Smashing Pumpkin Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Is it possible to download the media update required to play Avi movie files and burn it to a disc to update a 360 which has no available internet connection? Or even if I were to take the HDD to someone elses Xbox could I download it on their 360 and then put the HDD back on mine would that work?

GameOverRob Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 is this on a banned console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashing Pumpkin Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Photos are unavailable whatever they are. It's not banned, the problem is that the ethernet socket actually just closed up one day and I'm too poor to buy a wireless adapter, so I can't get it online :ninja: EDIT: Ahh it's your sig. EDIT 2: I forgot about the HDD/achievement functionality being disabled by a ban as well. fml :p Edited January 10, 2010 by Smashing Pumpkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Yup! Annoying isn't it. I've just bought another one to use offline for achievements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tristan Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Softmod your old xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 ^ Probably your best bet. No way to get it working otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashing Pumpkin Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Soft mod my 360? what would that achieve sorry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenut Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 He means original xbox. Softmod it, use XBMC, instant media center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashing Pumpkin Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 I dunno why people assume I have an original Xbox, I don't, but Cheers :) I never used Media Center on the 360, only thing I want to be able to do is play AVIs on it, and can't that be done on any modern dvd player, even a budget one like Tesco's own. Looks like I'm gonna end up buying a DVD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 That wasn't what I meant, and I know you have a 360. Try looking at this https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=850940 I think that this allows you to add custom Codecs, which would also allow you to play mkv's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like that only works on Pre NXE Consoles, which mine is not :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaredFrost Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 This is due to the copy protection on the 360, the current download for this media codec isn't for this xbox/hard drive. you'll need to delete the media codecs, and download it using a Gamertag that has never downloaded it before Create a new one if you have to, just to download this update, then you'll be able to play AVIs offline Or do the license transfer thing from the xbox website. But both would require being able to go online, at least for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalE Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Perhaps you have a friend who would let you borrow a wireless adapter? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashing Pumpkin Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 LINK Does the Fall 09 System Update include the Optional Media Update with AVI codecs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneNutter MVC Posted January 19, 2010 MVC Share Posted January 19, 2010 Does the Fall 09 System Update include the Optional Media Update with AVI codecs? Nope it doesn't, the optional media update is like arcade games / dlc, its tied to the profile / console that downloads it so your console has to go on live to get it. The only way to get the optional media update working on a console offline is to jtag hack it. Maybe try something like http://tversity.com/ i know it used to allow you to steam divx/xvid to the 360 by converting it to windows media on the fly.

Smashing Pumpkin Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks a lot for the suggestion IN but I can't really network the console up where it's at, not even to the computer. No technical reasons for that just my room is always such a ****ing tip :rofl: Looks like my 360 will be DIVXless forever, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneNutter MVC Posted January 20, 2010 MVC Share Posted January 20, 2010 lol, tidy up? them moldy pizzas are only gonna get worse :p Failing that do what Tristan suggested, buy an old Xbox 1 off ebay, softmod and install XBMC on it. Its not gonna play HD stuff but it should be perfect for any SD stuff. Probably the best ?30 or so you could spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
