Kini Xbox One Bisa Kita Abaikan dan Langsung Masuk ke Menu Televisi Saja!

Seperti yang pernah kami tuliskan sebelumnya, Microsoft bakal membuat konsol mereka, Xbox One makin pas menjadi pusat hiburan dengan rencana fitur baru yang diberikan melalui update terbarunya, yang sudah mengudara sejak akhir Agustus 2014 lalu. Apa saja fitur yang ditambahkan dalam update September tersebut?

Update tersebut diberikan beberapa hari lebih awal dari yang direncanakan. Dan di sana, kalian mendapatkan aplikasi media player baru dari Microsoft, yang bisa memutar langsung file dari USB storage dan mendukung format seperti MKV, animated GIF dan juga opsi sharing melalui perangkat WiFi ber-DLNA akan ditambahkan lagi akhir tahun ini. Kemudian update sistem tersebut juga menambahkan fitur aplikasi party baru yang mempermudahmu dalam mengatur siapa saja yang bisa berinteraksi denganmu atau teman dalam party selama sebuah sesi permainan, dan juga opsi kontrol melalui SmartGlass, booting langsung ke televisi dan lebih banyak lagi yang lainnya.

Microsoft memang sejak awal bertujuan membuat konsol mereka memiliki banyak cara agar kita bisa menikmati file-file multimedia koleksi, sekaligus juga menambah opsi untuk berinteraksi dengan Xbox One melalui fitur sosial Xbox SmartGlass. Kemudian fungsi Boot to TV memungkinkan mereka yang memang menggunakan konsol Microsoft ini sebagai sarana untuk menikmati hiburan digital, bisa dengan mudah langsung boot ke televisi ketika datang dari keadaan standby. Daftar lengkap fitur sistem baru yang diinjeksikan Microsoft untuk pengguna Xbox One melalui update kali ini bisa kalian lihat di bawah:

• A new Media Player app: Play media files from an attached USB device with the new media player app – DNLA support for home media servers 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.
• Party on in the new and improved Party App: Be the leader of your party with the new party leader setting. As the party leader, you can change whether the party requires invitations and you can remove others from the party. The updated app also lets you see what activities everyone in your party is doing and who is playing in the same game with you in addition to being able to quickly perform common actions like muting, joining, or sending game invites.
• New features for SmartGlass: You can now post status messages from the Activity Feed and comments, or share items from both your Activity Feed and Game Clips. Along with the new comment and share features, a personalized Activity Feed has been added to your profile and messages have been updated to a new layout supporting a full conversation view. Additionally, we are adding the ability to record game clips directly from the Now Playing bar. Finally, for users who upgrade the app directly, we have introduced a What’s New page highlighting the features of each release.
