unable to play 720p movies on XBOX 360
« on: March 08, 2010, 11:54:33 AM »
So last week I was able to play 720p movies no problem off my NAS (DNS-323) on my XBOX 360.  Everything is wired through my DIR-655.  I tried to run the same movie over the weekend and it was very choppy.  I tried all my 720p movies and the results were the same.  The rest of my movie collection in SD played no problem.

1)  playing movie off of DNS-323 on XBOX 360 = choppy
2)  playing the same movie off of laptop (wired & wireless N) on XBOX 360 = choppy

at this point I'm thinking the router is messed...  over the last week I had upgraded the firmware to the latest, 1.33NA and set up a RAID 1 on my DNS-323.  However my next test threw that thought out the door.

3) playing the same movie off of DNS-323 on laptop = PERFECT!

I'm very confused.  The only similarity between both cases that don't work is the XBOX 360.  There hasn't been any updates lately and like I mentioned before, I used to play these movies no problem.

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, please share.  I'm not sure what else to try.

Thanks in advance!

Its the switch in the DIR. 

I have IP-TV running through my network and was having some trouble with it when it was first installed.  I first suspected the 2Wire router (10-100), then everything else and eventually found that the switch in the DIR was not up to the job.
 
I picked up a couple of DGS-1005D switches and don't use the DIR for switching anymore. Use one cat5 cable from the DIR to the switch and let the switch do the work.
 
Now I can watch IPTV, stream from my DNS232's to my O'play and my wife can watch streaming video on her pc with no problems.

Is the XBox connected wireless?

so I got HD content to play on the XBOX 360 by using Windows Media Center.  I don't like it because it's slow and I have to have my computer on at all times.  So now I'm streaming video from the NAS to the computer back to the XBOX.  I'd rather use the "video library" on the XBOX dashboard to watch my videos.  The same videos I can play on the xbox using windows media center are choppy when played through the XBOX video library.  FAIL!
