Hi guys!

I use Vista MCE through my xbox360 to watch movies. However I can't play
DIVX or XVID files. On my old XP machine, I used Zune player as an extender
and it played all video files fine.

I have downloaded all the latest codec's etc.

One very relevant point is that I am using "my movies" to watch my video's

WMV files play fine

Thanks for the help

JaYMeZ

DIVX or XVID files will not play on the extender in Media Center UI, but DIVX
and XVID files will play on the Xbox360 blade.

Thanks for the response Richard. What do you mean by version 2 extenders?
