Major Nelson Previews Septembers Xbox One System Update, Media Player Improvements
Announced earlier this week at Gamescom, Xbox One's September system update will bring some notable changes to its media player, along with some new social features. Today, Xbox Live's Larry Hryb, aka Major Nelson, demonstrated and detailed some of those changes in action.
The media player update allows you to play files on Xbox One from either USB or streamed through another device via DLNA. Hryb and Xbox product team member Albert Penello walk viewers through opening music and movie files on Xbox One over a DLNA connection, and also discuss some of the new files formats supported with the new update.
Though the update is available to preview members today, it only runs files through USB for now, with DLNA to follow. For more on Xbox at Gamescom, check out our Microsoft press conference recap.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
