fbBuild 12611 successful, no video when playing avi files

[techisgood148]

I upgraded my Xenon from freeBoot 0.32/9199 to the fbBuild kinect/12611 dash (not "early," all files recent and from "the usual place," never connected to LIVE, etc.) and everything seems to work fine except for playing videos.  I am using the same hard drive with my "Yaris swapped" optional media update on it, and, attempting to play videos from a usb hard drive, both of which worked fine (changed nothing) before flashing.  Now, when attempting to play a video, after hitting play, the screen goes black and controller is unresponsive, though you can hear the audio portion of the video playing.  You can't stop it from playing, but if you play a short enough one and wait, once it ends, screen and control return to normal.

I've rebuilt/reflashed my freeboot image a few times, always using freshly extracted original to this console files, flash dump verifies every time, redid the yaris swap on a fresh copy of my own backed up/untouched media update (same outcome) but can't think of anything else to try. 

If this is something obvious please let me know, but I couldn't find anything similar here, only this on x/s:

Thanks!

I just tested that on a legitimate/original/live console and it happens the same way as happened with yours.  

When the HDD was removed (no avatar data) there were no video, just sound.  
Once the video finished the thing got "unstuck" and I could retry or cancel.

Then I tested to take an USB drive and install avatar data to it. Once that was done, video played properly.

(edit: I have the optional media update file installed on the 64MB MU I use to keep my profile in)

Thank you for testing -
too funny, I was holding off on adding the avatar data until I was sure everything was working 
I just added the data and of course video is now working fine, thanks again!!
(no chance there's a new exploitable bug here, is there?)

stupid question, how do you add the avatar data. Having the same problem and seeking a solution.

Use the official update as if you were updating the console.
