    Playing video files with xbox 360 video


    I have a 360 in my main bedroom that I use mainly for apps and video. Last night my network was glitchy and it would not play any of my video files. Do I really need to be connected to Live just to play video files from a external device? I get a popup
    saying I need to connect and download to play but nothing downloads.

    :)

    Can I play video files from the 120GB hard drive?

    No, there's no way to transfer video files to the Xbox 360 hard drive. The best way to play your video files is by putting them onto a USB drive and playing them from the built in video player.

    Abstergo Video Files Not Playing (360)

    I recently completed my games on demand copy of ACIV but all of the video files I should be able to play from the "communicator" will not. When I attempt to play one it merely reloads the list I am on. Is this a glitch or did I accidentally change some setting
    or something?

    Can Play Video only from USB Stick not through Shared PC

    Allo;

    on the 360: My Video Apps -> System Video Player -> PC -> media file == does not play

    on the 360: My Video Apps -> System Video Player -> Portable Device -> media file == plays just fine

    (the "Portable Device" is simply a USB stick)

    so it's the same player on the 360, same file, but two different "locations". Should play them both it seems... no?

    Can't watch videos on xbox (streaming from mac) although I have updated the xbox system

    It may be that some of your files are unsupported, this page lists the specs of supported files:

    support.xbox.com/.../audio-video-playback     You will note that it plays MP4s just fine, it just depends on the MP4.

    what kinds of video does my x-box support??

    Hiya, bit long winded, but hope this helps!:

    Supported File Types

    The Xbox 360 supports AVI, WMV, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.264 and QuickTime movie formats. The file extensions included are as follows: .avi, .divx, .wmv, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, and .mov.

    Video Playback

    For video files with the WMV container, playback occurs at 15 Mbps (Mega-Bytes Per Second) with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Files with the H.264 container have the same resolution, but are played back at 10 Mbps. For AVI and MPEG-4 Part 2 video files, playback
    is 5 Mbps at 1280 x 720 resolution.

    Audio Playback

    The Xbox 360 supports WMA 7-9 and Lossless audio profiles for WMV video formats. Dolby Digital and MP3 profiles are supported in AVI formats. For MPEG-4 Part 2 and H.264 encoded videos, the console supports only two-channel AAC audio encoding.

    Streaming Video

    With Zune software, the Xbox 360 can stream unprotected AVI, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.264, and WMV video formats. Through Windows Media Player, protected and unprotected WMV videos can be streamed.

    Streaming Tips

    Download a third-party video codec package to expand the amount of video formats you can stream using the Windows Media Player. For better playback, convert video files into the more Mircosoft user-friendly WMV format using a third-party video conversion
    program.
