"Xbox App settings file corrupted or Microsoft modified the structure. Please check for new version of the script."

Zo0m1 commented 3 years ago

I haven't done anything since the last time I used this, I reinstalled it and everything, but I keep getting this error and I can't find any new version. I saw another resolved issue like this but I didn't understand what the OP did to fix it. I don't think this is an issue on my end because someone else has had it recently? I last used this thing like a month ago if that helps. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I wanna fix it no matter what.

kaczorws commented 3 years ago

It is currently not working for me either. Microsoft must have changed something either in the config file or the app itself. I'm working on a fix but not sure when it will be available.

Zo0m1 commented 3 years ago

okay ty, also my resolution randomly changes after I run it and it gives me this error and my amd radeon software gets messed up and I have to reinstall my graphics drivers, Idk if this is a coincidence or related just very weird and I wanted to point it out because if it is related its really annoying :(

iamtheezac commented 3 years ago

waiting on that fix, hope you figure out! I love this script :)

DoNotArgueToxicGames commented 3 years ago

As for the file not found. For the time being (as none of the switches worked for me at the moment) the directory can be found at C:\Users**YourUserName**\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxApp(randomletters and numbers)\LocalState (mine was \AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxApp8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState )

just hardcode the settings.json around line 40 _$XboxConfigPath = $env:LOCALAPPDATA + "\Packages\Microsoft.XboxApp8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json"

The next issue is the if statement around line 60 If (($XboxConfigFileCorrupted -contains $true)) { } if you change it to If (-not $XboxConfigFileCorrupted) {} it works fine

kaczorws commented 3 years ago

OK, I finally managed to find some time to take a look at this. As @DoNotArgueToxicGames already pointed out, $XboxConfigFileCorrupted required some modifications as Microsoft changed the structure of the Settings.json file and the -match simply did not work (they added single space and broke my regex because hey why not).

I uploaded 1.0.1 pre-release which manages to open the script and the Xbox App BUT (this is the sad part) it seems they changed the domain from which settings are taken from so when the Xbox App opens, the settings are reverted instantly to original bad quality.

By looking through https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/manage-windows-20h2-endpoints I tried using other domains pointed there like:

127.0.0.1 settings-win.data.microsoft.com 127.0.0.1 dlassets-ssl.xboxlive.com 127.0.0.1 cy2.settings.data.microsoft.com.akadns.net

but it seems none of these works. Also I tried using WireShark but it looks like Xbox App is connecting to Azure Cloud services using different IP everytime but I wasn't able to trace any of these to any domain (tried nslookup).

If anyone could find the right domain I would be very grateful as I do not have time currently to look into this more in near future.

DoNotArgueToxicGames commented 2 years ago

The other problem is that you're still trying to connect to the old streaming app for the Xbox One X.

Xbox Series S and X don't use Microsoft.XboxApp they use Microsoft.GamingApp and the XboxPcApp.exe executable.

From the networking monitoring I have done the only domain(s) I could see of interest is(are) indeed. dlassets-ssl.xboxlive.com dlassets-ssl.xboxlive.com.edgekey.net

I will see what I can find.

DoNotArgueToxicGames commented 2 years ago

Extra info: after a lot of testing and trial and error It seems The SeriesX and SeriesS still need the Xbox Companion App installed

DoNotArgueToxicGames commented 2 years ago

More info and debugging: Although it seems the companion app is still needed (but the series X doesn't or can't even use it) it seems the whole settings.json isn't used by the SeriesS and SeriesX

Below is a small log from files being accessed, modified, removed (I have hidden my windows name) this is opening the Xbox app and using the new streaming functionality for the SeriesX from within the Xbox app (not the console companion)

this is monitoring the following folders: C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\Packages and C:\Program Files\WindowsApps

I don't think the old settings.json method will work for SeriesS or SeriesX

This script is no longer maintained - worked only on old pre-2021 Xbox App (which supported only Xbox One/One S/One X).
