Behold, the power of orb:

http://www.orb.com

This program will convert any file (Divx, QT, RM etc) seamlessly, instantly, in the background to WMV, and you can't even tell it's not playing the Divx directly.

Once you're all signed up all you need to do is get to

http://my.orb.com

It works beautifully, just gotta figure out a way of controlling the webpage via the 360. Maybe open the webpage in Windows Media Player?

good idea but i cant fukin tab to the password box on 360 to enter the bastard...... can only enter username and theres no tab feature???

any ideas?

fandabidozi · « **Reply #2 on:** December 21, 2005, 02:52:00 PM »

ok heres the crack so far....

on your MCE PC goto C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs

make a text file called orb.txt and in it put this line of text.

<application url="http://my.orb.com" name="ORB"/>

then rename it to orb.mcl

then on 360 in media center go into more programs and its there. open it it may take a while cos it does the speed test every time u goto the site then the login screen pops up...

got a USB KB plugged into the 360 but tab doesnt work so i can only enter my username and cant navigate to the next box down...

Looking into HTML to add the username and PW on load if possible.

fandabidozi · « **Reply #3 on:** December 21, 2005, 03:03:00 PM »

What we need here is to add some code to the HTML in the link used like hotmail uses, it used to contain something like +login=crs +password=xxxxxx

so it auto completes the login and password feilds when the page loads any HTMLers out there that can do this?

fandabidozi · « **Reply #4 on:** December 21, 2005, 05:08:00 PM »

When the circle is on press A i always press it incase in the background its doing that speed test, it may take 2 mins to load while the circle is spinning cos its doing the speed test. try another page like google.com

stupid question, but can you push down on the remote instead of pressing tab?

fandabidozi · « **Reply #6 on:** December 22, 2005, 05:31:00 AM »

I dont have the remote yet but down on the controller does not work if someone has the remote can you try.. but i dont think it will work. I dont think theres any solution to full browsing of web pages due to the lack of ability to select items on the pages (hyperlinks and the like).

I got it all set up but it doesnt seem to let me press log in. I know you said that the focus is set on it but pressing enter does nothing.

mike86ttype · « **Reply #9 on:** December 22, 2005, 09:30:00 PM »

fandabidozi · « **Reply #10 on:** December 23, 2005, 03:16:00 AM »

Thanks fekker thats the login sorted cheers, but as above we need to look at how to now select the links on the next page so we can navigate to the folders.

Il put my thinking cap on tonight wen i get back from work

time_trial · « **Reply #11 on:** January 06, 2006, 01:09:00 PM »

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but couldn't you use a frameserver? Virtualdub does this, http://www.virtualdu...ocs_frameserver.

Haven't got MCE or a 360 to test this, so apologies if it's a numpty idea.

Underworld · « **Reply #12 on:** January 06, 2006, 01:27:00 PM »

Where do you have to put the script?

vsaiyan · « **Reply #13 on:** January 06, 2006, 01:33:00 PM »

Looks like some excellent progress is being made, shame we just can't open it up and start XBMC360 though...

HiRoll3r · « **Reply #14 on:** January 06, 2006, 05:07:00 PM »

This method is *not* going to work. Even if we get to the point where we can select files in Orb, at the very most we'll just get horrible video and no sound. The .asx files would be playing on the MCE PC, with the 360 acting as a dumb terminal.

Also, as was pointed out by a poster above, the 360 doesn't seem to play .asx files, or at least not the ones that Orb serves.
