It has been almost a year since I last played on my Xbox, and I want to start viewing some WMV files on it through Windows Home Server. When I tried to play a WMV file it says I need a media update. According to a few websites, I need to get an Xbox live silver or gold account and download the optional media update. I did just that and did a general system update. However, after that I was still unable to play my WMV files. How can I get my Xbox 360 to download this Optional Media Update? I'm trying to play some files from http://microsoftpdc.com/Videos which looks to me in HD content.

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.

I had to go to Game Marketplace -> Explore COntent -> All Games -> Browse All Games -> O -> Optional Media Update. From here I was able to download Optional Media Update as an addon and run my files. | |||

I just did this yesterday. When you try to play an unsupported video, it will prompt you asking if you want to download the optional media update. If you go through the menu screens, it will then download and install it. | |||||

Connect to live. Try to play a divx under video library from portable device (USB). It will give you an error code and then ask if you want to download the update and take you directly there. I did this with a modded xbox and did not get banned. Otherwise I never connect to live but this is the only way to get the optional media update | |||
