just so you all know i use Koepis codec pack with windows 7 and everything plays perfectly, no stutter, no slow down and full HD support.
Also supports DTS sound, 7.1

just throwing it out there for you all

Streaming playback on the 360 or are you talking about on your PC?

Hmm...wonder if CCCP gives any issues with this.

I also had to remove  Shark007 win 7 codecs, but now it works great! So much better than converting, and faster too.

You are actually getting DTS output from your 360 extender using that codec pack with Win7?  If so that is big news!

Since this requires Windows 7, I thought I would mention that after getting banned while using the Windows 7 RC (Beta), I needed to be signed into Live. I recently got banned, but when my retail copy of Windows 7 showed up I was still able to connect.

Has anyone tried this on Win2008 server?

I have a big raid setup with all my media sitting on this and am keep to know if it works off this platform too...

[jappe84]

anyone found a solution for playing back DTS audio yet?

[double b26]

i dont know much about it all, but from researching transcoding bluray rips with 5.1 audio, the xbox doesnt support beyond stereo when it comes to the video playback.  i dont know how true it is, or if rented/bought marketplace videos support surround, but that's what i remember reading all over the place when it comes to streaming the mkv's.

As far as i know ac3 is supported but not dts you have to convert the audio. There is an audioconverter tool many uses for popcorn hour that will do this for you. Input.mkv with dts -> output.mkv with ac3

Ok. you can now play mkv's on the 360.
Using windows7, so no need for any codec packs now.

1) Installed the Divx 7 R3 preview from the divx site (in the labs section, requires login)
2) just install Haali Media Splitter (i got mine from klite)
3) just install AC3Filter (to allow DTS tracks to play)
Now using Media Center they all play with no transcoding etc.

The only problem i have is BDRIPS with DTS, and the screen jumps a bit every few seconds.

enjoy

dude thx for sharing this  

installed the 3 required files, opened win7 mc, and now my xbox 360 can play my mkv movies

I downloaded and installed everything, but WMC on the xbox won't show any .mkv files in the video library

Any help would be great.

Hey guys, I just tried this on a fresh windows 7 ultimate install and it works great! Unfortunately only about half of my MKV files play properly. The rest either refuse to play completely or I get a black screen with just audio.

With video inspector I found out that the ones that don't play at all are using DTS audio. Is there any way around this or no?

Thanks for the great tips so far!

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but I just bought a new xbox 360 (black one with 250gig drive) and I was trying to stream my BD rips and other movies. The only thing that I found that works great is PS3 media server. The xbox see it no problem and plays everything so far that I have thrown at it. Of course I have it hard wired into my router. Just install the ps3 media server and add your folders you want to use and pristo.

Good Luck
