The new player will support playback of both files from USB and local networks via DLNA. Most awesomely, it will support a boatload of codecs—including DivX, Xvids, MKVs, and even animated GIFs (really? dunno that I need that one by Xvbid and MKV is certainly welcome!).
About Paul Spoerry
I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.
I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.
I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

I think I'd be game for a Plex app on Xbox, though. I don't know why… I use the Chromecast for all that stuff now anyway.
Either the latest Chromecast update or the last XB update has made it so I can't stream music or YouTube vids to the Chromecast plugged into the back of my XBOne. It sucks. Still works for movies and whatnot though. BTW, someone IS porting Plex to the Xbox One; saw it on the Plex forums not to long ago.
Can we listen to music in background without snap mode? Please tell me they fit than option in
