Re: external hard drive for movies

I use a networked xbox1 running XBMC to playback files off my pc, connected with optical and component. Before that I was using pc software for playback and connecting VGA and l/r audio. No comparison at all, XBMC all the way. It will playback pretty much anything, can upsample to 720p, 1080i. I have my xbox in my HT room and a network cable running to the pc in another room. You don't need a chipped xbox to do this, I installed XBMC using a software exploit.
