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.

 

 

It's tied to the profile, as well.  I have two profiles on my 360 and only the one that was used to download the CODEC(s) can use it.  I don't know why MS does this or why the CODEC(s) weren't incorporated into NXE.

 

 

Thanks.  I will have to check that out.  How unfortunate.

The Community Games cannot be played uness you are logged into LIVE, which means I won't be buying anymore Community Games until they remove this ridiculous restriction.
