PeeWee Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 If its a legit key then you should be fine using the link kev gave you. If you really stuck you could download this codec pack klite.It will give you a media player to go on with & you will need the codecs anyway.

eetaylog Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Windows media centre is rubbish, use mediaportal instead, its way more versatile and easier to navigate around. ..see my post on page3 of sidricks NesPC thread, ive linked a video demo of how the software runs.

Stu Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Easier to navigate? How hard is to to click on "My Videos", select the video you want and hit go? Do you want voice recognition or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want voice recognition or something? Believe me its way more intuitive, especially if youre using a remote to navigate around. Also, theres more to most media centres than just videos. MP has plugins for music, tv, radio, photos, emulators and loads more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeeWee Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) nothing happens when i click on kevs link? is there a place i can directly download it Tell us your needs, you may be able to opt for an alternative? Is it to stream through your xbox360 as a media centre? Edited December 28, 2009 by PeeWee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicnutter_1993 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 tbqh, i just want it in general for all the stuff it does. i stream music from my laptop to my xbox, i dont know how, but my xbox lets me lol. id like to be ableto stream pics and videos, maybe i can anyway? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I use tversity, streams nicely to the 360 from your host. Install it on your pc/laptop then just right click your media folder & choose "share with tversity".Then from your xbox go to videos then choose tversity. Then choose folders & you will see your movie shares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
