Its days are numbered!

I can no longer put it with my standard xbox 360. Gonna hack the sucker so I can at least get it to play divx.

Thats what micro$hit get for locking it down too tightly (and not supporting DivX in their media extender).

As u got Vista with media centre built in can't you stream Dvix to you xbox from your pc or dose it not suport DvIx as an output

i heard XBMC supported divx/xvid?

maybe i heard rong

[JonnyThunder]

Yes, the media extender does not support divx. In fact, with some encodings of movies - the media extender will actually crash on the PC and the xbox at the same time!

There is a workaround, but I cant be arsed. I'll just hack it and see how it goes.

ewe no it makes sense

I went the whole way with mine and chipped them. Not the easiest thing in the world to do, but I ended up with a pair of xbox's with 300Gb hard drives in them! They have about 50 games installed on them and they then talk to my media server which has a further 1.4TB of available space for films etc, 250gb of which i have so far used.

And yes XBMC supports divx, xvid and just about any other format you care to throw at it!

[JonnyThunder]

Sorry, I should have clarified. I've chipped many standard xboxes. I'm talking about my 360. The XBMC is awesome. Just a matter of time before the 360 gets a good homebrew media player.

[GoldRush]

did they allready fixed the secure thing then JT or can you still play coppied games over the internet on xbox live i mean

[JonnyThunder]

They haven't locked it down yet - though i'd expect that they may start when Halo 3 is released. Thats what they did last time!
