Playing .avi files on 360

    Since having my console repaired from the red ring of death, I have to connect to xbox live every time I want to play a .avi to get the codec.

    Is there anyway to force the download from xbox live so that I don't have to do this?

    I think that they when they initially made .avi playback avaiable that you could do this...

    You could try putting the update on a flash drive and updating the xbox
    http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/console/systemupdates.htm

    Or if you have Windows Media Center you can stream the .avi's to the Xbox over your home network

    You can either create a new silver gamertag, then download the update and it will stay in it, or you can do a "licence transfer tool" and transfer over the licences for your old console to your new console.... (beware can only be done once a year if your thinkin of buying the slim!)

    Thanks for both replies, but should the update not be on the hard-drive?

    It should, but its a DRM issue your having unfortunately, not the actual content on the hardrive, if you have any previously purchased arcade games you will see that they dont play when offline either, they are listed as trials....

    oh - okay.

    I might hold off as I haven't decided on whether or not I will upgrade to the new console

    In that case create a silver account and download the update....
