nagetech 69 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 If you go to the network settings on your Xbox it will show there is a problem with the purchase and content system. Affecting some users but not others. It’s not emby, it’s microsoft. Just hang tight 1
Sarithz 2 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 That’s why I still keep my AppleTV and Roku around, lol. Backup to a backup to a backup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
nagetech 69 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I wish I had kept my spare roku. Hell I’d kill for a chrome cast right now lol
davedick 19 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 wouldn't the edge browser on the XB1 work as a temporary replacement?
Scott310 137 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Ember for emby is my working replacement right now. It's also available in the app store. 1

schmitty 66 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 After trying different troubleshooting methods, I finally and stupidly decided to try removing then installing again... I stuffed myself up. I have to resort to DLNA playback via Media Player.
AndyBak 17 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 #metoo Failing on my XB1X and my daughters XB1S. Other apps/games seem to be updating, installing without issue. 1
VolackPonCoalPonVolack 0 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Ember is working ok for me. I’m doing the trial and it seems like a pretty well laid out app that seems to be worth 4.99. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Yeah don't get me wrong. I prefer to use the official Emby Theater app. There are a lot more options and functionality there but if for some reason there is an issue preventing Emby Theater from working it's nice to have a backup if you just want to watch a movie.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro It definitely is a good software. This issue is a strange one and I have not encountered it before but unless it continues over an extended period, I am not going to be overly concerned. I do have lifetime licenses of both Plex and Emby. I prefer to use Emby on my Xbox 1 as the Emby UI is a lot friendlier on the Xbox as opposed to the Plex. I am still using Plex on my Roku and can still choose to do that on the Xbox if push comes to shove.
nagetech 69 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status Just in case anyone wants a quick shortcut to where it tells you about Xbox live status. Just have to wait for the "Purchase & Content Usage" problem to get resolved so we can go back to emby. It is amazing that this is the second xbox live outage that has happened in what, 2 weeks?, that has killed my ability to use the xbox/emby for my nightly rituals. I'm starting to think using the xbox one as my "media hub" is a bad idea and should consider going back to the Roku, or even giving the Apple TV a shot. 1

I'm starting to think using the xbox one as my "media hub" is a bad idea and should consider going back to the Roku, or even giving the Apple TV a shot. I do agree. I am still a loyalist though because it is nice to have gaming for myself and my kids, live tv, and emby in one device. A lot of issues can be attributed to Microsoft. I keep my skin in the game cause I keep hoping that I can finally have all of these things working together harmoniously on one box. Fingers crossed. 2
nagetech 69 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 @@Scott310 I agree, I love the idea of it as well, but damn, its ridiculous how much the xbox one gets crippled when something @ M$oft takes a crap. Like when xbox live core services went down, I couldn't even sign into my live account just to watch emby. @@Luke was made aware of this and I think in a different post he was going to look into the emby app not needing to actually sign on to live to make use of it. I guess I just want things to work without worrying about a cloud service crapping out and killing my ability to watch my LOCAL media.
Luke 42077 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 We opened a support ticket with MS yesterday so we are just waiting to hear back at this point. Thanks. 2
nagetech 69 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Thanks Luke for staying in contact with us. I am sure you got overrun with people asking for help assuming this issue was with the app. I can’t help but laugh at myself as I have the Xbox live status webpage open on my cell phone every once in a while I’ll switch to the browser refresh the page to see if the outages over I almost feel pathetic for being just lost without my Emby in my living room.
Luke 42077 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 We got a follow up message just to say they are still looking into it. Thanks guys.
Rohanaj 15 Posted August 31, 2018 Author Posted August 31, 2018 Thanks for following up with Microsoft, Luke, we appreciate it.
nagetech 69 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 3 days and counting.... I wonder how many guys over @ M$oft got their asses handed to them for this goof up.

nagetech 69 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 I would imagine with the store having issues, that has to hurt their $$$ bottom line, which I'm sure they care A LOT about. Anyone want to venture a guess as to what you guys think went wrong? 1

Has the store had this problem for over 2 months?
nagetech 69 Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 I did notice that date discrepancy as well on the website I just assumed somebody fat fingered the date because I cannot imagine this having been going on for two months.
davedick 19 Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Not sure if it's a fluke, but Emby updated on one XB1 and fully installed on the other. I canceled the auto install after turning the XB on sand told it try again and it worked

I would have thought the date/time stamp would have been auto-generated, like it is when you post anywhere else.
