Streaming software

[Tsuwamono]

I normally stream movies/music/pictures to my Xbox 360 from my PC over my network however TVersity wont run its media server application even when i click on it to start manually and windows media center, well what did I expect with that. *rolls eyes*

Windows media center somehow doesnt detect the xbox even though all of it is properly connected. Not sure what the issue is there but honestly don't care.

I'm looking for an idea of streaming software, i googled but all it came up with was web based stuff to make my own youtube site or something.

What do you use?

I think it works for the 360 also.

Nope, doesnt work. I just installed it and tried it.

Update: Got Tversity working finally. turns out it conflicts with utorrent, hamachi and just about anything else network based... retarded software.

Run the PC connection test to see if there are any issues.

It sounds like you should get your network issue sorted out first. If windows media center isn't working with the xbox then there is something going on network related.

Download wireshark and look at the traffic going on inside the network . It can really help pinpoint issues,.

win7 media center is the best there is man. smokes anything on apple and definitely smokes tivo. extremely flexible and pc's are cheap. esp oem's with slic2.1 - finding a neat box to put them in is cheap too (antec micro fusion). it baffles me that someone can spend $200 on a complete htpc (win7 based) using good used/refurb parts versus crippled systems that can play specific codecs and that is all.

if you need to utorrent on the same machine - i'd suggest running that stuff in a VM to avoid the inherent networking limitations of non-server versions of windows.

.. This isn't an HTPC.. its a PC. With a monitor, keyboard, mouse, real case, etc. I game on it, download on it, surf the web on it and watch porn on it.

my 360 is my "HTPC" And windows media player not detecting the 360 is a common problem by the way, therefore its not very good.

I didn't spend 200$ on my PC either, I spent about 600$ including everything.

Not network related, my network works fine. Tversity just proved it. The problem with Tversity was that utorrent was using UPNP network mapping or something and thats what was causing the media server to keep crashing.

Try tweaking with the PS3 Media Server again and do a hard rest on your router, PC, and XBox 360...

That UPnP software works with MACs, PS3, all media players and Xbox 360. I have it and it works with all of them...:thumbsup:

If your network was working correctly the xbox would have no problem connecting with media center. I run into people all the time that keep changing settings randomly trying this or that when 10 minutes with wireshark would tell them what is wrong.
