Re: [360] Network 360 with regular XP

Yes, this works with media center and non-media center pc's. I've been streaming videos from my XP Home desktop in this manner for at least two years now. Your welcome

One time a person asked where the F button was on their keyboard. I told them they would find it next to the U button.

I have streamed files with regualr windows xp pro and it works fine . Just download windows media player 11 at »www.microsoft.com/windows/window···ult.aspx

and instructions on how to set it up are at »www.microsoft.com/windows/window···tep.aspx

Hope I helped , also it should work the same with xp home as well

Thanks guys...works great!

You get the video but without sound right? Will the sound come through on the TV speakers?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but when I play stream video from my pc to the 360, it's the plays the video and sound into the same system that my 360 is hooked up, which is directly into the tv.

Oh i see yes it works fine. Widows 7 worked right away for me. Xp was another problem but seems to work now. I was hoping i could stream from anywhere my movie was located on disks. But i guess it has to be moved to the Shared Video folder?

XP don't seem to work for crap for me.

Only problem I can't see .VOB files.

You can stream from any folder. You just have to manually add the folder that the videos are in to the library in WMP 11.

I currently have videos pulling from 8 folders across two PCs on my network. They all go through Windows Media Player on one PC directly to my 360.
