I am looking into getting media center, does anyone know what extra features you get while having your xbox and media center hooked together? Thanks for your input in advance..
HMMM About the music, in what format does it have to be?, i have a few folders shared with the xbox360 and it wont play, well it wont appear on the xbox player. I think my files are ACC4 not sure but i know some are mp3's.
you need a media center pc $799.00 in order to use the media center version of windows xp so you need a new computer in order to use media center because during installation media center edition windows xp requires a video tv tuner card a graphics card of 512megs or better
If "Windows Media Connect" is installed you can still connect to your XBOX360 to your computer to stream video and music. I do think you need full blown XP MCE on the PC to do the TV recording part though.
If you already have a tuner you can purchase Windows MCE 2005 from many places such as www.newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16832102357. Thats what I did and it works great with my ATI All In Wonder and my ATI remote. Of course I had to do a few tweaks with the remote setup, but thats it.
