    Xbox Pause No Longer Works


    Using the voice command "Xbox Pause" stopped working recently. It used to pause live TV, Netflix, Streaming Video, etc. and now it pauses nothing. I even tried pausing while watching a video on Xbox Movies and TV or whatever the app is called and that didn't
    work either. It says "Cannot Pause Right Now" or something to that effect whenever I try.

    :)

    Play/Pause voice commands no longer work for Live tV

    I used to be able to say 'xbox pause' and 'xbox play' to play/pause live TV - it would send the tivo remote code which play/pauses the TV. It was great!

    This no longer functions - the xbox just says 'Can't Play from here'

    Am i crazy, or was this removed in a firmware update? Could this functionality be returned? "volume up" and "volume down" still works.

    thanks

    Oddly, they started working again on their own.. weird. A stealth update?

    I am having the same issue. Most commands work. Play and pause do not.

    Please watch

    How hard is it for reviewers to work out you need a slightly longer pause after the xbox command before the follow up command !!!

    Pause button not working on any remote in Netflix app

    I have a nyko media remote with a pause/play button for Xbox one. A few weeks ago the pause stopped working in Netflix but works fine in plex. I can pause with the Xbox controller with no issues. Currently we have to stop and then resume the video.
