360 video streaming

Kreeeee · 13 Jun 2007 at 23:48

Is there any way to share video (WMV conversions if DivX films) from my PC to my 360 without putting the converted films in my shared video folder? This is an issue as my Windows partition is only 10GB. Ideally I'd like to share a folder on a separate hard drive with the 360. Can this be done?

Cheers.

Using windows media connect allows you to assign any folder to be shared with the 360.

If you are using anything else I am afraid I have no idea.

Using one of the powertool applications you can change the folder 'My Videos' points to, so that may work.

Windows Media Connect/Center allow you to share any folder you want on your PC, not just your 'Shared Folders'. So yes, you can.

I can't find windows media connect anywhere. MS seem to have replaced it with Zune. Does anyone have a link to the legacy WMC application?

Cheers guys.

Thought I had it working via that...

but when my videos are in the assigned folder for my videos I still cannot see it.

Just setup WMP11 (which replaced Connect) and share the folder which has your video files in.

Just did what you said but I had to fiddle about with adding files to the library to get it to work. Thanks mate

I just use Transcode360 and in WMC go to Tasks->Settings and tell it which Video folders to watch.

TVercity is another App that works. (but you need to have the right codex)
