Hello, When I tried to play a converted file, my XB360, gave the message "a media update is required to play this content". I logged into my Live acct, downloaded the update & the video played fine. Today when I tried to watch another video, it gave the same message again. When I signed into my Live acct, I was able to play the video with no problems.
I read another message (from another board) that said this having a Live acct was a necessity. Is this still the case?
Thanks

You have to have an Xbox account to download the additional codecs, but you don't need to be signed in to play videos afterwards.
I can't remember when my Xbox was last logged into Xbox Live. It's probably behind by several updates, but it still plays videos just fine.

Ok I figured out the problem. I have multiple Xbox's & used the same Live acct to download the codec on my original that I tried with the one with issues. I created a new acct & was able to download & watch the video without having to be signed in
