Streaming Works With Zune But Not Wmp 11
« on: May 07, 2008, 03:44:00 AM »

So like the title says, everything works great when I use Zune to stream media files from the PC but if I turn off Zune and try to use Windows Media Player, no dice.  I've run through some of the troubleshooting steps and even configured my router but it won't work.  Anyone have any idea why one would work and the other wouldn't?  I even bother to ask because I want to stream avi files and from my understanding of it, Zune will not allow this.  I tried some registry "hack" which forced Zune to recognize avi files but Zune wouldn't play anything and the 360 wouldn't show the avi files (only the folders that Zune added).  I should add that I'm not looking for Transcode 360 as a solution, though I may revert to using it because putting videos on the flash drive each time I want to watch is becoming a hassle.

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.
