    Xbox 360 Xbox video movies play EXTREMELY dark, many scenes unwatchable.


    Client being used:(Console, Windows 8/RT App, Windows Phone, etc)

    • Movie/TV or Artist Title:
    • If TV: Series/Season/Episode number:
    • If Artist: Album/Track Title:
    • SD or HD:
    • Stream or Download:
    • Purchase or Rent:
    • What you've tried so far:
    I've had this problem where all the movies I purchase through the Xbox Video service come in EXTREMELY dark when I try to watch them on TV. It happened just recently again when me and my wife tried to watch Godzilla (2014), but it was also dark in Captain
    America Winter Solider, Robocop, Riddick, Pacific Rim, and most of the other movies I have bought. I have a white Xbox 360 hooked up to my TV through component. Each movie was Purchased and Streamed in HD. I know it is not my TV settings as DVD movies,
    television, and even movies through other apps on the Xbox 360 like Netflix and Amazon play perfectly fine. If I take a movie that is available on Netflix and Amazon, and stream it through my Xbox 360 on my TV it plays perfect. However, I purchase that SAME
    movie through Xbox Video, and its so dark you can barely see what's going on any scene not lit up like a Christmas tree. I even unplugged my 360, and plugged it into another TV in the house and the same video issue happened. Also, Captain America comes in
    VERY low in the audio, that needs to be fixed.

    Horizontal thick lines, 3d xbox one

    I recently activated the 3D bluray ability on The xbox one. I am seeing horizontal lines during fast video motion and dark scenes as well as contrast scenes really bright and dark in the same picture. Any help would be great it is pretty unwatchable when
    it starts up.

    I tested it on "The Croods" 3D bluray

    Xbox Video movies come in way too dark.

    I've noticed this problem with most of my movie purchases from Xbox Video. Television shows fine on my TV, Xbox 360 video games show fine and other apps (such as Youtube, Amazon Instant Video, and Netflix) play fine on the Xbox360. However, when I watch
    a movie I've purchased through the Xbox Video Service on my TV it shows up way too dark. So dark that most of the time it ruins the movie. I tried to watch Contraband, Safe House and countless other movies that I've purchased. All come up dark when played
    on the Xbox 360 on my TV through the Xbox Video services. Those same movies however, when played on my Surface tablet, or PC show perfectly fine. I noticed that Comcast also had Contraband "On Demand". So I watched it on my TV through their service and it
    showed fine. Just to be sure I went back and forth between the two videos on my Xbox and through Comcast. There were certain scenes that could be barely seen through the Xbox Video service that were clear as day on Comcast.

    Has anyone else noticed this problem? If so is it being addressed?

    Xbox One Playback Woes

    All I know is this needs a fix ASAP. Video is almost unwatchable and this is supposed to be an all in one device? I won't rent a movie on Xbox video for fear of this judder and frame drops. Why does the ps4 get super hd on Netflix and we don't? And they
    aren't having this issue. Argh.

    Purchased Video on Surface, want to play it on XBox Console

    Hello,

    On your Xbox make sure you are signed in the same account as on your Surface. Go to "tv & movies" and go into Xbox Video. From there go to "My Videos" and "My Movies", Is your video there?

    Remember rented videos will only play on the device they were bought on, only "Purchases" are available on all xboxs/devices.

    From your Surface, play the video, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap "Play on Xbox 360" this will send the video to play on your Xbox 360 but you must have purchased the movie, not rented it.

    Hope this Helps,

    Thanks :)

    Xbox Video movies come in way too dark.

    +1 Same issue here. I am not running HDMI as I have an older xbox, DVDs, movie TRAILERS, TV, everything else plays fine. The Xbox Video Stream is way too dark. Makes horror movies or movies shot in the dark, un-watchable.

    Anyone have suggestions? Is the the composite connections? Why do the trailers look fine and bright and not the stream?

    BTW-it is streaming in full HD

    New Upload Studio makes extremely jerky videos

    Made a quick video to showcase just how jerky the video output is. This is after a hard reset and using the original video captured by the xbox (which plays perfect).

    It's borderline unwatchable.

    Xbox live down again

    I should make a log of how many times xbox live core services for xbox 360 and xbox 1 go down, but id probably need a 2B5 exercise book for that a year, just kidding. I can just watch videos and movies or play minecraft pocket edition.
