News Update for Xbox Users

[softworkz 5066]

Good news for all Xbox users: The big issues are fixed in the next update, which is in store certification already.
Unfortunately it can still be rejected or take multiple days - fingers crossed that it will arrive just in time to make holidays really happy for all Xbox users.

Stuttering/Shaking Playback on Xbox One Models

This has been fixed and confirmed in a beta version and the fix is included in the new stable version currently waiting for store review.

The new version has a Video Options section now:

 

• For all Xbox One models, the setting needs to be "Force System Decoder"
   
• For all newer models, it should be "Automatic"

These values are automatically set as defaults, depending on the model.

I'm really appreciating your work on this. At this point, when I get my Nextpvr feed through the updated Emby, and it is not stuttering, the picture is the best I have seen yet. Way better than the Kodi one with the Nextpvr add-on.

The new version is in the store now:

"For all Xbox One models, the setting needs to be "Force System Decoder"
 
For all newver models, it should be "Automatic""

 

I'm a bit confused by this. What is newer than XBox One? In the case of say XBoX One X, what should the setting be?

Thanks

Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X - this is the latest range of models.

The Series X model is different from "Xbox One X". That naming confusion actually played a role in why the Xbox One ** issue wasn't identified earlier.

Yeah that IS confusing.
