|
 |
I just hooked up my 360 via the WLAN adaptor and i can see all my content on for example my D: drive via Windows Media Center. But as soon as I hit play on a film the whole application freezes up. Do i need to open some ports on the router for this to work or?. Or is it some other reason...All the films that I try to play works on my PC when I try to play them in WMC...any ideas?

Its not the ports thats for sure as I can play the sample vids from VISTA no prob. Its something else that makes the films to freeze. I tried AVI and Xvid so far and its always freezeing as soon as I hit play. I can see pics and what have you from my hard drives on the PC...just freezes when I click a film.

You need a transcoder to convert the films to a playable format for the 360 in realtime. You could use TVersity (Google it, first hit is it). Or wait a few days for DivX and XviD support.

I used TVersity for almost two years ago (1½ atleast), and even then it worked considerably good.
What it does it convert your divx/xvids on-the-fly to wmv while you stream it to the 360 (since it only plays wmvs). And shows up in the dashboard as a standard internet-stream.
My guess is that it has come a long way since then since i just tried it out.

you gotta wait for the new release to be able to play most of the avis. currenlty the 360 doesn't support a bunch of codecs most shit is ripped in.
tversity will do that. it's fairly decent and does the job.
just wait for the new update and you'll have your divx/xvid.

Cheers Mortibus I will look in to that 
But for the time being I am having some serious probs with TVersity.
I can get the connection with my PC going etc. I also could see my files when sharing Media Player ect. But as you are supposed to turn sharing off for MP when using TVersity I did that. And now I only get this
Its in German and says
-Lan Adaptor=Wireless (USB)
- Wireless Network =Connected
-IP Address=Confirmed
-Selected PC=Connected
-PC Connection= ERROR!!!!!
That last point is my prob, WTF, It won't find TVversity or even my PC now. It did when I was sharing in Media Player 11...
Need some hard advice from some veteran TVersity users here...pronto please 
PS, Opened all firewall ports etc, at least from what i gathered reading the FAQ on TVersity's homepage.
Cheers guys
EDIT!: Another question here...
As my Xbox was Soft modded when I bought it (did not do it myself) If I run the Update, will the soft mod still work?, or do I need to do it myself to be able to play Dled games etc.
If so please post some links or a tut as to what to do here. Never really tinkered much with the 360 until now...sort a left that to my son
Again Cheers!
