Xbox One USB Video Playback

PostXbox One USB Video Playback by **Marvin** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 3:03 pm

Was shocked and disappointed to find out the XB1 doesn't carry this feature which I used a lot on the 360. Does anybody know why Microsoft doesn't include this handy feature anymore? And is there any chance it's coming back via an update?

Yup coming in one of the upcoming updates;

New media player support -- A new app will allow you to play media files from an attached USB device or from a home media server that supports DLNA. The preview version of the update will only work with USB devices, but DLNA support is coming soon. Once this update is applied, the Xbox One will support more media formats than Xbox 360, Microsoft says. You can see a full list of supported file formats below.

X1 has been updated once a month since launch, its a big change and hard to get used to things constantly evolving but also a good thing.

I thought that was part of the preview and wasn't out until next month on all consoles?
