    Xbox One Media Player Not Longer Sees My Media


    I returned from vacation and plugged in my 1TB external harddrive (WD Passport Wireless) and the X1 media player says there are no files on the drive. I purchased a new 3.0 cable and have the same issue. I plugged the drive into my computer and all files
    are there as expected. I also plugged in a different media drive and it works just fine. I noticed there were two system updates but don't see a correlation. I have been using this setup for the last 5 months without issue. Would much prefer to not reformat
    due to the drive containing over 700GB

    Any others having this problem or have found a solution?

    :)

    Media Player and Seagate Backup Plus Portable detection issue

    I recently got a 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Portable drive as a media storage, the XB1 detects it fine, Media Player will INITIALLY recognize it and play stably...Problem is....

    When I shift to a game then shift back to Media Player, Media Player no longer recognizes the drive. XB1 still sees it, Media Player does not, and the only method for Media Player to once again recognize the Seagate is a HARD REBOOT.

    Media Player and MP4's

    Greetings...

    Does the XB1 Media Player support MP4's ? It sees the WMV files on my Media Server, but not the MP4's.

    TIA

    Xbox One Media Player Not Longer Sees My Media

    yeah, on all 5 of my flash sticks, it detects the sticks just fine, but cant for whatever reason detect any media files, not even ones loaded to the root directory.

    XBOX ONE Media Player no longer finds music on network

    Corrected when trying to stream music on my XBOX One from my PC using media player app, I do this because playlists are also playable, the music files are no longer found. Video files and picture files are still able to be streamed. I am wondering since
    the add of music to onedrive and xbox music did they remove the ability to stream music with media player. on another note the media player on the One is awful compared the players on the 360.

    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!
