We got an XBox 360 a few days ago but there are some things confusing me...

1. I can't seem to stream films from our computers. I allowed the Xbox permission in the wmp and Zune software, the Xbox sees the film and music folders allowed and can see and play the music but can't see any films. All the films are bog standard Avi's and the Xbox is connected to an sdtv via scary. Any suggestions?

2. I tried to play red dead multiplayer on my live account account but it said I didn't have the right permissions. I don't need a gold account to play it or something stupid?

3. Bit less serious now... In Red dead you have those missing person missions where every so often you end up with a cannibal, anything you can do with them if you catch them and tie them up? Reward etc? I managed to get killed by the mountain lions before getting him into town.... :o

Have you downloaded a media update? Sure first time you watch an avi file it downloads an update.
 
I suggest you download the optional media update, you should also use Vuze if you want to stream movies and anything else to your Xbox.

No, the ones where the question mark comes up and you go to hanging rock, not the wanted posters. Just wondering as I ended up lasooing the cannibal and was wondering what to do with him.:p

And who says I didn't know you had to pay for gold? I knew that, just didn't realise you needed gold to play online. Ah well, I'm not going to play enought to justify spending so meh...:p

Where do I find this optional update? Why is vuse better than WMP and Zune?

Oh, now I'm following. Had to look it up as I haven't been playing for ages.

There are different rewards for it RDR wiki says. But you get the same for turning him in as you do for killing him.

When you try and watch an avi file it should say there is an update required, and do you want to download now.

the folder they are supposed to be in doesn't show any files at all. The music and pictures folder are fine however and all have been shared the same way.
