right, so i should spend more money and more time instead of using the hardware i already have. great call.]]>Nov 25th 2006 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/Nov 25th 2006 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/
Give the TVersity team a little time. It's only been 2 weeks or so since the official fall dashboard update (which allowed streaming wmv video from non-MCE Windows systems) and we already have successful on-the-fly transcoding.

Finally, (thanks to the fall update and the latest TVersity patch) I now have what Microsoft promised and implied a year ago.]]>Nov 25th 2006 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/Nov 26th 2006 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/Nov 25th 2006 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/
Microsoft you've done it again. Anymore shitbox features you forgot to leave out?]]>Nov 25th 2006 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/25/finally-on-the-fly-wmv-transcoding-for-the-xbox-360/
That being said...I have installed TVersity and it works! Although I am getting a strange grid pattern accross my screen that is visible at times??? I'm going to play with the encoding settings and see if I can fix it.

I recommend shutting off your firewall until after your shure everything works.
Follow these instructions:

HOWTO: Divx Streaming & Transcoding on Xbox 360

Here is a little guide for the inevitable wave of peeps trying to get this to work.

Files required

TVersity:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/download.tversity.com/Setup_0_9_8_2a.exe
TVersity Xbox 360 patch:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/download.tversity.com/Xbox360Patch_0_9_8_4.zip
FFdshow:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm
FLVSplitter:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=183318

Note: Links subject to change

If you use Windows Media Connect or Windows Media Player 11

If you already have Windows Media Connect or Windows Media Player 11 sharing your media, you will have to disable them. Goto the 360 and remove the PC from the System tab->Computers. Unistall Windows Media Connect and/or disable sharing in WMP 11.

Instructions

On the PC (in my case Windows Vista x64):



1) Install TVersity
2) Make sure the TVersity service is stopped
3) Overwrite the TVersity files with the 360 patch
4) Install ffdshow and flvsplitter (extract to a useful folder e.g. C:\Windows\system32, use a command prompt to install: regsvr32 flvsplitter.ax)
5) Goto: http://localhost:41952/
6) Add the folder you would like to share under the sharing tab by using "Add folder" on the file menu. Change the device to "Xbox 360" in the settings tab.
7) Reboot



You may also wish to delete the internet streams under "Library" by pressing the delete button. This adds too much to the 360 (about 1500 items! making it hard to find your files).

Also you may need to add "MediaServer.exe" to Windows firewall as it may not be added automatically.

On the 360:



1) Goto the blue "Media" tab
2) Goto video - Computer
3) Connect to TVersity on XPC
4) You may need to go back and forward, to refresh list first time
5) Play a DIVX!!!



Other codecs

The only codecs I have installed are: ffdshow, flvsplitter, vsfilter, quicktime alternative and real alternative.

Unofficial known issues

350mb AVIs work straight away, 700mb AVIs require me to load them twice on the 360 (it will say timed out or whatever), just try it again.

Some files will fail to work because the filename is too long - so try shortening it.

Thanks for all your hard work guys, keep it up

Finally DivX on 360 thanks to TVersity
