A quick update on this..

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gmediase...01/threads.html

There's basic functionality with a patch to gmediaserver .9, as well as some documentation as to what a pnp server needs to respond with in order for the 360 to "see" it.

Enjoy..

I applied the patch to gmediaserver and as long as I don't load a folder with too many songs it works just fine. I was able to stream music from a Linux box to 360 without any hiccups.

Anyone else have luck with this?

I've made a media server (running on top of java 5 using the jetty http server and cyberlink upnp libs) that should work on windows mac and linux (not tested it on my linux box yet but I can get it working on the other two). It currently supports AAC,Ogg,Mp3,WMA (not lossless) and Flac (untested). It can also read the iTunes XML to build the song DB.

Its available under the GPL from http://sourceforge.net/projects/x360mediaserve/

Its still a very very very early version but me and my friends have had no major problems streaming AAC, Oggs and MP3s to the 360. Its lacking any UI (other than a non compliant webform that allows you to add directories and iTunes files) and may require editing the transcoding scripts to do with the endianness of the platform you are using it on.

x360mediaserve works for me, it runs fine in linux
but there are still some bugs about empty albums...
for the rest... it's good too add some documentation if possible...
btw, is it possible too add the source too?

By empty albums do you mean albums that appear to contain no songs when you select them?

How do you mean add the source? It should be in the cvs repos on the site.

Documentation will have to wait a while because a lot of the design is completely up in the air, since the current release was built out of a system I wrote to test if it was feasible to write all of it as a set of Servlets.

Great work. Thanks. I was able to get this running on Windows XP Tablet PC edtion. I could stream music to Xbox 360. I could not get WMC 2 to work in my PC.

BTW Does this support pictures?

Cool. I'm hoping it should work on almost all platforms with java 5 and the relevant decoders but I suspect there are probably some issues somewhere.

No picture support yet, I've been restructuring the way it works internally to make it easier to put a fancy web interface on it (I haven't actually built a fancy web interface, just made it easy to do) and have it remember preferences.

In theory it should be quite easy to support pictures since they are just a different media type. Its on the list of things to do when I get a chance.

tawsi,

Thanks for the quick update. I will keep an eye open for new updates.

Its still a very very very early version but me and my friends have had no major problems streaming AAC, Oggs and MP3s to the 360. Its lacking any UI (other than a non compliant webform that allows you to add directories and iTunes files) and may require editing the transcoding scripts to do with the endianness of the platform you are using it on.

Great job, works fine on my iBook in OS X.

Great job. I look forward to progress on this application. This program works when Windows Media Connect refused to. My computer has Internet Connection Sharing and is the only one in the house so...

I got this all up and running and added folders, but for the life of me the 360 cannot see it....

Has anyone any experience of streaming using u-share? I have tried running it from an nslu2-box without success even if the documentation says it should work. It would be good to know wheter it's a problem with u-share or my setup.

DanielP · « **Reply #28 on:** June 13, 2006, 12:10:00 AM »

I am wondering if anyone actually has succeeded in streaming (and perhaps even transcoding) video from Linux to an Xbox 360?

I took a look at the X360mediaserve open source project and actually was eager to help getting that thing up and running but perhaps there is no meaning in doing that if there are other readily available solutions?
