Hi guys,

My family is going on a vacation next week, and there is a Xbox360 at the cabin we're staying - I am wondering if I can play movie on this Xbox360.

I heard Xbox needs to be hacked to play movies, but I need someone to confirm this.

Can I play movie on my USB with Genuine Xbox 360? If I can, what extension should it be?
The one I have is 720p MKV file, but I will convert to other format to play it (maybe to AVI?).

Thank you!

They'll have to be burnt into the film fragment.
External subs aren't supported (as far as I know)

I think you've got more luck with pairing it to your Media center laptop/pc.

I don't have a cable to connect my Macbook to TV...
Can you confirm me if WMV extension works with the genuine Xbox360? :)
If you can provide me a list of other supported extensions, it would be so much appreciated!

1 more question, should the USB formatted as FAT32 or NTFS? The movie file exceeds 4gb....

Or you could connect your laptop wirelessly with the 360, and have the 360 play them that way. Plays loads more formats this way (provided your laptop plays them), thats how I stream them. Still a no go as far as subtitles are concerned though I believe.

AVI and WMV are the only ones.
360 only supports FAT32.

As like nando said, it's indeed better to get a HDMI cable for your laptop then.
Considering it's an Apple product as well, they don't mix quite well with Microsoft related things.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
