Mine never signs me in in under 10 seconds, I've done more calibrations that Garrus Vakarian. 

 

I didn't even realise it didn't auto sign me in! I never realised it was the Kinect signing me in because the first thing i always saw was the "Hi Mike!" screen and just assumed it was because i was the XBL gold member in the household.

 

I must have a much more pleasant face than you McKay ;)

Have you tried to plug that into a pc and see if you can access parts of it? I'm mainly wondering about the option of loading your own media on it. I know there are currently no apps that support local media playback, but it could come if external drives can be used in that way.

Unviewable on a PC. I haven't tried it on my mac or linux box though.

it wipes the entire drive.

Have a look at my tutorial on How to copy files to and from an Xbox One USB Formatted hard drive using a Windows PC

 

The drive is basically NTFS formatted, however the MBR is changed so Windows cant access the drive by default. An app has already been released that basically put the drive in a state where Windows can read it, then changes the MBR back to a state so the Xbox One can read it again.

 

In doing so you can copy Xbox One apps / games / demos to your PC, just like with the Xbox 360. I could not get the Xbox One to read any audio / video files off the drive however.

I can understand the confusion, but I'm pretty sure my Xbox gets too distracted admiring my ruggedly good looks to sign me in. ;)

Does this mean to can make copies of downloaded games and share them with our friends? o.O

Yes, however your friends still need a profile signed in which has a licence to play the game, or the game disc to be in the console. So this will not allow piracy on the Xbox One.

DRM free content such as game demos might be able to be shared however, just as they can be on the Xbox 360.

Have you tried this? http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/xbox-one/accessories/headsets/stereo-headset-adapter

 

I used it with my Turtle Beach X31s I had with my 360 and works great.  Only minor problem I had was getting games sound from both the controller and tv.  I used the buttons on the device to balance all sound to voice chat and now I have separate volume levels for chat and games sounds as the headset also had it's won volume controls.

 

Thanks a lot dude, didn't realize they sold this separately. Kind of a cheeky way to make more money, but i think will have no choice but to order this soon as my ears hurt. So this will route all audio through the controller? Or only chat? Maybe i'm thick and didn't get it. Either way, i could just use an in-ear headset with this adapter, and then my big headphones over that. It will hurt less than the current setup :wacko:

It routes all audio, however with the game vs chat balance buttons you can make it only give you one.  As mentioned I had to do this so it only gave chat as I was already getting game sounds from the tv / wireless receiver for the headset.

The June update has started rolling out, you can do a manual check to get it now or just wait for your XB1 to download it on it's own in the BG. 

 

Cheers for the heads up. A bit earlier than i expected but i guess they need to get all the TV stuff to the UK asap to capitalise on the World Cup properly.

 

*p.s. i will be spending the duration of the world cup avoiding pubs and just generally enjoying the fact that the streets will be nice and quiet.

Just thought I'd drop this here as well.  This was tweeted not that long ago.

Make of that what you will, but I do remember talk about them freeing up more of that 10% reserve for developers, sounds like they did/started to.

I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to optimize the Kinect code and make it work better while also reducing the resources it needed, thus the rest of the June SDK update news.

Whatever they did, it is working much much better. I dont have to repeat myself nearly as often, I can talk in a normal volume voice. I like the voice command feature so big applause for MS on this one. Hope it doesnt change.

I'm a DISH customer, and I always use the TV app to watch TV and guide.  Would I get any benefit out of the Oneguide on Xbox One?  Does anyone use Dish or DirectTV, and use the oneguide instead?  What are your thoughts?

You can use OneGuide...  your Xbox will setup your TV and the rest .... all you do is follow the instructions on the screen.

Thanks but really didn't answer the question(s).  I know I CAN use it, but what is the advantage? Disadvantage is I can't access my dvr.

Oh.. I am sorry..

 

It's great. But not sure about dish services...

 

I can access DVR on my cable box via smartglass. 

 

You can't access DVR via OneGuide.. because OneGuide is a TV listings...  OneGuide can change the channels for you as soon as you select a show on the grid. then hit the play.

 

If you want to access DVR, try smartglass app on any device such as ipad, PC, etc.

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      In the boot options in the UEFI is set to legacy or CMS? It needs to be set to UEFI if it's not already.
