DivX support! :D
And thank god. Transcode 360 is so buggy with Vista.
Transcode kept stealing the focus on my Vista machine, every couple of seconds.
Looks like it may be time to retire the XBMC.
Hip Hip hurray
Massive update
YES!! Im actually excited for this now :D
May be time to leave the external hard drive permanantly hooked up to the xbox :)
Rollout starts 10am tomorrow!
Watch their servers go into meltdown at 10:01 :D
It is funny, knowing it will just keel over at 10:01 I know we are all still going to try if we are at home and able, lol
Its only a 7meg download, so its not like 10 million people trying to get the Halo 3 Beta
Erm... Divx & Xvid isnt supported through/for Windows mediacentre.
So I guess its still transcode

So what is the point of adding it then if you cant play a divx file from your computer?
What do you do, stick a disc with divx files and play off that or say your ipod as a file?
I should imagine it works over a normal network or off your massive HFS+ formatted HDD.

That is all right then, MS do need to take a leaf out of apple with frontrow, allias in movie folder on macbook pro linked to folder on hardrive all movies and tv shows playable in a nice interface, dvi to hdmi 40 inch lcd heroes season 2 ftw
I dont tthink it will work with HFS+, only FAT32.
I thought mpeg4 support would be a great addition but as far as I can see...
- It wont load files from CD or DVDs
- It wont load files I have copied to my ipod in disk mode
Maybe Im doing something wrong :?
Plays MP4s and Divx from my 40gb HFS+ Ext HDD
For those naughty people with banned consoles, or less naughty people without XBL, here is the update

Extract that file and burn the directory $systemupdate to the root of a cd or dvd.
Pop it in your 360 and reboot. - This doesnt include the media update. You need an xbl connection for that.
