How the FUCK do you play videos on the Xbox?! I've downloaded the walking dead season 3 and put them on my external harddrive to watch on the Xbox...BUT I CAN'T. because THE XBOX DOESN'T RECOGNISE THE HARDDRIVE! Then they've given me an option to delete EVERYRHING on the harddrive by 'configuring' it.. There's gotta me an easier way to watch a fucking movie on an Cboc!!!

 HELP!!!!!!! argghghhhhh!!!

Try streaming it from a PC, I've heard of that for X360 and PS3. Or, maybe try copying them, a few episodes at a time, onto a USB flash stick.

Where da Xbox owners at?



Should have just got them on iTunes. Plug and play doens't work eh. *puzzled*



Let me guess. It's a NTFS formatted HDD ? Doesn't work. Only FAT32 (and maybe exFAT)

Also what video file types are they exactly ?

Oh yeah, THIS

All my stuff is formatted FAT32 and I have no problems with any of my devices. It's been my default for so long, I forgot to mention it. This should fix it.

Type of video is important as well, but from your description I think it's a file system issue.

Stream it from your PC. That's the best thing to do.
