Why is my xbox only allocating 2.1gig for movies ?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I tried allocating the xbox which has the movie on "Movie and TV" app to "my home xbox" and then trying to tie in to that home xbox "Movies and TV" from my daughters xbox (which is currently designated as "this is not my home xbox") but am not able to see
the movie when I go into "movies and TV" from her xbox. I am sure I am doing something wrong; any help would be appreciated. (I am able to see the movie from my pc tho but doesn't help as my daughter wants to watch these movies on her xbox). Thanks again...

Hello RoastGuitar70,

We see that one of your Movie purchases was not properly allocated toward the "Present" chapter. Apologies for the inconvenience. We will adjust this purchase, and you should see the events and pending Credits by the end of next week.

Hello,

You'd need to actually format the drive completely before you're able to allocate more space to USB Flash Drive. The Xbox 360 cannot re-configure an already configured storage device. The only way to re-configure it is to format and then allocate as much space
as you'd like the Xbox 360 to have use of then configure.

And surprisingly it is probably the only thing in the game the all purpose A button is not allocated to.

Obsessive Power has a good explanation but perhaps I can help as well. When you format any usb drive to work on the Xbox 360 it claims that space to be used ONLY by the 360. Your computer will not be able to access and use that space, which it why it only
shows up as 458MB on the computer but not the Xbox. It is like splitting the usb drive in two. You will have 8GB total but your computer will only recognize the space you allocate to the PC, and your Xbox 360 will only be able to recognize what you allocate
to the Xbox 360. If you would like to change the sizing, you can go back onto the Xbox 360 find the storage options, and you can have it remove and/or resize the Xbox 360 allocated space.

I believe the 360 can play music from a usb stick so adding the music to the PC side of the storage may allow you to play the music while using it as additional storage from the Xbox side, but I have not tried this yet. Maybe someone else would know this
for certain. I'm not sure what you mean by profile. You could store your Live profile on the Xbox space, but your PC would not be able to see it, only the Xbox.
