throw video on usb hdd, problem solved

Why bother with that when I have a 1tb external Hard drive, soldered to the mobo.  I shouldn't need to bother with a usb hdd....ever.

from the looks of it, it's not possible to put media on hdd1, you'll either have to burn it to disc or put it on a usb drive/thumb drive

Just wait for the people who are working on putting media support into custom dash's or the mplayer port thats being worked on I know it sucks but once those are done your jtagged box will be pure win.

I too am waiting for media support. You know XBMC is open source anyone on the scene is allowed to pick it up and port it if they so choose too. It obviously isn't easy or someone would have done it already , my guess is they will do it how they did on the original. It will start as something small and slowly but surely become something original like XBMC , and then it will be replaced as the Dash of choice.
 Mplayer would be much better than the stock media player that is for sure , if we just had 3d support and audio support for 360 linux XBMC runs just fine on Linux it is the main dev platform for it.
 Just give it some time fellas it won't be much longer before we have something , isn't it still fun even without though? I am just having fun being able to mod games now.

 Yea but it barely plays anything , you have to have every file in the exact right format. Mplayer really doesn't care it is much more flexible , which is why XBMC is a good dash for the original xbox.
 I was saying it is fun still even though we don;t have XBMC or any kind of homebrew media player yet , and also even though we can't put the video files on the internal HDD without signing them.
 I don't have nor do i plan on getting an external USB hardrive i like the one being on top of my 360 , so it would be nice to be able to read the files from wherever we wanted too , and having a homebrew media player would fix that issue. I think one of the dashboards will eventually get video support like freestyle or xexmenu i guess we will see.

No, not problem solved.

I finally got around to trying this.  I know for a fact I've got the optional media update on the xbox hdd correctly.  When I put my USB Flash drive in with an AVI file on it, the drive isn't even recognized in the video library.  It is FAT32 formatted.  I plug it in the front, I'm hoping it doesn't matter which USB slot it goes in.

It seems like it would be really easy to get video files into the right container so they can be saved to the hard drive

i hope someone with a better understanding of this stuff takes on the task soon!

You can use LeFluffie to create PIRS files with content attribute 'VIDEO'. Then it shows up in 'downloadable content' but always throws 'format not supported'. I tried to put mp4 and wmv in the container but they seem to get rejected.

I don't have any official video file to analyze. If someone can provide one feel free to send me a PM.
