to stream from your PC you need either Windows XP MCE or Windows XP SP2. with SP2 you the latest Media Center Extender from xbox.com or Media Player 11.


try download some WMV video from http://www.xboxyde.com/
if cannot play that one also thats mean something is wrong.

btw, your dashboard updated to the latest already rite?

yeah, my dashboard is the latest one.

I have WMP 11, and I've no problems streaming music and pictures. Only videos.

tried the xboxyde video already? ply with your thumb drive and see can or cannot.

IIRC the xbox360 will give some sort of number that need to be inputted on PC to work, thats last time lar, now dunno still like that or not.

not yet. the video's still downloading.

hmm, what sort of number?

edit: i give up, screamyx's too slow. always disconnects, so i can never finish downloading a video.

what type of files can the 360 play? avis without any encodings, or can it take divx videos?

-offtopic-
haih PSP also same, last time so leceh to get videos running on it now luckily with later fw just need to put under video.

Fcuk yeah! My Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive has shipped out of Play Asia, estimated arrival time to destination by tomorrow, 6pm. Lets see if this thing gets here before i gotta go for work. HD movies FTW!

no, only files with extension of WMV and encoded with WVC1 or WMV. audio should be encoded with WMA.

How much did the shipping costs?

bah, no wonder. all my videos are avis

u got LOTR HD-DVD?

What about the discs? Have you bought any?

They're not released yet

I have one in my cart right now, UPS is $23 while FedEx is $25

Go with FedEx bro, it's worth the difference.

w00t! nice one. The only reason i want 360 HD-DVD is to watch sabra idol video HD-DVD version

But need to find the magazine first

Why the different spelling for your Gamertag?

If String doesn't condemn the player kaw2 I'll prolly get it soon

Cos somebody registered the other spelling before me.

Back to the 360 HDDVD drive though, Wouldn't a standalone HD DVD player cost about the same?

a standalone hd dvd player would cost about the same as 360 console + hd dvd add-on, so if u already hv the 360, its quite a bargain. even pc hd dvd drives costs more...

Absentmindedness is my middle name, folks. In my fervous hunger for the drive, i have totally forgotten about what to FEED the drive with. *Hundreds of can be heard around the country for this * .Just ordered 4 HD-DVD titles after consulting the AVSForum's Holy Grail HD-DVD listing , and they are V for Vendetta (for TrueHD lossless audio), King Kong (for U-Control feature), Chronicles of Riddick (for scrutinising fast moving action sequ?ences) and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (for U-Control and HD-DVD/DVD combo feature).

Sadly, the fastest this can come to my doorstep is by next Monday with the 2-4 days Priority Shipping option, so it's gonna be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong weekend! Which i would probably wont feel, since im working in Melbourne and will only be back home come Sunday night. Wont stop me from refreshing the order status though.

Update on the whereabouts of the drive, it has left Subic Bay in the Phillipnes, so it should be in KLIA by today morning 8-9am. Once cleared, should be in the van, and be in my home, the earliest, 1pm, like how my PSP GPS addon arrived. Customs, please expedite clearance for this.

The standalone player is around $400+ but the killer part is the shipping because the thing is so bulky

The add-on should be a decent player to use while waiting for the standalone to become more affordable

I believe the HD-DVD addon of XBOX360 can be plug into a PC. Can the ASIA XBOX360 play US Region HD-DVD? I have doubt.

Yes..it can be connected to the PC especially when vista is released, and it requires hacking for the connection with windows xp. And, please bear in mind that currently, all HD-DVD are Region Free. This issue had been mentioned in this forum thread already.
