I've linked my 360 to PC with windows media center but it won't play avis.
Any solutions?
Also I've not got media center remote control so how do I pause play etc with 360 control pad?

Wouldn't bother too much with using WMP11, it's a picky bastard at the best of times - plenty of 3rd party solutions out there.

Your pad works the same way, use A to pause/play, Y to bring up the onscreen menu, buffer buttons to skip back and forth.

If you have a DLNA certified media drive that'd be a much easier option. Avi files should play fine with the MP4 update - very few of mine refused to play. If in doubt chuck them on a pen drive and try them out that way.

I linked the xbox to PC so i didn't have to burn DVDs or use memory stick.

Seems to be working fine now.

I guess your PC makes far less noise than mine does

I have mine in a cabinet which has a heat-regulated fan in the back. I keep my PS3 in there too, and the PS3 makes far more noise than the 360 seems to - that said I almost always run games from the HDD to keep the noise down.

My PC on the other hand is right next to the sofa so all I can hear is the "ultra quiet" PSU running while I'm downloading. That's why I bought the LinkStation to run media from so that I could minimise the disruption. Next step will be to get a Kiss DVD/Media player for the bedroom once I have some cash.
