I wonder why they stopped using the feedback center for bug reports. Seems like a much better reporting tool than posting in the forums.

It was working for me when I tried it on monday.
Website works but videos dont play when you click them on my 360.

Youporn works fine on my 360 but I prefer Beeg. Game trailers doesn't work for me as well.
Mobile Formatting and safe search are the only options I have enabled. No idea why it isn't working for you.

Hey, anyone else noticed the external HD-DVD no longer works with this update? Or was it past updates this happen?
WTF!!!!! No fucking way, i still have one with lots of hddvds and its my only way of playing them. Thats fucked up if they removed support.
I just checked mine with Transformers and its fine, what disk were you using?

Finding Nemo. Guess its my HD-DVD drive then. No big loss. I only hooked it up on a lark.
Check the USB connection on both sides, if the green light on the eject button is not lit up, then the Xbox can see the drive

Back them up ASAP, many HD-DVD's are faulty out of the shrink wrap or suffer from degradation, Warner releases are the biggest culprit. Do a search and you will find quite a few threads from early 2011 outlining this issue.
This has been documented on AVS amongst other places. Warner was doing a free swap to BD for affected titles but that was US only and is probably expired.
Because of this I have been busily converting a 200+ HD-DVD library to MKV and most of my Warner collection can't be read by the 360 drive or LG PC drive.
The MKV's look and sound great btw..

If the light on the HD-DVD isn't on, it's worth trying unplugging other USB devices. I have 2 memory sticks plugged into my 360 (one for my saves and one for my GF's) and often the HD-DVD drive doesn't work until I start unplugging stuff.
Has any stealth features shown up yet? I just found out today that the dashboard has had native .WTV support since last December. Why the hell am I only finding out about this nearly a year after the fact!!?!
I'm always on the lookout for decent ways to be able to play my video files with 5.1 support without having to deal with WMV or DIVX, and this may be a usable answer. Gonna have to test it out when I get home from work.

I got it too, and so far it seems to have solved my random XBL disconnects.

Man, they really need to add notes. How are we supposed to tests whats been changed if they dont mention it. God damnit. Its so complicated with them.
edit: Oh and try to log into xbox.com to enter bugs and it tells me "something went wrong"...so much for entering bugs. The site isnt even working. Perfect.

So don't know if it has been mentioned yet but Xbox videos now offer CC (subtitles), which is fantastic. About time!

Couldn't think of a more appropriate thread for this (if someone can point me towards one, I'll repost this).
I was prompted to download an update for the LoveFilm App last night, and they've made some significant changes.
I've come across tons of stuff that I would never have known was on there without previously having to do a search and hope for the best.
Awesome stuff!

- TV and Film both have their own sections now. Before they were all lumped in together.
- Sections now show more than 100 items, and to help out they've added filters. For example, before the Comedy section would only show the first 100 films/TV shows, but now it shows over 600!
- When watching something, pressing the Info button on the remote or selecting Info on the pop-up menu, now shows not only the length/position/time remaining, but also a transparent image of the boxart/poster and the tiny amount of synopsis.

Summery of the week for me, auto login was working about 50% of the time but now I think it's fixed with the latest update, some game images are failing to load from xbox live but I blame the internet for that, not the update.
Pins are working beautiful for me and I love them, I have about 15 of my most used / favourate games there for easy access.
About to try the full version of happy wars i'm excited if online finally works now.

They have always been November but this beta really has felt like a beta, updates quite frequently, lots of tweaks.
Wouldn't surprise me if it slipped to early December.

I still get random disconnects from XBL. Though, now it's actually worse. I get disconnected 5 secs after I connect.

It won't stop bothering you till you finish it.
Yeah it's just increased account protection for your Microsoft account.
Are you using VPN? I have observed some huge relation between using VPN and getting disconnected, but if you aren't then you should probably file beta feedback.
AndyMoogle
Member
Nope, I'm not using VPN.
I've made a couple of posts on the XBL Beta forums, and others are having the same problem as well. These disconnects have been happening for weeks now for me, and they still haven't been able to fix it.

I had disconnects in the beta when using wifi. Switching to Ethernet solved it for me.
Not sure where else to post this, but I'm having a problem with the "Rewards" program on Xbox. I try and go to the site (I'm already a rewards member) to unlock the Gamerscore related stuff, but for some reason it says I need Gold, which I bought and activated several days ago.
I tried using a different browser, re-login, clear cache, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

I don't mean to sound rude, but you'd probably do better in a thread about Xbox Rewards or if you posted this on the official Xbox forums.

Does full screen button on Dailymotion videos not work or is it only me?
No that's understandable.

I have railed against the ads, but those aren't really ads in a traditional sense.
Funny thing I've noticed is some sounds issues regarding my 360. I tried switching HDMI cable and different HDMI entrances, same problem. Can't really describe the sounds but it's like a ittle buzz. Since I use an optical cable for Headphones it's not a problem since this only happen with the Sound of the TV but it must be my 360 cause it does not happen with the PS3.
Also, since the last update I do not get disconnected at the Start but on the other hand it seems taking a little more time to load up the menu.

You should check if rating collection sounds are on. I had this little buzz too and that option was switched on again after an update.

No. Its not referring to the upcoming PPV. You can view a free (old) fight in the app.
yeah auto login was being a pain there for a while for me as well.
i like pins, but i feel spoiled by having my game library cached. having pins being hosted online makes them feel slow in comparison. i dont really give a crap about having my pins available on some other xbox. i just want them to be fast, and they dont feel fast.
BruiserBear

I agree. The pins feel too slow. I wish they could cache them as well, and then update them as needed.

Just got prompted to accept a new TOS agreement. Now after I accept it, I get stuck with a loading circle. I can't browse the dashboard!
Edit: Had to reset twice and I finally got through.
