Have XBox.com's streaming videos ever worked for you?

[wweomaniac]

I've been trying to watch this video from xbox.com, and it never seems to work.

http://www.xbox.com/xboxtv/default.asp?countrycode=us&bandwidth=hi&video=/cms/asx/news/XBox-Advantage-0001.asx

It's the "Xbox Advantage Video" and it's new. I can't say that a video has ever worked for me at xbox.com. It always starts, but freezes and sometimes I can get sound. Other times, it's just black.


Just wanna know if I'm the only one having problems with the videos...

click here and tell me if the video works for you:

i guesss its kinda informative if you know absolutly nothing about the xbox

by the way, xbox.com is down right now so that may be why you are having problems.

I've never had problems with the videos. Are you watching over broadband or a modem ? I can't imagine even trying over a modem. Also, maybe your PC just can't handle it or needs a video driver update.

What version of Windows Media Player is everyone using? I'm using the latest one.

It works fine for me. You might need to download a new video playing prgogram loike quicktime or wmp etc or else you need to download new plugins. XBOX.COM always works fine for me.

Xbox.com sucks. The navigation is awful. Like if you want to look at pictures of a game you have to do it one at a time. You think Microsoft of all organizations could put together a better web site.

They will listen to our feedback if we bother to tell them. I remember when they only used to post info on a few games. I emailed them and biatched them out that they should post info about ALL the games and lo and behold, shortly thereafter, they did.

streaming video from that site always works! Try upgrading your media player off of www.microsoft.com

I cant see the video at home, but I can hear the sound, its b/c I have slow dail up. But at my school on their T1 I get both perfectley :)

[lllSmokelll]

[Snoopy7548]

ever since like a few weeks ago, my streaming video has sucked. like it takes 5 minutes just to load the movie. but after that its fine, but its really annoying.:mad:

[wweomaniac]
