Setup for Orb seems to be less painless but I've encountered a few problems

- Videos arent' stretched to meet 360's resolution, hence the 360 does the stretching = VERY FUGLY if you want to stretched video to fill your screen.
- It doesn't like folders with names. I added "C:\videos\CSI" then when I tried adding "C:\videos\CSI Miami" it telss me that the Miami folder can't be added cause it's already contained by the CSI folder....

Iam using Windows Media Player11, and i tried streaming HD WMV sample which i downloaded from Microsoft.com ( 720p ) . But problem is that, i get frame-to-frame video. And my screen is a 20" widescreen lcd monitor. Any idea why?
