Movies and TV app for Windows 10 updated with ability to play video folders
\
\
\
\
\
The Movies & TV app may not have been Microsoft’s primary multimedia app, as Groove Music usually steals the spotlight, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad, unsupported or by any other means in a worse condition than Groove Music.
\
The app just scored an update enabling the ability to play videos organised in folders, like a season of a show or anime or maybe multiple parts of a movie. The player now features forward and back buttons so there is no need of exiting and manually opening the videos one after one.
\
The update also happens to improve the Xbox experience by adding a small, but significant change of opening the search panel by pressing the “Y” button on the game controller.
\
It’s now easier to re-rent movies too, if ever there’s that one movie or TV show that is just dying to be watched again.
\
The update, for once, came with a changelog, which you can see below:
\
- \
- On desktop and phone, when you start a video in folders view, Previous and Next now skip to other videos in that folder
- When rentals expire, it’s easier to rent them again
- Buy while you binge: You can pay for each next TV episode just before it plays
- On Xbox One, press Y to search
- Minor fixes and improvements throughout the app

Thanks to Zack for the tip!
