streaming through pc

[Mike.]

so i got wmp 11 and got the 360 sharing thing checked. i can stream my songs by putting them into shareddocuments/sharedmusic but i cant stream movies. what file format do they have to be in? and where do i put the videos? into shared videos? cuz it doesnt show up on my 360

[Krayzie]

I think they have to be in .WMV format.

i put it in wmv, but an error pops up when i click it on my xbox

[Krayzie]

Sorry mate I don't know.

[Mike.]

it says the media may not be supported. are you sure its wmv? i try avi and doesnt show up and wma doesnt show up. what do i do?.. all i did was changed the file name from .avi to .wmv. i should probably convert it. when i changed it from avi to wmv, it works on my computer

[Mike.]

i still cant stream videos. i downloaded the zune program. now where do i put my movies this way my 360 can see them

[Pdog1]

Your 360 should be able to find them anywhere on your computer, mine does. Just make sure they are in WMV and you should be fine, if not, I dunno...

I had this same problem, never did figure it out so I gave up.

has anyone used tversity? people told me to use that because you dont need to convert them to wmv, it supposivly does it while you watch it or something. i cant get it to work though

[Mike.]

can ijust copy movies to my hdd?

[TBGixxer]

Make sure it's wmv and it's in a folder that Zune has set up to stream.

[Mike.]

i deleted zune, just going to use wmp 11

[TBGixxer]

Let me know how that works. I set up Zune and it was easy to do and it works.

[Mike.]

ya the movie worked, i had to convert it to wmv and put it into myshareddoucments/shared videos... i want to know how to get tversity to work since it takes so long to convert from avi to wmv. tversity is supposed to convert while you watch it or something.

Thread reborn. I just read in the 03/2007 OXM that you can only stream video if you have a media center PC. A regular XP can only stream pics/music. If you're streaming video do you have a media center pc or just xp? I have an XP sp2 from 2002 (I don't think media center existed then?) and I can stream fine...
