KaosEngineer Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Which video encoding format and resolution is the MP4 file in? Most 720p files you find today are H.264 encoded videos that the ogXbox does not have enough horsepower to decode. And, it definitely won't play 1080p resolution videos. Video output of the ogXbox is limited to a maximum of 1080i. For the Xbox to play videos, the files need to be encoded in MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 H.263, not H.264, formats (e.g, DivX or XviD) at 720p or lower resolutions. Take a look at the following lambdan.se blog entry - Converting Videos for Use with XBMC on Xbox and XBMC4Xbox.org.uk's wiki entry - Xbox supported video formats and resolutions. Edit: XBMC4Xbox's wiki page - https://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/wiki/Video_Players - describes the differences between the the two players: DVDPlayer and MPlayer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
