    External HDD after Xbox Partition

    I have been using an external HDD to store movies/tv shows, etc. and they have always played fine on the xbox.

    Ever since I partitioned a portion of the hard drive for xbox memory/storage (for GTA), any new movie that I transfer to the HDD will not play on the xbox, and if I plug the HDD into my cpu, and click the video file, it won't play (basically like it is an
    incomplete file).

    Any video file that was on the HDD, before I partitioned a portion for the xbox, will still play without any problems.

    Any ideas why any new file transferred, won't work?

    The xbox plays everything. Its a excellent viewing device.
    All I am saying is do not BUY your movies from XBOX VIDEO
    since you limit where the movies you own can be seen.

    PLEASE BRING BACK MOVIE TRAILER SECTION IN XBOX VIDEO FOR UPCOMING THEATER MOVIES

    Really loved the trailers also! Guess I just won't rent movies through Xbox video until they are back.

    XBox Video Movies on IPad

    Let me explain, I bought 5 movies on Xbox. The only way I can watch them is on a Xbox or PC. When you buy movies from Amazon or VUDU you can watch them on XBox, PC's, Ipads, Iphones, Roku, literally anything. Amazon movies are universal. So all I am
    saying is why buy movies from Xbox video when you can optimize your viewing choices buy buying the same movies on a Amazon or VUDU. The xbox plays everything. Its a excellent viewing device. All I am saying is do not BUY your movies from XBOX VIDEO since
    you limit where the movies you own can be seen.

    Purchased Video on Surface, want to play it on XBox Console

    Hello,

    On your Xbox make sure you are signed in the same account as on your Surface. Go to "tv & movies" and go into Xbox Video. From there go to "My Videos" and "My Movies", Is your video there?

    Remember rented videos will only play on the device they were bought on, only "Purchases" are available on all xboxs/devices.

    From your Surface, play the video, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap "Play on Xbox 360" this will send the video to play on your Xbox 360 but you must have purchased the movie, not rented it.

    Hope this Helps,

    Thanks :)

    Media Player problem (Xbox One) - Error "Try a different folder"..."It took a long time to gather all your media for playback." "Please try a different folder."

    I am having the same issue as well. I have my Xbox pointed to my video library to stream videos. It can definitely play the movies, however the error message pops up and my movie continues to play in the background.
