Xbmc For Xbox - February 24th 2008 Svn Rev11787 Build
« Reply #45 on: March 17, 2008, 02:51:00 PM »

Hello All,

I am trying to use my XBOX 1 with XBMC to feed the XBOX 360 for video and music.

I have seen reports that this is possible but I can't figure out how to do it.

The version on the XBOX1 is SVN rev11787 build of February 24th 2008.

The 360 has the most recent updates from microsoft.

Am I nuts?

Please help.


Thanks!

LOL.  competes2win holds a very good point regarding videos, but it is a great function for music - sometimes the right song can make all the difference.

OK, apologies galeen - I posted a reply in the other thread but my connection is being crap again so it obviously didn't go through.

You need to enable the UPnP Server in Settings>Network>UPnP Settings and then add the video and music folders you want to the appropriate sections. Then when you're on the 360 just change the music/video source and it should autodetect XBMC.
I've not tried it for videos really, except for a 2 minute test - I much prefer the display in XBMC and since mine are next to each other.  The music on the other hand works great, although navigating it can be a hassle, as it doesnt organise properly (I choose an artist, and still have access to all songs) but otherwise its great, and I stand by my comment that the right music can really help your gameplay.

Check back in Manage UPnP Shares to make sure everything was added properly, and reboot the xbox.  I've found sometimes it just tanks the info when you edit them.  Also I can't guarantee which file types work on 360, but mp3 and avi are good choices.

If that still doesnt work then I don't know, you might need someone better than me.  Although think I saw mention somewhere that things need to be scanned to library for sharing to work.  I'm not sure how it works, I just know it does for me, and I'm happy with that.
Good luck mate.

I'm guessing all of your media is on your xbox? because if you have the files on your computer its easy enough to stream those to the 360 via a upnp program such as Tversity.

So to be clear:

You have the uPnP server enabled.
You have content in your library, and it's set to be shared over uPnP.
The media is in a format the 360 can understand.
The 360 can't see the media at all.

Is this all correct?

F**king AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It works.  I had to add it to the library for it to work.  When I tried to play a divx it asked to download an update and it played after that.

Let me say again....

F**king AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks all.

Alrighty, I haven gotten through the excitement of Videos playing on the 360, but is is still pretty neat.  No loss over multiple aps.

Music seems to be tougher.  I can only seem to play MP3 and not M4A.  These are songs ripped directly into ITUNES from a cd.

All other music seems good.  I have downloaded the AAC update for 360(this same update was required for DIVX).

Any thoughts?
