[George P Global Moderator]

That shouldn't be hard for them to do. But people want features more and stuff like better performence second.

I'm hoping for a decent mod so the we can get some Open Source software in the console... I loved XBMC and I want it for XBOX 360.

Strange I have a MKV Music video that works with WMC on 360

MS previusly have stated that they support the developement of XBMC like apps for the 360 in relation to comments on XNA. I don't think XNA allows enough access to the grpahics card or to the network yet though, but they also said they where working on openign these up so XBMC and other apps would be possible.

haven't heard aymore aboutt hat since XNA was released and they talked about that though.

You can stream MKV's with no probs.

I hope they'll bring customizations to the build-in dash media player, list options etc. I hate the default folder view!

I'd like:

The video marketplace to launch internationally, have 16:10 support, be able to watch divx and xvid movies from a burnt disc/external device and the ability to copy media from an external device/cd to the internal hard drive.

[zerolimit]

and transcode it? 5.1 sound?

[HawkMan]

I get 5.1 sound on my transcodes if the source has it.

can we please get the option that if someone sends a message, and that message display screen pops up while in the game, if we hit the guide button it will auto play the message in our headset...its so annoying when someone sends you a message and you dont want to stop, bring up the guide, listen to it, then close it all back down....it takes to long if your in the middle of a game!

[zerolimit]

the only thing is that you dont get that great of a quality. I'll just stick with WMV-HD for now...

thanks!

Yea thats a good idea. When someone sends a message instead of hitting the Guide Button and having the Guide pop up when you get the notification, it should just play the message once, and then if you want to go back to it or replay it you can then bring up the Guide like normal.

But what happens when the message is a text?

[slickice11]

Scroll it in a ticker tape at the bottom of the screen, or have Microsoft Sam's robot voice read it to you :laugh:

Anyone know when the Fall update is happening???

Anyone know when the Fall update is happening???

December 4th.

I'd like more stability for the guide, it's forever hanging and freezing for ages and I end up having to restart the console. Sometimes it's just when i do somethign simple like views my friends list, the blade just goes blank and hangs forever!

Very annoying, the message option sounds good too though :)

I wish you could disable certain notifications from popping up. For example, I don't need to know every time one of my friends logs on, but what I do need a notification to pop up for is if a friend sends me a message or an invite or something. I know you can turn off notifications from popping up all together, but I would like to be able to filter for only message notifications.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Both good suggestions guys ^. The guide does need fixing as it's been like that for a while now.

And Magik I agree, I've often wished we could select which ones popup and which ones to disable. Quite annoying when someone has network issues or is updating games etc :p (we're all guilty of it ;) )

The day it's released, just like every other software update out there :/

They released a list of changes for the Spring update a week or so before release.

They did? :s My mistake then :p We don't usually get a complete list of all the changes until the update is out and Xbox.com gets updated. We usually just hear of what to expect in the update, which so far has stayed true (Xbox downloads announcement).

[Guest]

Don't quote me on that, but I'm fairly sure of it.
