope that helps! ^_^
