With all the playback challenges and transcoding issues we see with the current beta, I’m curious why you don’t use the same mpv player framework that Plex Media Player is using with the Win10 UWP app? Seems like it would be a better solution?
I agree the end result would have less issues. We’re already investigating a change in the video player stack, but as you can imagine, it is not something that is done lightly. It takes a lot of resources. In regards to mpv, it seems to depend on a lot of things which are not natively available on the UWP sandbox.
I’m using the UWP app on my surface and i think the UI is really beautiful! So props for that!! 
So looking forward to the same UWP experience on W10 mobile…
It is transcoding a lot though, but not as much as the Xbox one.
I would really think it would be a good idea for you to release the UWP app for Xbox one too, as the transcoding is Down to a minimum. The Xbox one app transcodes the video all the time, whereas the UWP app only transcodes my DTS audio streams…
