Holy freakin crap..........Just watched an WMVHD clip (downloaded from Microsoft) in 720p!!!! It looks and plays so much better that Transcode360. Its so easy to set up, just drag folders into the window. Make sure you restart the PC though.

U dont need anything to play wmv files! Just share them with WMP11 or media connect!

This is for playing divx etc movies....

Maybe its because now you are just watching it as it should be and not transcoding it.

I can't seem to get it to work. I have a ton of AVI files and I can't see any of them

SoySauceUSC · « **Reply #20 on:** November 28, 2006, 04:25:00 PM »

It won't find my avi's, do I go through media center on the xbox, or do I just go through videos and computer? I want to make this work, so somebody if they got it to work tell us how.

You just use Videos on the Media blade, but you must go to the System blade and disconnect your shared computer first, then go back to Media and reconnect. This time you will see 2 options - 'YourPC' as before and 'TVersity on YourPC'. Select the second one.
I have gotten that far, but now although all the video are listed, I just get errors when trying to watch.

when i goto videos under the media tab i get "no videos found" cant even select computer or portable storage like i can under music and pictures, and both of those stream fine how come i cant chose a device to browse under videos? is it because i have a core system with no hard drive?

Kinda works for me, I see my notebook @ 360 and the files and all, but when I try to start playing them, mediaserver @ notebook crashed (according to vista message) and 360 gives an error...

Using:

Vista ultimate RTM
WIFI connection (this might be the problem? too slow?)
tversity with 360 patch

//edit might try the update with patch build in.

Hm almost the same result:

tversity doenst crash on me but get a lost connection to computer error.

Might be the problem that wifi is too slow

As per the TVERSITY Website:

Transcoding of some file formats require the installation of third party directshow filters that are compatible with TVersity. TVersity recommends:
ffdshow - for MPEG2/4, H.264, Divx, Xvid, AAC, FLAC, Vorbis, FLV, and many more
Haali Media Splitter - for better MP4 and H.264 support and for OGG/OGM and Matroska.
Real Alternative - for Real audio and video.
Quicktime Alternative - for MOV.
MP4 Source/Splitter* - for better MOV support.
FLV Splitter* - required for FLV playback.

(this is taken from there download page which has links to the various files)

After installing TVersity and the third party programs, I had to reboot.

I then added media to the play list. My first run was very grainy using the default settings. It looked horrible. I tinkered with the settings, upped the resolution, set the transcoder options as follows: NOT decrease bitrate if too high for my network (My computer and 360 are both on LAN), optimize for quality is checked, my connection speed is wired, video resolution of 600x480 (I also tried 1280x1024 and it seemed fine too but no appreciable difference...probably because of my 360's settings...anything over 480 vertical lines is probably overkill for me.), and NOT decode the media as fast as possible. I really wish I could have 1080 output from the 360 in 4:3 aspect... I'm not going to switch video modes back and forth just to watch things in higher quality on my console. Maybe I'll setup streaming to my xbox...it'll do some pretty cool stuff.

Of course your settings will likely vary depending on your computer's speed and other environment factors like network speed, wireless vs wired, etc. If at all possible you should have your 360 running wired to your router along with your computer...it can make a difference.

I can get my xbox to see WMP11 just fine, but it refuses to see TVersity. I disabled sharing on WMP11 and followed all of the setup instructions for TVersity but it still is not working. What is wrong?

On the site, in the 'Getting Started' guide there is a section that talks about the tcp bindings in the network connections settings. I'd recommend reading that and changing your settings. It takes two seconds to do and it may help. I had the same problem until I changed that setting. good luck!!

Cyberz · « **Reply #28 on:** December 04, 2006, 01:28:00 AM »

Hope they fix all bugs.... Sometims I can connect to it, need to restart sharing.
It has crashed my xbox 2 times.. specialy when trying to see cd2.
The Lost connection problem culd be fixed soon.

Then it will be gr8.
