quite a few months ago someone (I think it was hunting) was trying to stream video from a pc to his xbox, and had all kinds of problems

well, umm, sorry about that. here is a program that requires no setup (beyond telling it which folders the media is in).

all I did was install it, point it to the folders. then on my xbox, I went to videos, and it was there.

its a basically all java program to serve photos, music, and movies. it will also transcode on the fly to the correct format for the player (shows up as an additiona #transcode folder in the video folder).

its freaking simple really.

its called ps3mediaserver. it was originally made for the ps3, but they added in the feature needed for the xbox.

here (code.google.com)

- if the format is not supported by the xbox/ps3, it will transcode them to the required format - Truman Oct 22, 21:55 5
  - avis play fine on XBox right now, FWIW. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 21:57
  - i bet it won't play the movie files from the original Warcraft disc! (mkv, I think the format was) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 21:56 2
    - actually, i read someplace that it will transcode mkv files -- nm - Truman Oct 22, 21:57 1
