This looks similar to tvversity (I use it...it works...I guess I recommend it.). Lemme kick down my TVVersity experience for comparison: Point the app towards some media on your HD to share and then point the 360 towards your machine on the network. It winds up converting the files to wmv. What sucks is that it takes up twice the space on your HD (for both the media files AND the converted wmv's). What is cool is when you point it to a youtube or google vid, it creates a wmv of it on your machine. Those converted files could be potential new media to store away to view later without conversion (although in shitty low resolution Flash compression...but hey...I'll take my MST3K however I can get it). Also, if you have a shit machine, converting quality source media on the fly will be a bitch. Choppy as a mother fucker. It didn't run video smoothly until I upgraded my hardware.
I'm willing to swap if Will reports good shit from this other app.
WTF is a Dim Mac?!?!?

different apps...heh
the main draw for this one is the hulu/cbs content. it doesn't give a damn about your own videos. you'll need to keep tversity for that. i still use the original xbox for my own videos, no recompiling time required.

I'll probably drop the 30 bux for the full license. free to try out for a few weeks.
One major fail of this program is it HAS to use the drive Windows is installed to. My C drive was intentionally smaller, with a larger, logical data drive. Looks like I'll need to rethink my partition scheme to accomodate.

heh i've run into that quite too many times that I've stopped partitioning hd. no real point these days with the size of drives being dirt cheap. my only partitions now are the physical drives themselves, since i'm too lazy to configure in a raid.
So, this actually works pretty well.
They're working on a bug with Netflix using M$ Silverlight preventing the videos from playing currently. After that, I imagine they're going to allow the app to change the directory/drive it uses.
Aside from Netflix not playing videos, the rest works as advertised. I watched like 4 McGuyver episodes on my TV at home yesterday, courtesy CBS.
I still can't believe he pulled off the mullet.

I also read that the current version has a nasty mem leak, which i experienced. the current workaround is to restart the server frequently haha. kinda annoying. you have a 360 or ps3?
gamertag? oh
