I could use a hand. Have an old xbox… Tried to play m4v on a flash drive. Works on the new one no problem. So I hauled the old xbox upstairs to update it. Once I downloaded my live account, I was able to download the optional media update… and it played perfectly. Took the xbox back downstairs… Nothing. Need to install update it tells me.
