Is there any media streamer out there than can play .avi's through scart?

Care to explain a bit more please........
I ask that since my desktop pc is connected to my crt tv via s-video (out) to scart (in) and i can use it as a pc desktop, or to watch streaming tv, films etc or have i got the wrong end of the stick as usual

Get an old Xbox and load XBMC onto it or even use a 360 if you only want to play AVIs

Looking for something a little more compact.

A good idea tho, but just a little to big.

Need something easy like a western digital media streamer thing, except just for .avi

Cheap , small and not power hungry. ( For a little kid's room)

what about an ipod video gen5?

thats what i used to use? just video out straight to tv or even from ipod dock?!

Yeah you can, you'd need to buy an Xbox to USB cable though, that or make your own.

A lot of dvd players now have this feature.

Think i might go for the old xbox. The reviews on that sata are saying the video quality is quite poor.

Take it i can pick up one of those "xbox to usb" cables on ebay?

Thanks for the help :thumbsup:

The films you have are probably divx.

Yeah you can get cheap DVD players that will play AVI files from disc or a USB stick/HDD.

I think Aldi does one for not very much at all.
