im starting to think it's the disks that are faulty from what your saying... do u have any other brands of disk to test out? ... cause if u tested other brand disk and they DONT have that problem then it's most likely the disk that are bad (or atleast your xbox dont like them)

p.s. i would recommend you stream em from the pc into the xbox... as this will save your xbox disk space along with less wear on your xbox's dvd-rom drive

yes thank ,but wy the disk still work ok on other xbox????????by the way they used to play ok on my too!!!

well if they work on another xbox that has the same dvd-rom drive as yours and your both using same version of XBMC im wondering if it's a drive related thing. hard to tell i guess but try this...

Get the newest official build of XBMC. which is 3-4-05 ... then completely delete the old xbmc (the one u currently using) on the xbox... and delete the save game file for the XBMC program (u can delete it through the msdash) ... then transfer in this new version and see what happends... does it still mess up?

If I were you, I would FTP all my sh*t to my XBOX and watch it VIA XBMC, I havent used my drive in ages!

Try this:

Open your xboxmediacenter.xml file and where you see

<path>D:\</path>

Change it to

<path>iso9660://</path>

(you can just use a find/replace for this).

I've found that XBMC prefers this for playback as it doesn't always autodetect too well. The newer version actually has an option so that it detects ISO9660 by default but it truncates the filename (8.3 format) which isn't much use when you have a DVD full of episodes!
