currently looking through the possibilites of xbox360 + media center (streaming etc) and got some questions to ppl who can help :)
1. Can i stream hd TV from eyetv (mac mini server in my local network) to the xbox 360 via wifi? So i can watch all tv-channels in hdtv? it works to other apple comptuers and iphone/ipods
2. 1080p movie streaming via wifi from win7 to xbox360 via media center works fine?
3. my xbox360 has 250gb space.. can i download torrents directly on the xbox360 ? so i download a .mkv file via utorrent and select as download destination the xbox 360 ? So i wouldnt need to stream it from the laptop later?
4. do more than just one streamign device work with the xbox ( e.g. my win7 laptop + the mac mini server at the same time?)
5. i guess .rar files wont work with streaming or saving on the xbox 360 ? :S media player classic (and also vlc i think) can play movie files when rightclicking .rar files... means i would have to download most torrents anyway to my laptop, extract them, move them on the xbox360 hdd
6.is the streaming quality via wifi worse than via hdmi?
think thats all for now :P
thx bb

naja zurück zum thema.
für wifi brauchst du den Wlan adapter und der folgende link müsste eigentlich das alles erklären

@edit: auf win7 hab ich weder media center noch windows media player druaf.. aber würde es evtl. wieder installieren damit ich streamen kann. Die sache ist halt nur: Warum auf xbox 360 streamen wenn der laptop via hdmi sowieso auch am fernseher angeschlossen ist :/
and about .rar files not working on 360: no shit
My wifi speed is 54Mbit, and it's not a slow connection.
for live streamign i found this:

not sure if that one support life streamign for xbox too:

none the less why whould you stream movies to your xbox while you got a laptop? Just connect your laptop with your TV ?
also i have a mac-mini server at home (other room) which isnt connected to the tv in my room via hdmi.. but it has 1TB of movies + eyetv (hdtv live-tv)
I've never had a problem watching movies over wifi, but then I've never tried it with a really high-res movie. Afaik you won't be able to torrent direct to the xbox HDD either.
my laptop is connected to the tv with a hdmi cable anyway.. and if life-tv doesnt work i dont see any sense for that streaming stuff :( propably only usefull to watch movies which are on the mac-mini server (so i dont need to download them on my laptop + stream to tv but can directly watch them via the xbox360 without downloading/deleting etc)
too bad
i promised aphesia to once come to holland (propably a lan this summer) to meet him. so you would have to come to holland to eat winer schnitzel + bier with me while sitting in lederhosen and listening to anton aus tirol :D
and as dessert: wiener sacher torte !
sure :D
