Re: streaming divx

try refreshing your WMP11 media library (press F3 at the library) and ensure that those folders that contain the avi's are being monitored by WMP11.

Are the files .MPEG-4? as the 360 can read them just fine off a USB drive or CD/DVD but as standard you cant stream them from a PC using WMP11.
