This is something that keeps bugging me. I love playing videos on my 360 since I hate watching them on the computer. The problem is that this seems to work only if your 360 is connected to the internet. Whenever I try to play a video when the console isn't connected it keeps giving me a message saying that I need to download the update that allows media to be played.

Can I only play videos when the 360 is connected or is there a way to avoid this?

I'll appreciate the help I can get.

 

You definitely can watch video's without being connected (my 360 is rarely connected, only when I want to buy a game), I do so by copying files to a usb drive and plugging the drive into the 360.  The update you mentioned downloads, but shouldn't ask again.

 

 

 

That's the thing. My burn my videos onto a DVD and only plays them when I'm connected to XBL. I also tried playing them off a memory card and it still wouldn't play them. It just kept saying that I needed the update that allowed videos to be played, even when I load my profile up.

So again, why is this happened if the update has already been downloaded onto the memory?

possibly the same problem people have with Arcade games... do you have a diffrent 360 from your original?
