WITHOUT MCE, or any other device!

I just tried it, had some problems getting it to work - but it DOES work! Very Happy




Files required

TVersity:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/download.tversity.com/Setup_0_9_8_2a.exe
TVersity Xbox 360 patch:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/download.tversity.com/Xbox360Patch_0_9_8_4.zip
FFdshow:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm
FLVSplitter:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=183318


If you use Windows Media Connect or Windows Media Player 11

If you already have Windows Media Connect or Windows Media Player 11 sharing your media, you will have to disable them. Goto the 360 and remove the PC from the System tab->Computers. Unistall Windows Media Connect and/or disable sharing in WMP 11.

Instructions

On your PC

    1) Install TVersity
    2) Make sure the TVersity service is stopped
    3) Overwrite the TVersity files with the 360 patch
    4) Install ffdshow and flvsplitter (extract to a useful folder e.g. C:\Windows\system32, use a command prompt to install: regsvr32 flvsplitter.ax)
    5) Goto: http://localhost:41952/
    6) Add the folder you would like to share under the sharing tab by using "Add folder" on the file menu. Change the device to "Xbox 360" in the settings tab.
    7) Reboot



You may also wish to delete the internet streams under "Library" by pressing the delete button. This adds too much to the 360 (about 1500 items! making it hard to find your files).

On the 360:


1) Goto the blue "Media" tab
2) Goto video - Computer
3) Connect to TVersity on XPC
4) You may need to go back and forward, to refresh list first time
5) Play a video!





Unofficial known issues

350mb AVIs work straight away, 700mb AVIs may require to load them twice on the 360 (it will say timed out or whatever), just try it again. I did not have to try twice, but just to be sure.

Important!
Some files will fail to work because the filename is too long - so try shortening it.
This also includes pathnames! My videos didn´t work at first, then i moved them to C:\vid, and renamed them to something short, and then it worked fine.

Quality is very well acceptable, it also depends of the quality of the video file ofcourse.
But most of all - it´s definately worth it, since it´s completely free. Just wait for next release, they´ve probably improved the transcoding by then.
