Using an Xbox360 as a client

tonye · 2008-09-15, 07:53

Hi,
although I trust this has been answered somewhere, and maybe I'm missing some very simple step, but how do I get my Xbox360 to connect to my MediaPortal PC? Yep all the obvious, it's on same network, etc.
But the Xbox360 seems to want to talk only to a Microsoft media centre.

So I would appreciate some assistance and maybe this information could then be inserted into the Media Portal documentation. I'd even be happy to do a step by step guide! I'm IT savvy, but there are a lot who aren't.
Although I'd only use a Xbox360 as a door stop or to connect my MediaPortal PC

Unless I am mistaken, there is no support for using the 360 as a client directly to MP. I just share content through WMP11.
