Re: Vista Ultimate and XBox 360

Copy/paste error on the second item; I meant to say: If you check the
Application, System, Media Center, and Security Event Viewer logs (right
click My Computer --> Manage), are there any errors corresponding to the
time that you tried to play TV?

A few questions related to your situation:
- When you say "my movies" are you referring to movies that you recorded
off of your TV feed or ... ?
- Did you check the Application, System, Media Center, and Security Event
Viewer logs? (or just the Media Center log?)
- If you temporarily connect your PC directly to your Xbox 360 using an
Ethernet cable (eliminating your router), does this behavior still occur?
- Does WMV video content play without issue?
- Is this a clean install of Windows Vista, an upgrade on top of Windows
XP, or an upgrade on top of a Windows Vista beta/RC?
- Have you installed any Windows language packs?

This has shown up in the Xbox360 forum as well. Folks like me, who had
everything work perfectly with XP MCE, get the same error message you get
now with a new fresh install of Vista Ultimate. I don't think MS has a
fix
yet...

In other words, my movies play fine on the PC, but I get the same "Files
needed to display video are not installed or not working. Please restart
Windows Media Centre or restart the computer" when I try to play them on
the Xbox.

Same movies worked fine for me in XP 2005 MCE...



Hi

Media Center in Vista Ultimate records TV in dvr-ms without problems.
The
playback on the PC is superb.

I have an Xbox 360 which I have linked to the PC using Media Center on
the
XBox. Pictures and Music work well but when I try to view recorded TV I
get
an error "Files needed to display video are not installed or not
working.
Please restart Windows Media Centre or restart the computer". Please can
you advise what is casuing this problem and how I fix it. I have
installed an
extender within Media Center without problems.

I have had two long, expensive and fruitless calls to Xbox support who
can
only tell me that dvr-ms is not supported. I don't understand. I have
posted
on the partner Vista forum and they have asked me to post here instead.

I am trying to deliver a solution to a customer and deadlines are
looming.

Many thanks

Rob
