Warner Robins, GA | Exactly, they're already on the Wii and AppleTV  | |
|
| | Good, another alternative It's often difficult to use the PS3 to stream videos across a network with third party apps like Windows Media Player or TVersity. WMP doesn't have a very intuitive interface when it streams the media, and TVersity has some show stopping bugs. For example, certain encoded videos I have will crash the media server outright.
It will be interesting to see what Google brings to the table. Maybe the same on-the-fly encoding TVersity offers with more stability and supported formats?
I just wish Sony would open up the PS3 more to allow third parties to put XBMC on it. I still keep my old XBox around because that little thing will play anything I throw at it. | |

From the article: All you need is a PC running Google Desktop and a UPnP-enabled device Now the google media server can SEE the xbox 360 the 360 canot see the google media server. I read on some other board that the only way to get the 360 to recognize the google media server is to trick it into thinking it was made by microsoft and the guy from google said the legal dept advised against doing that.
I also read where if you edit the .xml you can get it to work but when I did it I could at least get the 360 to see the media server but I couldn't get it to do anything else. maybe I didn't do it right. | |
|
| | | | | | | | Re: Many things out there do this. Looks like you're right.
At time of development the only way to connect the XBox 360 to a UPnP
server, was to have a service that is only found on Microsoft services
(used for registering for DRM content) and for the server itself to be
claimed to be made by microsoft. Legal would not allow us to pretend
to be microsoft (although there are other servers out there that do).

I use WMP 11 anyways, but I did want to compare to 2. | |

Don't do drugs.
Your original reply to me was argumentative and uninformed. We pointed you to monoprice.
I showed you what a HTPC was - never suggested you buy one. Just showing that they do exist.
Tried to show that one doesn't need a console to watch some crappy Youtube video on the TV.
You are the one that wishes to continue arguing. I think it's funny myself. 
So do whatever it is that you wish to do.
Enjoy your XBOX!

| | | | | | | | | | | said by dadkins:Not everyone here has a XBOX. Apparently most here do have computers and a video card is WAY cheaper than a XBOX. I would argue more people have XBoxes and PS3's near a TV than PC's. HTPC's are such a niche product and you're trying to espouse their use over already common household electronics.
Seriously, calm down. Both have their merits. Dedicated media systems like the 360, PS3, Apple TV, high def receiver (many can stream media) are cheap, relatively plug and play, and ubiquitous in homes that would take advantage of this. HTPC's are far more functional but are often either expensive or difficult to get running. | |

let me put to you this way. Say you have a 2 year old car that is in excellent condition. The only problem is only get 25 MPG and I suggest your solution is to by a new hybrid that get 50 MGP. Sure you'll save on gas. The extra money you spend on the car is in FAR excess of the savings on gas though now isn't it. Same type thing. | |

*I* own several computers, a video card(if I needed one) would be more cost effective.
I do not own a XBOX or PS3.
Last time I checked, a console cost $300+.

Just dont open any ports on your router for it, that way it will only be accessable from your home network (not the internet). If you want to securely stream individual selections "on-demand" over the internet you can use AIVMS. | |
