Good news everybody! Preliminary testing shows that the current version of Rivet works with the New Xbox Experience (NXE) update that came out this morning. All of the files I’ve attempted to play so far, play correctly. I haven’t tried every file type yet, but I’ve done all the ones you guys are most likely to be using.
I did have one small hiccup though that I want to give a heads up on. You have to redownload the media pack again to play some file types. I ran into this the first time I tried to play an xvid file. Fortunately, Microsoft made it really painless. The first time you try to play one, it present an error dialog saying the the update is needed and gives you a prompt to download it from Xbox Live. The screen will say you’ve already downloaded it. Just download to your hard drive again and your good to go. The Xbox will take care of everything else when you try to play the video again.
I have a feeling a couple features that we’ve gotten many requests one might have support now too. I’m not going to say what they are yet to not get people’s hopes up on specific items until I know more. I’m going to be exploring the possibilities and hopefully we’ll be able to add a couple cool new things.
