Removing codecs in Vista? - Page 2

That sounds like the sort of thing I'm getting.

Boot PC, start xbox, it doesn't find the computer. Stop and restart the service, still doesn't find it.

Delete the connection from the xbox, still doesn't see the computer. Stop and restart the service and *bingo* there it is.

I get that sometimes - best way to sort it I've found is to get to select search for another connection on the xbox, wait until it says no computer found, leave it at that screen and then restart the service, it'll find it no problem.

That doesn't happen if you're hosting on XP, apparently it's something to do with UAC that they cant work around yet, and it does go away if you disable it.

I've got UAC disabled and the way you've described is _exactly_ how I worked out to fix it!

I was wondering this morning whether having a static IP on the PC will make any difference, but I was driving to work as I thought of it so there wasn't much I could do to try it.

Na, doesn't really matter, it's all UPNP broadcast traffic. Only way to get around it really is to leave the rig on all the time. In XP I could work around it - so long as I turned the PC on first the 360 would always see it - but that hasn't worked in Vista.

Being honest, if they do add Xvid support in the next dash I'd probably leave TVersity for a while and see how I got on with WMP.

I set up TVersity the other day after seeing this thread and got it all up and running fine

Seems to do a pretty good job overall. Only thing I can't do is skip forward/backwards in a Divx.

It wont let you do that until it's completed converting it. Or at least it shouldnt, cant say I've ever really tried it.

Desmo · 05-09-2007, 11:20

But if it's converting on the fly, that means you can never really skip? Unless it saves a new file somewhere I'm unaware of.

Feek · 05-09-2007, 11:25

It does set up some cache space, I think if your processor is fast enough it's effectively caching faster than it can stream.

Desmo · 05-09-2007, 11:55

I think I might increase the cache size quite a bit whilst I'm fiddling, see if it makes any difference.

Daz · 05-09-2007, 12:07

It converts the files and then only deletes them if it needs the space. If it's pulling a video from cache you can skip around (the folder is somewhere under the TVersity directory, it's fairly obvious (cache, temp or something like that). Default size is quite large, about 8GB
