If you use vuze, you can easily share videos with your Xbox and it's a torrent download manager check out this tutorial – http://bit.ly/aNVpL0

I used to have this problem too! I tried TVersity, that was just average. I then randomly tried changing the Xvid files extension from .avi to .mp4, and ouilah! It worked!!

So, if you're having the "no videos found" issue, I say, give this a try! Switch the extension to .mp4! Good luck!! Do let me know if it works :)

As you know I have the 360 elite, which for some reason doesn’t stream like previous 360s.

First off I hooked up the xbox the normal way, plugged into local network etc.
I then downloaded the latest edition of TVersity (which in itself is a great media tool). Now for some reason AVI files did not work.
Next I converted a movie to WMV using WINavi video converter (freeware).

And presto it worked. If you have any problems check out the TVersity trouble shooting guide, it is probably an issue with your networking or firewall when the video doesn’t stream.

I have seen this problem all over the net. I think with the release of the Xbox 360 Elite they changed some software so that only certain codecs work. Maybe this is yet another attempt to stop video piracy? I have been trying a number of various things, TVersity, loading into WMP11, etc. While TVersity did work for small files like tv shows, it did not work for movies. I am still looking for ways that will work.
Once I find out that works I will let everyone know.

I think if you want some help we’ll need some more details as to what you have tried to get it to recognize your computer. There are a lot of comments above this that describe some common issues or extra steps.

In realistate, it’s alll location location locomoti….err… location

With audio video, it’s codec, codec, codec.

Audio’s easy. You use dbpoweramp (google it, it’s 12 bucks and worth thousands of dollars if you think time is money like I do). It will transcode, upscale, downscale, do whatever you want to whatever AUDIO file you like.

Now…. video gets tricky. Because they have all the aspects of an audio file, combined with all the aspects of a video file (wow…. stating the obvious there….)

ergo (no i’m not being the Architect, i used the word years before that d00d….). Xbox 360 has specific criteria for which codecs and formats it will play. This info is listed elsewhere so I’m not listing it here (google or hit the xbox website)

Trick is, you can convert any video file to an xbox 360 friendly format and stream it (ex: http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/20...xvid-streaming-suite-released/). You can even program your netflix free downloads to stream (..heh heh… ERGO: http://www.networkingaudiovide...rchives/cat_xbox_streaming.php)

However, I’m a big fan of the h264 stuff, so this is my favorite:

HOWEVER.

THis only takes care of the media format problem.

With Vista, there are a ton of ways to stream and tunnel crud to another machine. This kind of stuff is my weak point. I’m more of an A/V guy… so my savior is “Barb’s Connected World” a very groovin site that has helped a lot with my setup/problem: trying to get a PS3, 360, Wii, Vista Ultimate, and XP pro to all play nice together (and still be secure!)…..

I think the best bet is to use dbpoweramp to change audio files and VLC media player to stream anything in any format… but I haven’t figured the latter out. Still working…… I’ll keep posting

Hope this helps. Lemmie know via facebook under standardradionacceleratorcoreWHICHISATgmailDOTcom

It’s fun to get this stuff connected….but by the time you do, a better codec or format comes out!
