Xbox 360 in built media playing functionality

[nath]

So I see you can stream music and pictures, but then I was at a mates place and we tried streaming movies and it didn't seem to have the option?

What's the deal?

If you go to xbox website they have a guide on how to set it up.

basically cant stream movies unless u have a media centre PC and even then its like only wma or something format

tbh for media box get xbox and soft mod it and run xbmc on it

 

[nath]

We both already have that, I'd just hoped the xbox could be retired and the 360 would take over the lot.

Guess not.

 

[Yaka]

well not unless it gets a chip and xbmc gets ported over,

I get a feeling E3 will bring alot more news about the 360 and its media capabilities.

I think Windows Vista will allow you to stream video and so you dont need media PC, not 100% though.

still thou you woulda thought ms atleat paid some attention to XBMC when X360 was in production, for many peeps its the reaon why they have chipped xboxes.
instead they give x360 shitty and limted multimedia features. i dont hink it will change
