[Mr. Me]

Still Needs
ogg and mkv support
options for choosing subtitle and audio stream for files with multiple streams
screen resizing for overscan

I watch tons of anime and need to be able to choose japanese audio with english subs without the subs being cut off.

Well mine played for a little while. Now the list of videos either doesn't show up or when it does show up I get an status code: 53-CO0DF238 error after I try to get a movie to play. Telling me to make sure my pc is turned on and connected to the network etc etc. Which it is turned on and connected. It worked before and I didn't mess with any settings.

Does anybody else get this error?

I've tested a few divx/xvid files and they all play perfectly. However, 5.1 embedded audio is NOT being decoded and sound is stereo-only. I have played them from a usb pen drive as well.

5.1 audio embedded in xvid movie files is working just fine for me.  I'm streaming content across my network.

I have tried this now and it works a treat cheers rdeal
BTW i tried composite cable first to save going upstairs and setting that to 60hrz
it doesnt work, has to be a component cable

here's how to fix that problem but you need component cables
When trying to play 25 or 50 fps content, I don’t get any video over VGA

This only affects consoles which output PAL-50 and PAL-60 output modes. There is a known issue in which 25 or 50 fps video sometimes doesn’t display over a VGA connection if you have previously connected your Xbox over component video output.

 

The workaround for this issue is as follows:

1.       Connect your Xbox 360 to a display device using a component video cable

2.       Go to the System Blade

3.       Go to Console Settings

4.       Go to Display

5.       Set your display settings to a different resolution than is currently selected (e.g., set it to 480p if your current setting is 720p)

6.       You should see a slider with the words “Your display settings have changed. You can keep this setting or try another. Do you want to keep the new settings? If you keep the new settings, your TV will be tested to see if it also supports this setting at 50Hz.” Answer “Yes, keep these settings” to this prompt.

7.       After this your display will be tested for 50Hz output

8.       You should see a slider with the words “Now displaying at 50Hz. Does this display appear correctly?”  Answer  “No” to this prompt even if the display is correct. Again, make sure to answer “No” to this prompt.

9.       Connect your Xbox up via VGA again. The videos should now play correctly.
and no it does not mean you are setting you 360 to 50hz

3. mp4a: MPEG-4 AAC LC 48000Hz  142 kb/s tot , stereo <--- Doesn't Play

Could someone explain? I can play every video on my pc, so it's not a problem with files..
I can see the difference in 1 and 2.. but 2 and 3.. if xbox plays the 2nd file.. it should play the 3rd.

Message from xbox:
Can't play this content because it may not be supported.... Status Code: 69-C00D002F

PS. SRT SUBS NOT BEING LOADED

I have 2x PAL 360's, one is on an old 24" widescreen non HDTV connected up by RGB Scart, the other is on a 42" Panasonic Plasma hooked up by VGA.
I was looking forward to the dash update as I use Divx a lot for TV shows.
My format of choice is .hr.ac3.5.1 Divx, so I was keen to try it. Afterdownloading an additional file, which I presume was just a codec, I did get a test TV show in .hr to play, but strangely it was in a window roughly half the size of the screen. I tried the aspect ratio settings etc, but the picture just changed within the box in the middle of the screen, and I could not figure out how to stretch it to fill the screen.
Ive not yet tried it on the other TV, but Im guessing it will be the same.
So I'm rather dissapointed by this update.

[kseries]

does it upconvert like a upconverted dvd player would.

I had the same prob, found the ones that will not play have CBR audio, the ones that do play are VBR. Any suggestions on converting?

[Big_Peb]

Excellent update!

Now if I can get some decent homebrew I might have to lay the original Xbox to rest.

[bucko]

It would be nice if they allowed some kind of partition to allow you to put your own movies on the HDD, cause without demos and VMP I wouldn't use my 120GB HDD. I haven't even used Divx on the 360 yet, to much faffing about when on my Xbox 1 it goes straight on the HDD. At least when I get my PS3 at Xmas I can use PS3Linux to play some good stuff.

im requesting this advice having already tried what im about to ask and have searched around to no avail; ive read in faqs that the xbox 360 should support divx files on portable devices plugged into its usb port but the ipod maybe isnt one of the supported portable devices as far as divx vid files go.

microsofts release notes for the new update mention much firmer support for ipods (not necessarily iphones or itouches) and added divx playability.  my question is: has anybody been able to put divx vid files onto an ipod and stream them from the xbox360?  if so, how?

i understand that the ipod can stream music and photos from its library on the xbox360 but have failed trying to stream divx files placed either in a folder on the root of the ipod or just in the root.  they are avi's encoded with divx/xvid btw.  i guess i might be doing something wrong but cant seem to figure it out myself since im coming here for advice.

I think that ipods are not recognised as storage devices by X360, you can access only "iTunes content"
