Hello everyone! This would be my first post here on the xBox Media Center Community Forums.
First of all, my name is 2 Bunny (world famous) from many many other forums across the internet. I have come here to join in the xBox Media Center Community and hopefully learn some helpful tips for the xBox Media Center.
Anyway, my problem is that there is a MAJOR bug I found in the latest version of the xBox Media Center (the one you download from that "tech" site). What happens is, when you are watching any video from the internet (specifically MegaVideo, as all other video plugins for the xBox Media Center are now broke) it will randomly stop a little of the way in. A few members have decided to watch internet video as well with their xBox Media Centers a few years back, so I'm not the only one. It does the EXACT same thing as pressing the "STOP" button would do. Just out of the blue, the hard drive starts clicking, and you're back at the video list. Last night, I looked on the "Tech" site again, and I had been using a broke version. I upgraded to the latest stable build, and to my surprise, everything got restored all right. So I went to play a video, and this time I got through just under TEN minutes! I thought I had solved the problems of the universe! And then it stopped. The WORLD came to a SCREECHING HALT - that was the order of my emotions. If it helps, I have tried adjusting the cache to none and up a little bit, and none of these have had any effect whatsoever.
Thus I have arrived at some possible conclusions:
Conclusion A: The xBox Media Center is incabable of streaming videos from the internet/megavideo.
Conclusion B: My TV Shack Plugin is broken
Conclusion C: My controller or Remote is bad somehow
Some more helpful information in my troubleshooting experience:
I disabled screensaver - this did not help
I tried countless different videos - same thing happens
Most importantly: This NEVER happens when I am streaming movies from my SD Card in the upstairs computer.
My xBox is connected to the network via a crossover cable to my 802.11b enabled laptop. It works FLAWLESSLY for everything I throw at it (network stuff - Shoutcast, stuff from other computers, FTP), but not internet video. Apparently, nobody who uses the xBox Media Center uses internet video, but I do, and I would like to be able to watch a show for more than five minutes. I know its possible, the system is certainly capable of doing it!
Someone please help! This would be AMAZINGLY GREATLY appreciated.

PS: How do I identify which BIOS I have on my xBox? Do I just go to the info tab on the xBox Media Center?
