[QUOTE="elboxmano, post: 255263, member: 66859"] You should be able to use it for streaming via mediaportal but we cannot currently achieve it via XBMC. Here's the scoop: Streaming mp4 files is a pain in the *** it seams only the iphone can do it easily....Hence no streaming on XBMC. However a work around has been found which will have two components: A server program which simply downloads the bits of the file and joins them together streaming the bits.. And a client program which recieves the file. Now streamable. (not unlike the TV server trick with mediaportal as I understand it) Problem is that with XBMC we can't get both processes running at the same time due to some python quirks. It works on desktop PC. It works from desktop PC server to XBMC It works from one XBMC running server to another running client. Doing both at once on the same machine however fails. Meaning that if you don't want to run a permininant server (currently a python script in IDLE interpreter( or use a second xbox to make things work) you're out of luck....for now. However there's no reason I can see why this method couldn't be implimented on mediaportal. It already works on the same PC so it's simply about implimentation.
