can a hacked xbox function as a media center extender?

[zixxer]

is there a program or something that can do this? my xbox is hacked (to play ollld roms) but I've setup a MCE box, and would like to somehow 'stream' stuff to my living room from the office

check out a site called XBox Scene...

By default, no, it cannot do it. But I know there is homebrew software that will let you do this.

QFT! Throw in a 200GB HDD and install TVTAD on a computer. Who needs TIVO?

Yeah you can stream with XBMC, you have to set up some software on your mce box to serve it to the xbox, and there are at least a few choices of applications for that. I don't know them off hand, but as the other poster said, there is a ton of information on the subject at xboxscene.

i must be retarded. I've seen all the streaming avi and pic stuff... but not media center related streaming.


i may end up just buying the media center extender

dont need to stream. just setup a filesharing folder on the PC and play the files from the xbox with XBMC.

yeah i get that, but mce doesn't put things in folders like that
