Skype on Video Kinect on XBOX 360?

We use messenger and Xbox Kinect camera for video calls. Since Messenger was discontinued or whatever, is it possible to use Skype on Video Kinect?

Xbox One will feature a Skype app this November. More information here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/entertainment
A Skype application for the Xbox 360 has not been announced yet.

Playing videos through an xbox 360 or a tv?

Is there a way to play videos through an xbox 360? I know you can play music through it but I just wanted to know if there is a way to play videos also.
also, is there a way to play my iPod through my tv?
Thanks,
Sam

I am not too sure about an XBox 360.
Although you can play it through your TV, provided that you have the right cables needed.
Apple Store: iPod AV Cable
If you have this cable then on your iPod under Video Settings select Tv"Off" and change it to TV"On" this will output the single to your TV.

Getting xbox 360 video on to my MacBook

So I'm trying to find a way to get video from my xbox 360 on to my apple so I can edit it but i'm not sure how to. If anyone knows a way to do this I could really use the help. Thank you!

You'll need to use the Xbox's component video output, and get hold of a video converter unit such as the Pinnacle or Canopus. Make sure to check their compatibility with Leopard if that's what you have.

Skype and Xbox 360 kinect

Any plans on having Skype App for Xbox 360 with Kinect?

I'm extremely disappointed with this response. I've been a fan of windows for my entire life. I was even a microsoft developer for 12 years. However, Microsoft is dropping the ball and I'm finding it extremely difficult to continue my loyalty.
1. Windows 8 == failure (Vista all over)
2. Love the tablet but can't justify the cost (Bought Android which is equally as good for 1/2-1/3 the price)
3. Love the phone and xbox integration
4. Extremely pissed off that a multi billion dollar company can't answer a simple question and just leave everyone asking questions that go unanswered.
I may just end up buying sony and going android. I have no more loyalty and I have done nothing but stick up for you for years.

No sound on Skype video call using Xbox One

No sound on Skype video or audio call using Xbox One. The Wireless headset works but cannot route audio to Kinect only. I tried assigning the headset to another user but still nothing. Thoughts?

Hi Derek,
I'm having the same issue on the Xbox One too - no audio when connecting to contacts and contacts cannot hear me either (they can see me) when using the Xbox One app. This is not an issue on other Skype platforms.
In addition, when dialing the Skype test number on the Xbox One, I get the dialling tone when calling, but once the the call connects there is also no audio from the recorded message (usually a British lady).
The Skype app worked before the recent Xbox One firmware update and the same issue occurs on different TVs. It also does not work when headsets are being used.
I have deleted and redownloaded the app. In addition I've unlinked and linked my Microsoft account to my Skype and still no success.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Xbox 360 kinect

Im looking to buy xbox 360 kinect and I was wondering if there are any controls as I see this system runs on you being the control,so can anyone tell me if there are any controls so if I want to to relax and play a game lying down will I be able to do this,thanks.

Hey mduncan,
I know it can be a tough decision on which hard drive size to go for with the Xbox 360, especially with such a gap in the range. If you think your child will mainly just be playing games off the disc, you could probably go for the 4GB version because you really only have to worry about game save space. You can also upgrade to a larger hard drive at some point but transferring data from your old one can be a bit of a task and requires a special cable to be done properly from what I understand.
Having said that though, there are a plethora of reasons you may want to play it safe and opt for the 250GB version. Things like downloadable content, game demos, themes, etc. all take up a hefty amount of hard drive space (some game demos can take up 2GB in themselves). That's not to mention any multimedia files your child may want to store on their system such as music, pictures, and videos, which add up fast in terms of GB. Personally, I find game demos to be an excellent way to try out a game before making the decision to buy it so that could even save you some money in the long run.
I hope that helps with the decision making process!

Importing xbox 360 video clips into imovie 6.0.3sk

Hi, I have an xbox 360 that I would like to import some video clips off of onto my computer using imovie. I have a Powermac G4 with a dual 1.4 ghz cpu, 2 GB of RAM, and lots of HD disk space. I am using an ADS Pyro A/V link for capturing video. I have used this many times in imovie to capture video directly from a TV, VCR, DVD player, etc. For some reason when I hook up the cable from the xbox 360 to the Pyro (using either component connection or composite/RCA connection) and hit play in imovie to preview what's being converted, it can't process it. Sometimes it will show a bunch of pixelated squares, sometimes it won't show anything. Every once in a while it can process the sound, otherwise it doesn't show anything. After a few times, it says the pyro has been disconnected, although it obviously hasn't been. I've also tried directly importing without previewing it during the import, but that doesn't work either. I'm not sure if I need to set something a certain way? But I know you can import from the 360 because there are obviously many video clips floating around the internet taken straight from the xbox.
Anybody know anything about this or have any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Nevermind...I figured it out. There is a little button on the video cable that toggles HDTV on or off. Apparently it has to be off. So if anyone else has this problem, hopefully they can learn from my mistake.

Iphone 4 Video and Xbox 360 as my PC's Windows Media Center

I noticed that all video formats play perfectly over my Xbox 360 except for video shot with my iphone 4. It plays the video in slow motion while the audio is at regular speed. It's very annoying. Is their a fix for this or do I just need to convert the iphone 4 videos to h264 mp4, or regular mp4? Any quick fixes so I don't have to do the converting? When I play them on my HP they play just fine. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Xbox 360 not having an updated codec. Any ideas will be tried.
Thanks

I'm in the same Xbox 360 boat. I'm also amazed at the lack of information on this problem since the iPhone 4 has been out so long and the Xbox 360 received an update long after.
It has to be a codec issue since the Xbox 360 can play 1080p content. The iPhone 4 720p video can't be more intensive than 1080p.
While I'm at it why can't the Xbox 360 play iTunes Plus and iTunes Lossless audio, they're DRM free (I use Connect360 to get around the issue)? Seriously, Microsoft has to be doing it on purpose. Every attempt I've made to get this question answered has been met with a MS wall.

Streaming Video From My Macbook to my Xbox 360

I'm REALLY hoping someone can help.
I was a windows XP user, and got my first mac a few months ago, I could not be happier....
except I used to stream all my audio and video from my old laptop through my Xbox 360 to watch on my TV, and now I seem to have lost the ability to do this, can anybody help?
preferably with programmes that are free or at least very cheap if i need other programmes to do this, I'm still paying off the macbook! lol
thanks in advance for your help

I have been using Connect 360 from Nullriver. It works very well and is well worth the $20.

Replacing Apple TV with Xbox 360, Video Questions

I have had an ATV for a little over a year and thanks to Handbrake I now have an incredible Movie Library over 600 flicks ripped for ATV with the .m4v extension. This month I am getting an Xbox 360 and would like to use it in place of my ATV and move the ATV to another room. I have been doing my research and everything says I should use Connect 360 or Rivet to make contact between my iMac and Xbox 360. Though I have read that movies with the extension .m4v will not read. I have read on various sites that I could just change the extension to .mp4 or .avi and it will work fine. Though alot of the data out there on connect 360 and Xbox 360 streaming seems to be outdated and I can't tell what has been fixed by updates. so... my questions are,
1. Will my movies stream to xbox 360 via connect 360 in the .m4v format?
2.If no, can I just change the extension to .mp4 or .AVI? (I changed the extension from .MP4 to .m4v on some movies when I got the ATV due to some recognition issues in itunes last year and had no problem)
3. If I change the extensions will my ATV still be able to play these videos from elsewhere in the house?
4. Will it all just work flawlessly with no problems thanks to amazing updates from all parties?

I wanted a next gen game system. Part of the way I could convince my wife to let me get an xbox (Im whipped) was to offer to move the ATV to the bedroom so she could view our media in there. Since the Xbox has media center qualities I figured I would take atvantage of them. Now I trying to figure out the best way to get both working.

Sky video playout service isnt available xbox 360

I am having an issue with sky go on the Xbox 360 I can only view live tv when trying to play anything else I get the video playout error message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled app emptied the cache and formatted the memory could you please advise how to get this sorted please it's very frustrating.

Not sure if you are still looking. I have after about 3 months and ongoing discussions with Sky I have a fix for this! And since I never found it on this forum I 'll give this gem back. All you have to do is create a new user ID (you can have up to 10) in addition to your lead profile.Just register it as if you were creating a completely new account and sign in with this instead. You'll need your account number but this is on your original profiles homepage on my sky (if you're using sky go away from home like me) or just on your sky card in your box. Make sure you go through the whole process of verifying your email address and sign in with it on sky go on your laptop before you attempt with your console (took me a while to realise this) and it should work all fine!At least it did for me! Also just to clarify you will still have to use your old login for any bills, account management etc as the first one you create goes down as your lead profile.

How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

she only needs to do that if he needs to change the format. For example if she recorded the clips via her phone and it's not in a format iTunes will play. For example if I have a .wmv iTunes won't touch it until I convert it. She could also be talking about video that she recorded on a DVD camcorder that burns the video to a DVD not a memory card. ITunes doesn't convert everything.
She's transfered the clips to her ipad and the ipad won't play them. So she needs to get them to a m4v or mp4, and you use format converters for that. Not apps but something on the computer.

Playing videos of an ipod via xbox 360

i was just curious as to if you connect like a normal ipod video with your xbox and go to the media>video tab on the xbox dashboard, can you play videos from your ipod via the xbox 360???? that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes and then i could watch them on tv via xbox 360 connection. let me know

that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes
definitely NOT legit.
As to whether an xbox can handle this depends on what acessories you have. Apple and other companies make docks with A/V cables for playing video to TVs. If xbox can take those cables as inputs then it should work.

Completing Xbox 360 Video game Screenshots and Playing

Can someone point in the direction of how I can connect my MacBook to my Xbox 360/Televison in order make screenshots from my Xbox 360 video game playing. I will not be playing Xbox 360 video games on my computer but is there a way to complete screenshots?

I found these two videos and was thinking about getting the Slingbox to accomplish this task; has anyone else done this procedure.
I did download Connect360 but it seems to work only one way; allowing items on my MacBook to be played through the Xbox 360 (but not the reverse).
