For over a year I've been happily streaming my MythTV recordings from
my Mythbuntu server to an Xbox "classic" which was running XBMC. I did
this by setting up symbolic links with "pretty" names in a nicely
organised TV folder directly to the MPEG-2 files in the MythTV
recording folder.<br>
<br>
Now times have moved on a bit and I've "acquired" some HD content which
I'd like to view on my TV as opposed to my PC, or by connecting my
netbook to the TV so I bought myself a broken 360 (the DVD drive
doesn't work, but that's another story) with the intention of swapping
one Xbox for another.<br>
<br>
I did my research before-hand and found out that the 360 does play
MPEG-2, but I have since found out that it only does that through
Windows Media Centre, not using uPnP/DLNA. Obviously as I'm using
MythTV installing Windows on my server wasn't really an option, but a
friend suggested running it in a VM. I tried this, and it worked (using
a mapped drive from the Windows VM to a samba share on the host
machine), but it was unusabley slow taking about a minute to become
responsive after start up and then taking up to 30 seconds to respond
to the OK button.<br>
<br>
So, my question today is has anyone done this and got it working? Do
you have any advice? Are there options I haven't considered (which wont
cost me more, the Mrs is already annoyed that I've spent £75 and she
can't watch Eastenders atm)? Is there someway I could transcode these
videos on the fly into another format the Xbox 360 supports? Shall I
just cut my losses and revert back to the Xbox Classic with XBMC and
miss out on HD?<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
