Xbox one S video format support

Hi all,

I might be considering the Xbox One S as I am looking for a good media player anyhow.

A few things I am wondering however:

What file types does the console support?

Is 4k x265 HEVC 10bit one of them?

I have a Samsung KS8000 4k HDR TV and playing 4k X265 10bit files gives lots of stutters. Therefore, I want to make sure the above file play smoothly without issues

Many thanks!

:)

 

Set up my Xbox One S to play AVI videos from PC Easily

I got the great Xbox One S, after set up my Xbox One S to play AVI videos from PC. While, I found out that their Xbox One S doesn't support AVI files. So I have do some reseach to solve this problem, here I will share my experience to let you play AVI on
Xbox One S without hassle.

From the video formats lists supported by Xbox One S are MKV, DivX and Xvid. It claimed that Xbox One S support AVI format although, the point I found here is, only a part of AVI, unfortunately, is supported due to different codes. For example, AVI in Divx/Xvid
can be played on Xbox while problems occur when playing AVI in other code like VP-6 and etc. So, I need change the video codec to Xbox supported formats by using a video converter. Though comparing a few online finally I choose Pavtube Video Converter and
haven't been disapointed. Things would be much easier and simpler by adopt Pavtube Video Converter - Which is the best video converter for Xbox One S to easily convert almost any AVI video to Xbox One S just in a few clicks. Apart from converting AVI to Xbox
One S, I can also convert almost any video, like RMVB, AVI, MOV, to videos supported by Xbox One S. The most I like It can convert video at 30X faster speed, and keep the original video quality.

 

Xbox One FAILS at 4k Rendering

Thats because the xbox one doesnt support 4k video playback. The xbox one s will though

I might be mistaken, but your link does not seem to be the answer to my question. I am not asking if it supports 4k and HDR, but what file types it support and more importantly if it supports 4k
10bit
X265 HEVC formats (as well as 1080p x265 HEVC 10bit). If it doesn't support this new format, it's pretty useless as a future proof (4k) media player.

 

What kind of file is that derived from? I've got the same TV (KS8000) and everything I'm throwing at it works nicely, no stutters etc. (UHD BR discs, 1080p media via PLEX streaming etc.)

 

All formats play perfectly via the KS8000 default player, except any of my 4k x265 HEVC 10bit test files I downloaded. Of course I can imagine its the most advance format there is, but as its a 4k TV which supports 10bit, I would love to be able to play
the format

 

No feedback in regards if the device will fully support 4k HEVC 10bit?

Is Microsoft not looking at the customer forums to answer these questions? It's an opportunity to sell

 

quick Google search shows that the Xbox One S does NOT support HEVC. best solution is to convert them.
