My 360 is banned. Before it was banned, I downloaded the media playback update, so I could watch avi's from cd's and streaming from my computer.
I made the mistake of installing the new dashboard (2.0.7371.0), which apparently has deleted my media playback update (I get the status code: 51-C00DF236 when trying to playback avi).
Obviously, I can't get the media playback update again - as my console is banned. Any ideas?!?!
Streaming the video shouldn't be a problem because it doesn't require a codec. The avi update was only for watching divx/xvid from external harddrives or other media, had nothing to do with streaming. Get the newest version of TVersity and try again.
The error message you are getting does mean you are trying to play a divx / xvid .avi file. As per my recent reply Here,

I'm pretty sure that doesn't work miketrev. I downloaded the media update on my 360 last year, then my 360 had to be replaced. When I attached my hard drive to the new console, I couldn't watch DivX encoded movies unless I was connected to Xbox Live (which obviously the OP can't do if he's banned). I had to delete the media update and download it again, then it worked, so it must be tied to the console with DRM in a similar way that XBLA games and most DLC are.
