Hey All,

Wanted to ask a quick question.. Basically I have connected my 360 to my new AMP (Onkyo 608) and loving
it so far :) I was originally going to build a media centre PC to play my .mkv (blu-ray) rips through
my amp..

However today a friend of mine said that with the latest update on the 360 apparantly the Media Centre
extension will play .avi and .xvid videos no problem .. if this is true can someone please also tell
me if it will play .mkv files and if it does will it support dts and the rest of the audio codecs?

If this is true then I will be saving alot of money by not building a HTPC and using my XBOX 360 instead :)

Also I will be connecting my xbox with a ethernet to my router and my pc is also connected ethernet via router so
no wireless to slow the connection :)

Look forward in hearing from you guys and thanks for all your assistance :)


PS: Will Media Browser also work on the XBOX 360 as I use this on my PC to watch my video library on my TV
in the bedroom

Thanks...

Thank you so much wabashman. I will try this first thing in the morning. Also am I able to use Media browser on the xbox 360?

I have lots of .mkv files with DTS sound. If I follow the guide will it play with no problems and will it still be DTS? Thank you so much for all your help :)

not sure about media browser. but i know i can play any of my mkv files via WMC and that tutorial i linked you to. not sure what audio codec they are in as most of them are on my desktop and i dont feel like checking...but its whatever is default for secretly obtained movies/shows.
