The original date was March 4th but since the February patch had a firm date then slid a couple days past it just assume it'll be sometime later this week
For Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 so far. However, everytime I click on Friends on either my phone or PC, the Smartglass app crashes. Just tried it on the older iPad version and it works just fine
I love this update
you finally got it?
Cool, i love this update. They are in the right track, but none of my regular party friends got it...so im alone Lol.

I enjoy finally getting control over my surround sound again. I remember setting up Kinect's audio and heard full surround in my 5.1 setup. I don't know where it was removed, but it's good to see 5.1 via HDMI again.
Thank you based update.
Thank you based update.
it has reduced the frequency but I did get one this weekend
Came out 3/4 days later right? So March 4th - 7th I imagine.

Did you get the MS headset or are you just using the adapter with another headset?
Major is going to do a live stream tonight at 11pm est about Twitch Streaming.

Just checked my messages and realised I had an invite in my inbox from two weeks ago.. hah.
One thing I just thought of that I think would be a great addition is Friend nicknaming/tagging.
After adding a few people from GAF I realised that whilst I know where they added me from, I might forget. And there are always those few friends on your list from a year or so back that pop up or you invite them and forget how you know them. This is the internet after all, you make new friends, sometimes you drift apart, such is the world. It'd be great if you could remind yourself who is who (especially when Gamertag's are often so obscure) with a custom tag. Similar to how Steam lets you nickname people completely, only maybe not so extreme.
So you could tag anyone from GAF with 'NeoGAF' or someone from Reddit or wherever, and it'd show up next to their GT. Or if you got chatting with someone whilst shootin' it up on CoD and added them, you could tag them as CoD Ghosts, and in a year you'll remember that you became buddies through CoD. Of course your real life and close friends you don't necessarily need to tag because you aren't likely to forget them but even so you could use it and tag them with their nicknames if you so choose.
Just my suggestion. I don't know if there is an actual place to submit ideas to Microsoft but please enlighten me if you know. I wondered whether or not to make a thread about the idea but it isn't really worth it so here seemed the most logical place to post it.

Any improvements to media streaming ? i.e playing off a usb or stream from a pc (not play to)
At some point we were supposed to be able to display our real names to certain people. It got pushed to a later date due to time constraints but something like "nicknaming" should be added with that.

Thanks for the schooling.... Didn't know. I'm "newer" to the 8.1 side of things.

This guy is broadcasting off the Xbox Twitch app for anyone interested http://www.twitch.tv/alternagod1
Added to the OP. Thanks for catching that.
Hmm...maybe. Someone might have to test this out.
As per Podcast Unlocked, all negative things related to Xbox will now be blamed on Stephen Elop.

Adapter with Astro A50's but after more testing the voice chat on my end is perfect when in the "Dashboard" but it's a little distorted when playing a games...trying to figure out what the problem is.

Quality is pretty good, which is good news. I've been disappointed in the quality of streams from the PS4, so good to hear that it looks like Twitch made sure that wasn't an issue with the X1 (possibly due to Twitch developing the app themselves compared to Sony developing it for the PS4).
One of the Xbox guys (I think it was Albert) replied to a tweet a while ago about HBO GO saying that they will publish the app once HBO finishes development and submits it to them.
Major Nelson is running some Twitch streaming right now

Yeah, That's what I'm noticing. I'm just watching for the game mostly now.
Also LOL @ people asking non Twitch related questions as if he will answer any.

Yeah hopefully they add Smartglass integration is added for chat in the future.
Few things I've noticed Major has shared (not sure if they are new):
-Twitch will run a test and recommend quality to stream, but I think he said you still have manual control over the quality if you'd like.
-You can choose any of the four corners to show Kinect video of yourself
-You get toast notifications showing the number of people watching the stream
Along with you can't broadcast any of the home screen, it goes to the placeholder screen which looks awesome and mutes voice.
Kinect commands still work.
You can use either a headset or kinect for your voice and you can adjust audio through a mixer in the app.
Toasts aren't shown to viewers it would appear.
