I can no longer say “xbox pause” to pause what I’m watching. Was this intentional or will this be fixed?
I actually just found out that I can say “xbox play” to send a pause command. Seems wrong
The problem seems to be related to the Xbox remote (IR) support as well. On the remote I cannot press the PAUSE button anymore, I have to press the PLAY button to play and to pause.

Which remote are you using? It seems they developed the app to respond to a toggle button, but not for universal remotes with separate play and pause. That wasn’t always the case so don’t know why they changed it.
I am using an Inteset universal remote.

Ok, same situation as me then. I’ve got a Harmony universal, but same separate buttons as you. We’ve mentioned to @Moussa in other threads that there needs to be configuration for both a toggle button and separate buttons. Hopefully they’ll add the functionality for separate play and pause buttons back in.
I would be happy if they just mapped the PAUSE button to the PAUSE action. The PLAY button can remain dual function if its easier.
I think us Xbox One w/ Kinect users have to start (sadly) weening off the Kinect sensor.
MS stopped making it, system-wide support has gone ages ago. it’s only a matter of time until it become a glorified Skype camera, I’m sad to say.
Loved being able to navigate plex with my hands. 
Wow, this is the first I"m hearing that they’ve completely stopped support for the Kinect. What ridiculous timing. They had a giant leap in the voice control market over Amazon and Google and they squandered it.

Well it isn’t gone. If you read my post above, xbox play still works. I think it’s because they removed the pause button and play is now a toggle.

Yep, MS really did have the chance to own this market with good software. They could have easily done a whole lot more than you can with an Alexa/Echo for example since you have both audio and video and most of the time better audio as well. The MIC/Sensors in it were really good as well, not to mention how good the camera was.

Confirmed when I say “Xbox Pause” the systems says “Can’t Pause from here”
When I say “Xbox Play” it pauses.
Then when I say “Xbox Play” again, it plays.
This seems like a accidental mapping bug.
Additionally, now I can only rewind 10 seconds at a time with plex on Xbox One. Why is that? The last build worked way better than this.
The pause button/command issue should be fixed in the latest update.
