Thread: How To Stream Video To Xbox 360...

1. Open Window Media Player and go to Tools and then Options. If the menu is not present, press the ALT key first.





2. In the Options dialog, click on the Library tab and you should see the section for sharing and folders to monitor:





3. Click on the Configure Sharing button and make sure your Xbox 360 is turned on. You should now see it in the list box. Click the Share my media button to enable sharing.





4. Now click on the Xbox 360 icon in the list box and click the Allow button. As you can see, my Xbox has already been allowed to access media on this PC. I have two icons because my original one broke and Microsoft sent me another one (that’s a different story!).
Once you click Allow, the green check icon will appear over the icon.


5. Now click on the Customize button to configure what you want to share with the Xbox. You can choose to share music, pictures, and video, the ratings, etc. It’s best to just choose “Use default settings”.





6. Now click OK and then click OK again to go back to the original Options
dialog box. Now click on Monitor Folders to setup which folders you want to show up on the Xbox 360.





7. You can either select My personal folders, which will automatically choose the My Documents folder, plus some other system folders. I chose the other option so that I could manually choose which folders to monitor.
Just click Add or Remove to pick your folders that have video, audio, or pictures. Click OK and then click OK on the main Options dialog. Now you are done with configuring Windows Media Player.


8. On your Xbox, click on the green Xbox button in the center of the controller.





9. Now go to the Media tab and choose Music, Pictures, or Videos.







10. The Xbox should automatically detect the Windows Media Player share on your computer and it will show the name of your computer.







Choose your computer name and now you will be able to browse through your media folders just as you would on your PC! That’s it! Now you can download videos from the Internet and watch them on your TV using your Xbox. Enjoy!

I use something called TVersity. So easy, i just import teh movies, shows, and music into TVersity then leave the comp on...My xbox gets it :)

Yeah this is a nice tut but tversity is much better and easier. You can do so much more with tversity like transcode x264 etc.

If you're on a Mac, Connect360 is fantastic.
