Can't Play X264 vids on Xbox?

I just tried to play an X264 video on my 360 and it didn't work. I got:

Status Code 69-c00d10e0

Unsupported playback (or something along those lines).

I tried to put the transcoder to "transcode always" (as I saw in another topic that that worked) but it didn't help. Still can't play the video.

I've played x264 videos before, so I'm not quite sure why its happening now. Any thoughts?

Nope.
Installed ffdshow and upgraded to 2.1
Still won't play x264 and now it won't let me fast forward the xvid video that I played YESTERDAY!

(Again this is playing from my Xbox360 through my PC.)

Install any codec pack (a free one like ffdshow or klite or buy one).
Upgrade to 2.1 (if you already using it simply install 2.1 on the top without uninstall

Update me with a result.

Disclaimer: in certain regions of the world, some codecs may require paying royaltis to the relevant patent holders.

if it happens with all videos or just some. Is it all videos or all AVIs or all X264?
if X264 is in MP4 or MKV? (for MP4 we send it as is to 360 and for MKV we transcode)
With regard to ffwd/rewind for XVID we do not transcode so it is up to 360. If previously you had the system set to "always transcode" then you may have had ffwd/rewind working (we convert the XVID to WMV).

The best setting is "transcode when needed" and the device set to auto-detect. Some users prefer to set it to "always transcode" (due to above issues) and instead of auto-detect they select the 360 from the list of devices. If you prefers it that way, that is fine.

try with ffmpeg to convert videos with x.264 to Xbox wmv files.

mencoder filename.xx -oac copy -ovc copy -o filename.wmv (xbox supports)

Or if you think the command line is a bit complicate, try with Handbrake.
