Not really new news. This has been possible for years via a hacked xb1 backward-compatibility update (originally on dev, and more recently on jtagged units). We had Avalaunch, Surreal64, XBMC, and other xb1 homebrew running on 360 back in 2006 (you can find the news items about it in the X-S archive). The hacked back-compat has just never been released publicly. While this is a much less elegant way of achieving the same end result, it's neat though that someone has finally stumbled upon an alternate way to do it. Sadly though, in the end, XBMC doesn't work for playing back videos this way. An actual port needs to be done.
