So, I want to use Xbox music to listen to my current music I own. But I can't upload music unless I have a Windows 8 PC.
That is pretty fucking shitty of Microsoft.
I guess will try streaming from google play on IE
Edit: Nope, songs restart after reaching some point

Looks like my Xbone just bit the dust. Used it last night to watch some TV and got up this morning and it won't turn on via Kinect. Holding my finger over the xbox log on the console will cause the system to beep, light will come on and then shut off after a second or two.
Power brick light goes from white to orange in that span. Anything special about Day 1's besides the controller? Figuring I can take it back to Best Buy but my chances of getting a Day 1 are slim to none.
EDIT - Anyone know if I go through Microsoft for a replacement if I will get a new Xbox One or are they already shipping out refurbished units?

"Xbox Bing", "Demos" is the easiest way.
Damn, that's a sweet gift to give someone!
I ordered mine (complete bundle) thru the MS store online last Friday and I got it on Wednesday (via standard shipping)! I was live chatting and mentioned to the CS rep how nice it'd be *wink-wink* to get my system before Thanksgiving. He said just keep thinking positive, which I did and when they sent me the tracking number on Monda, I was pleasantly surprised with the est. delivery date.
Pandora.com streaming works. Not sure about other services.

Yea, I am trying HTML5 streaming on google play to see if it works better. Edit: Nope, song restarts after reaching some point. No idea why
I am getting a Dell Venue tablet next week, will see if I can use that to sync up music.
I wish, considering Xbox's use as an all in one media system, it would just find the music on my PC and play it.

You should be able to do DLNA streaming from anything on the same wifi network (I tried it from my phone but haven't played with it too much).
The biggest issue for me is the inability to stream in the background- just snapped.
I also wish I could use my Music Unlimited sub from sony, but their web version requires flash- not surprising since everything about that service is sort of ghetto (aside from the PS+ pricing).

XBO owners, is the system currently ready to support full TV integration with a real time channel guide?
I know that from what I've read, it says that a TV tuner is necessary, but I have yet to see any SKU's for it...
Looking to integrate my FiOS box with the system and test out TV functionality (and yes, I have the FioS app, but I am looking for ALL channels)

Yes - if you have a FiOS box, you're good. That's your tuner.

The issue I have with current DLNA is I have to individually use "Play To" on each song file to play it on the Xbox. Unless I am missing on how to do this (figured this out, I can use Play To on a folder).
Also, looks like it will only play the song if it is able to get Media information from it's Media server. Which is a big issue when I have a lot of Indian music
, going through full playlist, let's see how many songs it can play.I do know streaming works fine on PC, so definitely something with Xbox IE causing issues with google play

My biggest issue with voice right now is "Xbox on" and "Xbox power off"...anyone get these to work consistently? Volume up/down, mute, go home work perfectly...
xbox on doesn't work great for me. it's "xbox turn off" so that might be your problem. I have no issue with that command

I have no problem with "Xbox on" and "off" anymore but "record that" is completely fucked for me. Kinda ruins having a cool moment and then having to say it 5 times. Everything else works fine.
Sounds weird but för some reason Xbox on works 100% when I put on a fake American accent. (I'm born and raised in London. )
Xbox turn off works perfectly regardless of accent. Try it
Xbox on and turn off work great for me. Some people say it might help that you look towards your Xbox when trying to turn it on
Record that is hit or miss it seems. Might have to recalibrate TV with the volume higher

I recalibrated at high volume (50 was too high for Kinect, 45 worked, normal volume is at 20), record that is still hit and miss.

Yes. It's very reliable online. Flawless even. I would recommend it.

Love signing in with Kinect and love using voice commands, but There really needs to be a way to turn off motion control when watching television or movies. I keep reaching for my drink and accidentally skipping chapters or rewinding what I'm watching.
It's that what it is? When we watch Hulu or Amazon itsometimes stutters and then starts skipping chapters.
I've been playing killer instinct offline for the past week as I was waiting to get Internet installed at my new apartment and upon getting online I had a 3GB update for the game. Is that normal? Why on earth would an update be the same size as the game itself?
Also is there a way to upload a clip for just one person to see instead of your entire friends list/xbox live being able to see it?

I'd love to be able to turn off all Kinect motion control. Voice is awesome. Motion is not.
Xbox Turn off works 100% of the time, but Xbox On is hit/miss for me.
Only Xbox employees get them. Look at Major Nelson's gamercard to see all of them.

It's just the game. Happens to everyone.

Agreed.
That's sad to hear. The console in the day one edition is the same as the standard SKU. You won't miss anything by getting a green box outside of the controller.
Nope.

Has anyone else ordered one of the bundles from Microsoft Store this weekend? If so how long did it take to get your confirmation email?
Edit: Just got it,took like 30 min.

Can you delete games from your achievement list like you can on 360? I can't seem to find it anywhere?
Hm... Does the warmth depend on the voltage of the country you live in?

Better safe than sorry man. They put a fan on anything that makes heat for this xbox.
check your hdmi cable
I was doing the same thing as you. I found out the above and it works every time.
So far voice commands are working really well for me. I get an occasional instance where I have to say things twice but not often at all.
Yeah sure. I get the reason.
NeoGAF disclaimer: This thread in not an endorsement to take apart you Xbox One PSU unit. NeoGAF cannot be held responsible for any damage incurred in doing so. Please refer to Microsoft for the terms of your warranty.
The warranty of the Xbox and the Kinect are separate and not voided of course. It will not damage the box or anything. The worst that could happen is that the PSU gets too hot and shuts down before it takes any damage. But yeah I'm not saying that you should do it or whatever, just that it is an option if you wanna go down that road.
So just loaded up madden, and realized my ultimate team didn't carry over? And googling says that I need to put the cards up for auction or some shit on LAST GEN, to be able to get them on this gen? How fucking stupid. FIFA's worked as soon as I loaded up the game.
Figures I already traded the madden to trade up to this gen, wow.

Thanks, they need to make the demos findable, without using Kinect.
