So my 360 has been banned, and can't download whatever it needs to download (codec? optional media update?) to play video files through my network.
I did a search through the afterdawn forum and found these posts:
Quote:
Just put your HDD on another Xbox 360 and download the update with it. Or do you mean the fall dashboard update? If yes, download it from www.xbox.com , they also explain how to upgrade your console via CD or memory stick.
Quote:
If you delete your old update,then create a silver dummy account,then download the update it will play then offline.You just have to remember dont try to play movies with your harddrive on another console cause then it will screw that update up.I play divx movies in mine all the time with no profile signed in,or even a eithernet cable.
Quote:
Obviously he has to put his hard drive on another 360 that's not banned from live to download the update. That was already covered in the 2nd post.
Quote:
It does work. I just did it. These updates are not the same thing as DLC that you pay for or get for free because it's being given away for a limited time. The key to this is you have to download the media update with a silver and not a gold account.
the thread is here:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/752811
can someone elaborate on this? would it work?

omg you were so totally wrong :(
i spend like 30 minutes setting it up, and finally got the 360 to detect tversity. i attempt to play the media file...NOPE.
"A media update is required to play this content. blah blah blah Status Code: 51-C00DF236"
ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH this is so sad. my 360 is completely useless now as a "media center." i have a friend with an unbanned 360...should i try the hard drive thing?

Nope, just go in to the TVversity settings and tick the "Transcode All" button, you will then be good to go.

You might need to also refresh your media library too (the big refresh button).
Let us know if it doesnt work

yea it still doesn't work, even after restarting computer, xbox 360, and refreshing my media library
when i try to play the file it says i need the optional media update (probably for the codec or whatever), which i can't get cus my 360 is banned
i thought maybe my 360 just couldn't play ANY videos, but it played downloaded videos i had before getting banned just fine.
has anyone tried the hard drive swap thing? i'm not even sure how that would work.
WTF i just found this on xbox-scene.com forum:

Ok so I got TVersity working great and it now streams AVI files to my banned XBox 360 thanks to uk_dan2k
I set the maximum resolution in TVersity to 1920x1080, so all my videos get upscaled to HD but some of the videos still look kinda bad, is this because the actual video is bad quality?
This is a 200MB Avi TV show episode on WIRED network connection and all TVersity settings are set to HIGH quality.
Also, besides TVersity, are there any better software or TVersity pretty much the best there is for streaming videos to XBOX 360?
goddamnit when i try to play filed it just asks me to update :(

what operating system are you using and what files are you trying to stream?
you might need the ffdshow codecs installed. google that and download it. i just had to do that recently for my buddy who was trying to stream xvid/avi files on vista.

using windows 7 home premium and trying to stream avi files
i'm pretty sure i have the codecs. i installed the k-lite codec pack, and can play every video file i have on my computer.
i found out about another program called mezzmo...but i still got the error code 51-C00DF236 when trying to play it. super sad face :(
Edit: I'm thinking about paying my friend to swap 360's with him. His is currently not banned, because he has never connected it online. However, he did flash his drive to 1.6 lite-on ixtreme, and played non-stealth games on it. If I downloaded the optional media update on his 360, and then it got banned, would i still be able to stream videos? Or do you have to be constantly hooked up online just to stream videos?

just a thought... are you signing on and then trying to stream through tversity? if so... try not signing in and then just going to the video tab and selecting tversity: pc from there and give it a whirl.
even if you download the media update from xbl and then get banned you won't be able to stream through media center. it has something to do with copyrights on avi/divx files or something like that. so by signing on... you're agreeing to the terms and able to stream those files (that's a very shitty explanation but i think it's something along those lines).
even though you have the codecs... try downloading the ffdshow codec, restarting your pc and xbox and then try again.

yea i tried signing off to no profile (i've been trying to use a profile before this)
still get an error message when i try to stream the file, both from tversity and mezzmo
i don't know why i'm the only one who can't seem to do it. other people seem to get tversity to stream to their banned 360s fine
and damn about the "even if you download the media update from xbl and then get banned you won't be able to stream through media center." freakin microsoft. should let us do whatever we want with our 360 if it's offline...

couple questions...
1) can you see tversity through your 360?
2) this may seem stupid as well... but after you checked the "always" option for transcode... did you click save?
and you can definitely play these files on your win 7 machine?

haha no it's not that dumb. i didn't click save at first, but later on i did.
and yea, i can see tversity, AND my own computer. it says something like tversity: jundell (jundell being my computer's name).
all my media is organized like how i organized it in tversity too. it just won't work.

you need a router for it to work. when you run tversity, turn on your media server sharing. then on your xbox 360 go to your videos, and it should pop up as "tversity: <your pc>"

This is an interesting thread. I will make sure to bookmark this in case I have a banned xbox 360 in the future.
Good luck with playing the video files. I don't have any information that can help, sorry.

go to settings on the top tab, then click general on the left tab, then click "start sharing" under Media Sharing.

damn. didn't work. thanks for the attempt though.
very interesting though, i sold my banned 360 1.7 ixtreme lt touch on ebay for 70 bucks on ebay, before shipping. no cables, hard drive, or anything, just console.
then i bought a refurb non-banned console on ebay that came with a controller for 98 dollars after shipping. it comes with cables.
lol if i can sell my now extra set of cables and controller for 28 bucks total, i made a clean swap.
now i just have to decide whether i want to flash it or not.

You have a good chance of getting that for it, i pay around £15 for a power brick, £4 for component cables and £10 - £15 for controllers
