xbox dashboard update.
- Thread starter Neoni
- Start date
My Xbox sits underneath the TV and the PC is on the otherside of the room. Makes more sense having my Xbox connected to the TV rather than the PC as long cables are expense for a start.
Even with TVersity I found it to be a pretty good way of streaming media. Now it supports DivX without having to transcode on the fly it's even better!
I tend to multitask when watching tv/comedy, so i dont like the idea of having my PC being used up as a media player
then again, i also like to have my games console free too (PIP or dual tvs), so i've found XBMC is the solution for me as a standalone player
To anyone having problems with some playing but others you are only getting the sound set your resolution to 640x480 and that should sort the problem, worked for me anyhow, just remember to switch it back
Gonna give this a go - Thanks

That would quickly become a PITA though wouldn't it?
can confirm changing my res to 640 480 plays the files i cant play
it is nothing to do with pal 50 as mine never changed still on 60
must just be a glitch in the codec i think at least we know it is capable of playing most files hope they sort it soon as it is annoying

Just a quick way to get round the problem until a fix is released, thats if they bother releasing one.
Aye :/
Will try it when I get home, did wonder whether to check but didn't think it would make any difference
Well it worked for me on the media I had no video on.
The avi files my Canon A80 natively records in are still not supported so I'm a bit gutted (lots of short family videos). I really am a noob to all this and apparently it's an MJPEG compression. I presume I'm right in thinking these won't be played and it's not something I'm doing/not doing?
PS I'm using Vista Home Premium

Yes.
I was already at PAL60, the trick of turning the res to 640x480 worked though.
Just hope MS recognise it as a bug but I'm not hopeful. Some of my stuff works and some doesn't, yet they are all encoded the same.
Still doesn't solve the mystery of why it's now refusing to play my .mp4 files though.
EDIT - 640x480 bug is being widely reported for VGA cable users and it seems to happen if you are using a 50Hz/PAL video file.
