Title: Problems with 360 media sharing :(
Post by: MMaRsu on April 22, 2009, 11:18:29 AM

Hey guys, I figured I'd ask here since I couldn't get it to work myself..

For the past few months I was at home and I could get the media sharing through Tversity to work. From my laptop I went to the router, all with ethernet cable and then to the 360 also through cable. I had no problems whatsoever sharing media through Tversity > 360.

Now I'm at my dads place for a week or so, and it won't recognize the laptop anymore on my 360. I didn't change anything in any settings beforehand and I even did a clean reinstall of Tversity. That didn't work either. I went into the router settings and enabled UPnP, don't have a firewall or Norton on either.

Nothing seems to work and this sucks, cause I want to watch my shows/movies on HDTV instead of my laptop. Maybe someone here will know the answer? Thanks in advance..

I've never tried it with video but maybe you should download the Zune software?

dunno about Tversity but i just had same problem with WMP11 (Vista SP1), didn't recogonize my pc even though it worked before.

what i did to fix it: delete 360 media sharing in WMP11 (library --> more options --> configure sharing), reboot 360/pc/router and it's working again.

i also deleted Media Center connection in 360 system settings but i doubt it had any effect but worth a try in any case.

note: and i am using static ip and windows firewall if it matters.

User account control? Sure there's only one account and it's an administrator account.
