Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Digital Foundry: New 360 dash borks video playback

Tagged games:

Haven't really checked out many videos since the dashboard, so I'll give it a whirl later, but so far I haven't really encountered any issues.

Don't think it will really affect Microsoft at all, and I'm sure they're working on a fix, these things take time.

Haven't encountered any issues so I can't really say why they deleted (if they did) threads about it.



I was in the beta and didn't notice anything personally.



All I want to know is this - Why, on the sign in screen, am I treated like a 4 Year old? Teddy bears? Sheep? What?

Yeah, but why do you think they're deleting threads about it?

If I had to hazard a guess, they know about the problem, they know they're gonna fix it, they most likely know it will only affect a percentage of the userbase, but in the mean time they want as little exposure about it as possible, it's fairly common in the industry.

Just what I personally think though :)

Deleting are they?

Seems a website didnt check properly. 

M$ confirm in the link above they are trying to find a problem. An actual M$ representative is talking to the forum members. 

Thats what you call a fantastic reaction.

 

EDIT: I was having some issues also. Just 2 mins ago, I recieved a notification on using MSN app, which said 9mb update. Installed i and now the video quality is perfect again.

Thanks for the fix to MSN M$.

Now just need 1 for Lovefilm.

:)

Haha, brilliant mate. :P

@selnor, thanks for app update info!



The Eurogamer report is fairly accurate. The deleting of feedback they are referencing is NOT from the Xbox.com forums. It is the private bug/feedback page available to beta testers via connect.microsoft.com.

http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/f/30/t/157004.aspx is not even a relevant thread. That thread is explicitly about video buffering issues for streaming content and has nothing to do with the Eurogamer article.



The funny part about this is ever since the update, Netflix has been working better for me. Before I would get constant buffering, and sometimes the show would just stop and I would have to load it again. Now it doesn't buffer at all, the video quality is better, wont stop playing, and loads much faster. Plus being able to use the entire navigation using Kinect is better. I like the new Netflix much more than the old, but I guess I'm just a minority.
