playing dvd's with mod chip?

can i ask how i can play dvd's on my xbox after i have installed a mod chip, i have an executer2 chip and evolutionx dashboard. when i place a dvd in the drive it reads it as "video" then when i hit "launch dvd" it goes to the loading screen, then back to the dashboard menu without playing the dvd.

 

Get DVDX and install it on your Xbox. It's a region-free DVD player and no need for the MS DVD Kit.

 

i've tryed to find dvd-x and i can't seem to find it anywhere, can anyone help?

 

Eurasia.nu has all the applications. Register first then go to the download section.

 

thank's for the link Hrdrk20, i got dvdx but i have problems with installing it to my xbox hard drive, first i extracted the file then transfered it with ftp to the apps folder on the xbox HD, but there is no sign of it when i use the launch menu on the dashboard, how can i install it, please help

 

if you already have transferred the "default.xbe" file for dvdx to your xbox there is no need to 'install' it as you would in a windows computer. All you have to do is edit the evox.ini file to point to that file in it's menu structure. There are a lot of guides out there on how to edit this file.

 

Thanks very much tyche7, i edited the evov.ini file and the program launched, Brilliant!!!

 

You can always get rid of EvoX and use a dash that has a built in DVD playback/controls.

 

Like the nice player in avalaunch.....which by the way can use the remote now. (about time)

 

The reason i asked about using dvdx, and the recently installed XBMC which works good also, is when i disable the mod chip and switch on the xbox i get an error page (16) can i use the xbox with the chip disabled, if so what do i do to the evox.ini settings?
they are as follows:
using EvolutionX
