Hi all,

I must say excellent program and glad it came out so quickly! I sold my xbox and was fed up of converting my tv shows!

Anyway, I can get the program to work fine and sometimes I can watch several programs after another. But sometimes I can only get 20 mins in and it freezes.

Once the service on my pc fell over but most of the time I can't see what the problem could be!

My pc is a good spec (AMD 3200XP, 1 gb ram, SCSI HDD) No scrrensaver pn pc or the xbox.

Can anyone recommend a setting change within media centre or transcode 360?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

PS I have looked through many pages on this thread and couldn't see a resolution!

Hi All,
I've just installed this great piece of software and it worked first time. In fact, it's this software that prompted me to buy a 360 - runtime should get money from MS for increasing their sales! Anyway, just a couple of problems. If I stop a video that is playing and start another one (or the same one), the playback becomes very jerkey. If I go to the MCE machine and stop/restart the service then it's OK again - it looks like something isn't getting tidied up or released.

Secondly, using resume seems to hang the XBOX and I have to power cycle.

Anyone else seen these problems / any solutions ?

okeej i will write a tutorial soon cause i figured out the transcode360 was already working, only some coding for playing movies aren't installed correcly to watch online movies.
but streaming divx and xvid are working very good.

The thing was that i needed to go with my xbox into the media center section and select a option and press the blue button for more options and than select More.... and there is the transcode add-in i was looking for.
just select the transcode360 bij pressing the green button and the movie starts playing

very very sweet.

now the next step is that i can watch movies online. cause online 2 out of 9 standard online movie channels are working, the rest i can't play for some strange reason.
so i'm trying to make my MCE on my xbox fully functional

Hello !
When i push "transcode", after a few seconds i recive:
Transcode360: Exception
The socket has been closed

(I'm italian, in italian is: Il socket sottostante e' stato chiuso)

Any ideas ?

Thanks !!!

This is an excellent and informative thread.

I have managed to install Transcode360 on my MCE box and it works but playback is very very choppy.

I guess my 800mhz box just can't do the transcoding fast enough (surprise surprise !)

So I'm trying to utilize another PC on my lan that has plenty of CPU available.

I've installed transcode360 onto that PC but so far have been unable to get this distribution of processing between my MCE box and the more powerful PC working.

Some questions:
1. does the divx video file need to reside on a shared resource that both PCs can access ?

2. does transcode360 need to have the same account logged in on both PCs ? (to explain : I have a user account on my MCE box and a user account on the 2nd PC)

3. I'm not clear from this thread whether transcode360 works with mapped network drives

4. When changing the registry key on my MCE machine to direct transcode360 to my 2nd PC does it only work with IP address or can I indicate "\\pc_name" ? (reason: I have a DHCP server providing IP so this IP address will change regularly)

1. does the divx video file need to reside on a shared resource that both PCs can access ?

Yes. And you need to make sure that the Xbox 360 and MCE PC access the resource using a UNC path (i.e. \\computer\share\filename). Because Transcode runs as a service it cannot access files using drive mappings.

2. does transcode360 need to have the same account logged in on both PCs ? (to explain : I have a user account on my MCE box and a user account on the 2nd PC)

No, as long as both accounts can access the shared files.

3. I'm not clear from this thread whether transcode360 works with mapped network drives

No, see 1

You can use a computer name, but leave out the \\, just put pc_name in the registry key.

Finally, if you are running Windows Firewall on the PC that will do the transcoding, go the Exceptions tab of the firewall, click Add Port and add a rule allowing access on TCP port 1401.

I am surprised that nobody has come across a problem like mine.
I can't see any addition to my context menus after installing Transcode 360.
No "more items" and "transcode" item in my movie context menus.

Below is a detailed explanation of my problem. I hope someone might help me.

I installed DivX 6.1 codec and Transcode 360 together with XBOX 360 extender software and Windows Media Encoder on my MCE 2005 PC.

I can watch divx videos locally on the MCE 2005 PC with both Windows media player and from within Media Center.

I acn also watch recorded movies from my Linksys MCE Extender.

But I can't watch divx videos on the Linksys Extender. Because I can't see any "more" or "transcode" items when I press "info" button on any divx file.

Please help me to find the problem.

My host PC (MCE 2005) does not listen on port 8080 or 1401 (which is asked for on Traqnscode 360 setup). Should it listen ? how ?

And I never was able to install Linksys Extender software on my MCE 2005 PC because before that Xbox 360 extender software was installed. Now my extender works with xbox 360 software. Should I remove it and install original linksys software ? How can I remove the Xbox 360 extender software , there is no uninstall of it ?

Thanks for any help

ilkeraktuna · « **Reply #374 on:** March 14, 2006, 05:43:00 PM »

is there anything else I should do to see "transcode" item in the context menus ?
for which files (extension) I should see this item ?
is it enough to press "i" (info) button on my remote controller to get to the "more" menu item ?
