I recently got a Linkstation Pro (LS-XHL) and decided to quickly try out the media streaming service that came with it. I believe the firmware that came with it was 1.24 or 1.26, i can't quite remember. Anyway, i booted up my Xbox 360, went to the video library section and saw the Linkstation device. I read in the manual that it should stream .avi, .wmv, and many others so i tryed most of them. All of them worked that the 360 allows except for the .avi's. I received some error saying that this media is not supported (Not sure the exact wording or error # atm) but it definitely should be (Note* Streaming the .avi's from my computer to my 360 works). I tryed updating the media server, restarting it, etc. I finally decided to upgrade the firmware to 1.33 and see if it better results, which it didn't. I was reading another thread (Here) that sounded like the problem im having but his final solution required downgrading firmware and formatting. Now is this a problem with the Media Server provided with the Linkstation? How can i fix this or is there a fix currently in the making? Any help would be appreciated. Like i said, i did my own searching and most solutions required old firmware and deleting everything.
