Official Xbox Q&A thread

K..like, I have movies on my computer that I want to watch on my 360, but when I got to the video section in my dashboard, it says no Videos can be found. I finally got a router, so set my **** up and all that, the streaming is working right, I can stream my pics and music, but not my videos.

Anyone have any idear why?

Possible that you don't have the right licensing for the videos.

If they are downloaded, chances won't work no matter what you do. The 360 sees it as illegal content and says BAM! to you and your pr0n.

I was also just reading that with this new spring update, anyone who trys to download content (from marketplace) without paying for it will be "blocked".

I would burn it to a DVD, or put it on a flash drive/PSP, then it will work.

Flasg drives are the answer to the world's problems, just put the ozone layer on a flash drive and open the file when 95% of the population has skin cancer; saving the other 5% and cutting down on overcrowded places.

Nerp. I did some research, and they are just wrong files types. They have a program that can transcode them into the right stuff, so I'm going to try that.

[BoyEngland]

Wow, I was typing that and then I changed it to the licencing.

They are adding more file format support with the new update, hang in there.

So...um...I had an accident, and by accident I mean I dropped my 360. It landed on the packaging box, so I didn't sweat it, but when I turned it on, I took longer to load on the initial start up, and the raction time from me hitting a button to **** moving on my screen is delayed like 2 seconds.

Should I call Microsoft?

--EDIT--

**** ****, nvm. I unplugged everything, let it set for a minute, then plugged everything back in and it's running normal.

[BoyEngland]

That same crap happens to me all the time and I didn't even drop it!

Nice to hear you got it working alright again, but mine lags (lack of a better term) like hell going through the dashboard sometimes.

I may do what you did and unplug it all.

[E. Writer]

Try cleaning the cache. That may be causing the lag, and it may have been my problem.

If you don't know how;

Go to system>memory>select hdd(or memory card) and hit y> then press x,x,lb,rb,x,x >something will pop up>select yes.

Only downfall of doing this, you will have to re-dl any updats you have previously dled for games.

Glad it worked E. BTW...why were you carrying it around?

[E. Writer]

Heh. I wasn't carrying it. I went to put my controller next to it and bumped into it. This is a lesson learned, don't stand your 360 upright unless you have to. I know I'm not standing mine up anymore.

[BoyEngland]

I had my stood up when I had it on the floor, that didnt last long because crpet doesnt provide a flat enough surface and it ended up leaning to one side.

I now have it stood up on a desk for better ventilation but I will see how long that lasts.

I like to have it stood up because I can put my controller and my headset on the top to make them look better. (Joke, but I do put them up there)

Mine toppled over the first day I got it and it trashed my CoD3 so bad I had to get a new copy before even playing it! That's the only time anything bad has happened to my 360 and I hope it is the only time.
