    XBOX ONE Media Player App, play by track number instead of alphabetical file order.


    I have a thumb drive connected to my XBOX ONE with my music collection on it. When I play an album its playing the songs in alphabetical order by the actual file name. How do I get it to play them by the ID3 track number info? The info is there in the MP3
    files. I cannot find any settings menu for the actual App itself, only for the XBOX.

    :)

    Media Player error 0xc00d36c4 streaming MKV from PC

    Maybe someone could at least confirm for me whether this is even a use-case that is expected to work?Is it expected that you can stream MKV video using the Media Player app on Xbox One from a Win8.1 PC media library?

    I have subsequently tried to re-pro the issue on a fresh build of Win8.1 on a different PC on my home network, using the same MKV files, and same Media Streaming options. In this case Media Player app on XB1 does not even list the MKV files within this media
    library. Maybe this is the default behaviour instead?

    On the PC hosting the MKV files with which the Media Player app gives error 0xc00d36c4, I once had some third-party MKV codecs installed (CCCP) so that I could watch MKVs in Media Player 12 for Windows 8. Once MS added MKV support to the Video app in Win8.1
    I uninstalled these third-party codecs. Could this be the only reason that the Media Player app on XB1 sees the MKV files in this media library, and it isn't even supposed to?

    Just discovered this myself. It truly is embarrassing, the sheer incompetence of Microsoft to create a 'media player' app that can't even recognize things like track numbers. I'm actually speechless.

    And Groove is a trial on the XBOX? So I assume you have to pay a subscription when the trial runs out? It's free on the PC though? What's up with that?

    edere File Video su Pc sulla Xbox 360[Translation-E.O. Video Files on PC on Xbox 360]

    The Xbox (and other media devices) don't access your media files directly. Instead they use something called DLNA, which requires your PC to have indexed your media library.

    Then only the index is read by the Xbox (or other media players), and according to that index, you choose the files to play.

    If you moved files around, or the index became corrupted, the Xbox can't find the media files anymore.

    Please start the Windows Media player on your PC, and check that in that Media Player library, your media files are shown and are working correctly.

    If the Media Player can't locate your media, the Xbox 360 can't get to the media as well.
