| We already posted last week that a patch was released for TVersity Media Server that added support for on-the-fly WMV transcoding ... to allow you to stream pretty much any video format to your Xbox 360 from a Windows 2000/XP machine. Today they released a new beta of the TVersity Media Server that includes this patch and more ... Quote

But i do i need to link it to my shared videos in my documents or whatPost by: mbOG on November 27, 2006, 03:38:00 PM
None of the internet videos work for me on my xbox (expected that). But local video files on my comp are working great, unless their really large. Then it crashes and forces me to start sharing again.

Xbox lost connection, blablabla and then i see an error on win2003 and mediaserver is not running anymore.
Hope this can be fixed.
Maybe it is mediaplayer10 on win2003, mediaplayer11 is not available yet for win2003
Cheers,

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.

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????

Post by: quarky42 on December 01, 2006, 10:20:00 PM
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!!

Music and pictures are running fine, but all the movies not working. When I select Video on Xbox360 I only see the movies that are on the local harddrive.
I could only select "Videos from harddrive" not from computer. Why?
Is this because I am using a WLAN adapter?
Thanks in advance!

I wasn't able to view vidz, however I'm gonna install 3rd party codecs... cool!
I streamed an audio channel... WAY COOL!!
...BUT...
How do I get the freakin video list minimized to the ones in my localPC (instead of the world network)?
How do I listen to a shoutcast audiostream? do I need to create a *.xml? or can I just use the IP address? Reset the pc?
Thanks!

I installed latest TVersity and can transcode/stream just fine but my problem is I cannot get subs to appear when watching the movie. I have them properly named and in the same folder as the file (which works with xbmc) but even when i select the option in the codec for subs i cant get them to appear.. Any suggestions (I have bad hearing and cant watch anything with subs/cc)?
