Anyone here stream HD MKV movies to their XBOX? After figuring out how to do it on the PC side, technically everything is in order..but there is a problem. It seems the XBOX keeps disconnecting when using the MCE on the XBOX when browsing through the files etc....i think this is a problem of XBOX having problems when there is too many files...i tried sharing a single folder and file and it seems to work....all in all, it's a bloody nightmare trying to stream movies to XBOX!!

Anyone having the same problem??

Although now i have a WDTV Live, which does the job perfectly...i still wanna know why it didn't work on the XBOX!

since when did you have 360??

check firewall and put 360 IP in DMZ.
then enable this port:
Port that need to be opened
but i thought MKV can't be streams using MCE? only can be used by 3rd party application such as TVersity, etc.
if your PC is able to handle HD playback and you have dvi/hdmi port on the graphic card, i would suggest connect from PC straight to TV and playback by Media Player Classic. 360, Media Player, and Media Center all will output graphic that i feel not sharp enough..

Huh? Since early this year i think. LOL.

MKV is now streamable with the DIVX PLus, it evens provides DXVA hardware acceleration and use very little CPU power. Friend, if connecting PC directly to TV is an option, i wouldn't be buying a media player or try to stream movies...doh.gif ...My PC is outside of the room, no way i'm gonna lay a fugly thick HDMI cable all over the place.

And yes, streaming quality actually sucks. I use my WDTV Live to watch movies using a LAN cable...stream MKV perfectly without transcoding, but just curious to what went wrong with the XBOX.
