Xbox 360 video player lag

WickedCrown2 · Jan 2, 2014

Hi guys. So, I have this 1080p movie in my computer, but I wanted to watch it on my TV. As I don't have a notebook or a laptop, and putting my computer in the room is not an option, I decided to use my xbox 360. However, I don't have wi-fi, so I decided to put the movie(already in the correct format) in a pen drive(already in FAT 32 so the xbox can read it).

My TV is also 1080p, and I have a HDMI cable/wire connecting the xbox and the TV. The xbox settings are already set to match the TV.

So, I put the pen drive on the xbox, and I used the video player of the xbox. The movie opened. However, when it started, it was lagging: the image was slow, and the sound was clearly ahead of the image.

This makes it impossible to watch the movie. Does anyone know how to fix this, if there is a way?

Thanks for the attention.

For thos who have no more HDMI ports.

Exactly this. I was playing FIFA whilst having the 360 run through my XB1. Terrible lag and made player reactions terrible. Won't be doing it again. I'm lucky my TV has 3 HDMI slots

System Video Player

I have only just got my Xbox One this week and before I part with my 360 which I use in the living room to stream content from my NAS I can't seem to do the same with the XB1.

Google suggests the System Video Player has not been included with XB1 this could be a major negative for me as my wife and I used the 360 every week to watch content. Does anyone know if the System Video Player will be brought back in updates?

His "fixes" are minimal and already widely known. There is no way to truly fix this broken game from the lag/lag comp. Time to kill with most weapons is faster than the lag that a good portion of players have to deal with. That said, the video was informative.
I'd recommend people watch this video and the one prior to it that explains what lag and lag comp is.

I'm UK, I'm actually running my Xbox 360 through the hdmi so I can switch from 360 to xbox one just by saying 'xbox tv' for pseudo backwards compatibility. I've so far played videos off the xbox 360 through the one with no lag, run last.fm on the 360 through
the one with no lag, and played assassins creed revelations on the 360 through the one with no lag, so not sure why your tv input would be laggy just running sky, maybe something on the sky box side of things?
