That's a no go on WMP11 on Server 2003. WMP11 is only for XP SP2 machines.


WMP11 is also standard on Vista.  And that's what I'm using to stream audio to my 360.  If anyone cared.

Here's the deal. I just updated the dash with the fall update and I also just updated to WMP11. From what I understand, I no longer need Windows Media Connect if I have WMP11. The thing is, all of the music in my library is on a remote computer running Windows Server 2003. So, no music is physically on my computer with WMP11.

Wait, I just had an idea.... Could I just install WMP11 on my Windows Server 2003 machine and bypass my laptop completely? I'm going to give that a go and get back to you guys.

But, my original problem was that when I would connect to my laptop through the 360 to stream music, it would show up as no artists. Anyone having a similar problem or know a fix?

EDIT: That's a no go on WMP11 on Server 2003. WMP11 is only for XP SP2 machines.


Hi,

You will not beable to install WMP11 Or Windows Media Connect on Windows Server 2003 trust me i've tried it:-) You can however install "TVersity Media Server" on Server 2003 and you will beable to stream Music,Pics And WMV Videos to your xbox 360.

Wow, thanks a lot! That works great for music. Now I've just got to figure out this transcoding service. Can it stream divx/xvid then?
