I know that's why I also said I didn't expect them to add xvid. though xvid has gotten a lot of use nowadays in more legal ways. Especially in trailers and such. kv hasn't come to this level. but then divx has a relatively professional company behind it, wich has done all it could to push for more legal uses of DivX and gotten it as almost a standard support in dvd players.

and I'm pretty sure the 360 support subtitles in some way, well through the MCE anyway if you stream stuff(like tv channels form a MC box). but the real use for mkv wouldn't be subtitles as much as the the wider support it was for video stream and audio stream compatibilities. if you want 5.1 sound without using mp3 you're pretty much stuck with mkv. outside of using wmv anyway.

Nope I tried that, worked on my laptop, didnt work on the 360 :(

Speak of the Devil...

The December debacle could have held up the Xbox Live team more than we thought. With the fall update coming later than expected and the December Xbox live debacle, the spring update could be skipping to fall.

There has been no word of a spring update, and everyone seems to have forgotten about one. Spring has just started and ends on June 20th 11:59:59 so that leaves 3 months left to be completed.

Can the Xbox Live team bring an effective update (not the windows live messenger crap) by the end of spring or do we have to wait till fall?

It's just a rumour, mind, plus we can take solice in the fact that Microsoft didn't mention anything about the last update until a week or two before it was due out.

I am sure they have something already developed ready to release as the Spring update when the time comes.

I guess we will find out in June then because will not announce anything until nearer the time. Just hope some info gets leaked though on coming features/improvements.

which game? cod had no problems neither did halo so what game are you talking about Michael?

Yes, Call of Duty 4 - So many people had major problem with both Live and in-game servers, you can't deny that, people even tried to sue Microsoft over it, so you can't deny it.

It wasn't Call of Duty that caused that, it was simply the sheer number of people singing into Live at Christmas - alll were affected and it wasn't just one major release.

Don't think we ever got an official statement which explained anything? I doubt a lot of users just signing up would cause that, they'd have to actually use the service, Playing Call of Duty 4 which was the Christmas seasons big hit - So i think the problems go hand in hand.

Pretty much my entire friends list during those months were playing Call of Duty 4.

new call of duty 4:MW update/patch includes a new set of menu options:

in the multiplayer & xbox live menu's the update has added a new option for "download maps" which takes you to the download popup that leads to any map packs that they will be releasing in the new few hours & the future.

please not this is not stating that the maps are now available

not too sure on what else is updated in this update/patch so if anyone can add to this then that's amazing.

When are they releasing a new update, there's still lot of stuff missing and I am afraid to say now my 360 is collecting dust :( .

I don't play multiplayer much, so there aren't any good games coming out till 29th. Also the update I am talking about is for the 16:10 support, smoother navigation and annoying freeze that happens everytime I log into xbox live.

Just got the update as well. I don't notice anything different. Probably just some backend stuff I guess.

Edit: Just found this over at Major Nelson's Blog...

A few minutes ago, the team released a system update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE. Sometime over the next few hours when you sign in to Xbox LIVE you?ll recieve a prompt to accept this mandatory update. This update contains code to ?prepare for future growth of the service.? There are no other changes or enhancements in this update?in other words no new features. The next obvious question you?ll have is about the Spring update. At this point we have nothing to announce, and the moment there is information to share I will do so.

Did it occur when you put a game disc in?

Yes i did. I signed in fine and then i loaded up Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and i came up. I thought it was an update for the game.

Maintenance is coming Monday 21th aswell so maybe it has something to do with that.

I feel the spring update is close.

Well, after doing the update, my 360 now has RROD. I don't know if it has anything to do with the update or not, but it froze when I tried to download the Condemned demo, so I turned if off and then back on again and I got RROD.

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.
