DVDX2 does not work with the remote...it is it's own software.
DVDX is a hacked MS Dashboard...it works with the remote.

I think you're using DVDX2 when you should be using DVDX.

will my xbox with xecuter 2.1 lite with the regular linux cromwell bios run this program? if not i can flash the chip with new bios on disc right?

Yes it's possible with homebrew software called DVD-X 2 released by X-ecuter team.

EDIT:

And since 2005-09-12 you can also use XBMC´s built in DVD player with full dvd menu support!

Surely the dvd kit just puts a file on the xbox? why doesn't somebody just find out what that is and distribute it so that people can action replay or ftp it?

You might want to try the XBMP 2.4 It works great for playing any type of media

No, Cromwell won't run ANYTHING that isn't Linux-based.

No, it doesn't put any files on the Xbox. It's a dongle. The software detects if it's present or now.

Does DVD-X work on every version of xbox?

I've tried to get R1 dvd's work with remote, but since I have 1.2 xbox people have told me that DVDX doesnt work with other than 1.1..

Xeero · « **Reply #26 on:** October 11, 2003, 05:38:00 AM »

It will work with version 1.2+, but with the version of the dash that comes with the 1.2, as far as I know. There have been a few recent region-free patches for the newer MS Dash version recently. I want to say the guy working on them was name Sylver, but I could be wrong.

I can get moveis to play without any playback kit. These movies are my backup copies, and once I pop the movie in it auto plays them. I think it may have something to do with the menu on the dvd. I leave the menus out on the backups and they seem to work. But I havent tried to any of the controls (FF,REW,Stop,Pause,ect.) But they will play!!!!!
