A Quick XBox 360 streaming media question - Page 2

have you opened the ports on your router?

Shouldn't need to do owt on the router for TVersity

A common one is a firewall blocking the port - quick check is turn it off and give it a whirl.

When it was running it over wireless I used to come across some odd connection issues though - you wired or wireless dude?

when I tried it I had to unblock the ports on my router to get the xbox to connect to the PC, so just thought I'd suggest him to check.

That's odd. The traffic between the Xbox and PC is all local, it should never hit the gateway.

I was wireless which might make a difference. I dunno I just unblocked the ports and tversity worked. Connect360 though worked fine with no changes or anything needed.

I'm wired on both

Shouldn't do, it'll all be on the same side of the gateway. Ah well, whatever works

Been playing with Media Center on my main PC d/l'd and installed ffdshow.
Can get a film to play in Media Player but try the same film in Media Center and it says I don't have the appropriate codec installed

This is being a tad annoying.

Although it's probably just me being thick.

If it'll play in Media Player then forget Media Center. Just make sure it's in your Media Players library, and connect the xbox to it (Media blade > Video > press 'x' to select source (should see the PC here))

Well tried that Daz and MP on the PC see's the XBox for sharing then promptly turns sharing off again as soon as I ok the choices.
Also the XBox has stopped seeing the PC completely even in Media Center where it used to see it just not play anything.
I'll give up with this I think as I'm obviously not meant to get it working and it's just annoying me now.

Thanks for the help though
