Xbone News: More social features, New ways to watch TV, and USB & DLNA support

New “Friends” section – the new Friends section has been available for a few early access Preview members and we’re expanding it to everyone enrolled in the Preview program. The new Friends section enables users to see at a glance what’s going on with their friends. They can stay up-to-date with their current activities, the most popular games their friends are playing, and a Gamerscore leaderboard to see who has improved their Gamerscore over the last 30 days.
Snap Center – Some of gamers’ favorite features in the Xbox 360 guide, are coming to Xbox One in a way that’s now truly be side-by-side with games. Messages, friends, parties, and achievements will all be available in the new Snap Center, providing a seamless way to switch back and forth without having to leave a game.
Threaded Messages – keeping gamers in their games while they multitask has been a huge focus. The new Messages app features threaded messages with the full conversation history – including embedded links to Game DVR clips – that can be viewed without interrupting gameplay.
Media Player – a new app will be available soon that enables users to play media files from either an attached USB device or from a network connected home media server that supports DLNA protocols. The preview version of the Media Player app will initially only support USB devices, with DLNA support coming soon. Xbox One will support more formats than Xbox 360, including support for dozens of new file formats like mpeg 2 TS, animated gifs and mkv which will be added by the end of the year. See below for additional file formats.
Xbox One Digital TV Tuner –announced last week, this new accessory will enter a limited preview program in Europe (UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain), in advance of its retail launch beginning in October.
Stream TV to SmartGlass – launching first in markets receiving the Xbox Digital TV Tuner, Xbox One owners will be able to stream their TV across their home network to their smartphones and tablets using the Xbox SmartGlass app. They can also pause, play and rewind as well as change channels, without interrupting gameplay on the Xbox One. This will work for SmartGlass apps on Windows, iOS, and Android.
Boot to TV – Now Xbox One owners will be able to set their console to boot directly to television when coming out of connected standby.
Live TV mini guide – for markets where OneGuide is available, a new mini guide on the bottom of the screen will display details about the TV content that is currently playing. Users can quickly change channels and see what’s on other channels, while still watching TV.
Country Expansion – we’re doing a lot of work on the backend to prepare for Xbox One to launch in 29 new markets
in the coming weeks.

i hear in the next update, you will be able to procreate with it, and slowly build an army of Xbones to take over the world.

Long overdue, UH has been doing that with his PS4 for months.

Yeah I'm not seeing much about "games" from either of them.

There is a press conference going on as I type this about games
Sony's is in a few hours.

Thats nothing new for Sony, they have been doing that in China for years. Truthfully the PS4 was the one good by-product to come from inbreeding the orginal PS with the PS3.

Dont get me wrong its neat stuff, but these are all features that should have been installed day one. Its nothing revolutionary and I get the impressions that's what they are trying to make it seem like.

They would love it too but these things take time and they have to get the systems launched.

They release a list like this once a month or so.

I guess I don't keep up with this enough. The frustration is getting to me.
Posted on 8/12/14 at 9:23 am to RTR America
God I miss the Xbox 360 guide. I miss sending messages and invites quickly mid game.

I'm excited about being able to play mkv files. Pretty much all torrents are mkv now. Its pretty annoying hooking up my laptop to the TV.
Posted on 8/12/14 at 11:48 am to LewDawg
Yes I'm most excited about that.

Neither console could possibly have made their launch windows if they tried to include very idea.
