Is there a newer Media update ? i'm after one to use windows media centre on my Jtag
Will this version do it ??
..I'll try anyway
 
Media Centre should work on your Jtag regardless, click the icon on the dash, it should give you a pin number.

Go to your media center, add an extender, enter the pin and it should configure that 360 to work as an extender.
 
Im sorry for this noobie type of question but I bought my Xbox with Freestyle Dash 3 already installed in the 500GB Hard Drive that came with it. I run all my games using freestyle dash when it loads. If i disconnect my hard drive and then boot my Xbox, the normal Xbox dash comes up where I obviously have no games at all. According to the vendor i bought it from I can go on Xbox live and play games online without getting banned as long as i dont go online using freestyle dash and I use Original CD's.

My question is is my Xbox JTAG'ed/RGH'ed or whatever and can I install this media update.
 
Hi, I've been searching for a few days now about this media update. So, I have a Jtagged xbox, and I was wondering if it's possible to pust this media update (the one in the download link in the first post) on a USB and connect it to my xbox and then copy it from there? Or am I supposed to do it in another way?
 
Okay, also, what EXCATLY do I need to copy/paste? The entire 00000002 folder or just the file in it? Cause I found out that on my hdd I have a 0040000 folder instead of the 00000002 one...
 
look i didnt try these things before but i have 4gb slim jtaged with a 16 gb configured usb and have the folder you recommended in the method.Sorry for this but do you have tried this on your xbox.does your pirated games working fine and all of your videos.by doing this wont anything could go wrong.would it be fine.Please reply me i want this upate cause i have many episodes to play
 
Big shoutout to you!
All this time I have been using FFPlay, (which is just ok), didn't know you could play mp4 just by updating the codex.
Hugh "Thank You"!
Your information is always on point, and I've learned so much from U.

Q11: What is the "real" max bit rate, resolution and frames per second that Xbox 360 supports for all the different formats?

A11: Xbox 360 does not specifically block video from playing based on a maximum bit rate, a resolution or frames per second. The maximums listed previously for each codec are the results from tests for various video playback sources. Higher-rated content will not be blocked, but playback may be less then optimal. Use higher bit rates at your own risk.
 
A few years later and another person has come seeking help. I downloaded the newer update files and put it in my content folder but it is still saying I need the media update.....is it not compatible with the avatar update or is there some sort of dash launch setting interfering? I have Ps3 Media Center running and would love to go ahead and start watching stuff on my crt with my Xbox 360.

Hopefully a savior stumbles across this


EDIT: I found another copy of that update file on another website and gave it a try, am now able to stream stuff. I can only imagine something on my end corrupted the file I downloaded from here

I can finally run MP4 videos on my 360! God bless you, however it still cannot recognize png images and some other formats but otherwise it runs great. I'm here to ask you how to enable subtitles for the videos, most people say that the 360 doesn't support subtitles but the option is there, I tried to rename the subtitles same as the video and put them in the same file but it didn't work, any solution?
Also why doesn't it recognize the files on the flash drive? (When using the storage tab) It recognizes the flash and the used storage (3.5gb) but it cannot read the videos inside it. I mean yeah I can open the video/picture media player apps and browse the files just fine but the problem is I can't transfer those files into the Xbox hard drive.

Damn I just realized how old this forum is, wonder if you still there after all them years.
 
@Tariq131 the 360 should support 24‑bit and 32‑bit PNG images. You'd have to confirm the format of the images you are trying to view.

Subtitles are supported for DVD's only, not video files unfortunately.

The flash drive has to be FAT32 formatted on a PC and not "configured for Xbox 360 use"

No support exists for playing your own media from the internal hard drive, the exception to this are Audio CD's you have ripped yourself directly on the Xbox 360.

Yup Digiex is pretty old at this point, as are the Xbox 360 related threads. I do still try help out if I can though!
