streaming video to xbox 360

[shelbydz]

Hey all,

I've been searching the web all day looking for help. I'm running Edgy Eft, and want to be able to get HD video from it down to my xbox 360 to display on my HDTV. I know that the 360 will play WMV files directly, so 1: is there a way to convert these MKV files I have to WMV in Linux?

OR better yet, is there something out there that will let me stream the video to the 360? Does Freevo do this? I can't find any documentation about this and am having a hard time getting any solid help on this.

thanks. . .shawn

Hi m8,

my solution to stream to xbox 360 is to install windows media center in vmware or kvm

set up samba share from ubuntu host to windows in vm, map network drives through a login script in windows, more detail can be found on google about the login script to acess samba share under xbox media center.

I also use twonkymedia server for my music ( it will also play any wmv video to xbox too, but I have not been able to get it to play non wmv content i believe that it can be achieved but you have to link twonky with vlc via a transcond or something, more detial can be found on the twonky forums.

good luck and if you find an easier way pls let me know....

regards

Is there a guide for this, I doubt I will be able to do all that based on those simple instructions.
