Lee2010 8 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 As part of the Developer Preview for Xbox One I now have the Media Player App that can browse DLNA on my network! Below is a video of me testing it out. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Very cool! I'd still prefer the/a real xbox one app for MB But this is a good intermediary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 38116 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 This is fantastic. I'd like to really hammer this out so please suggest areas for improvement. For instance i can already see i'd like some of those default images to instead by dynamic based on content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 38116 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 another thing i've been thinking of with dlna is turning movies into a folder so that you can go in and select play movie, play trailer, play extras, etc. although that's not Xbox-one specific but i think it would look nice here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of hard to pick up where I left off if I can't find the episode number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swhitmore 781 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Missed this one. I'll post about it now on Reddit. Edited September 24, 2014 by swhitmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 38116 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thanks. His video is actually quite attractive, and there are still some tricks we can do to make it seem like a legitimate app and not just a generic dlna interface. obviously our dedicated app will be the end game, but this is pretty nice in the meantime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swhitmore 781 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I don't really use the Xbox One forums. I think it's mostly for bug reporting. I'll have a look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper11 63 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 This is an awesome development. I'll spread it around as many Xbox One areas as I can. I'm still eagerly awaiting a native app, but this is great substitute until then. I may have to switch over to this method instead of using IE tiles to the MBS web client. I love that voice control works throughout the experience, which already puts it ahead of my current method. As long as it supports my video file formats as well as in that video, that would seal the deal for me. One big question is, can it handle dual audio/subtitles? For me, that is a must. Maybe someone can answer that for me. Also, how well does that method support a remote control (I have a harmony remote) I wish I was in the preview program to try out the dlna support myself.

scanner50 8 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 FYI looks like Plex is about to release a native Xbox One app: http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/6/6918079/plex-launches-on-xbox Makes me wish a native MB app was coming! And what is it with tech media always talking up Plex but you never hear of anyone mention MB, even in the forums of these articles? That's sad, I think MB is far superior.

Wow, that is some seriously good publicity. Congrats to them. It will be interesting to see how it performs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
