360 Media Server v0.0.2 Posted by XanTium | August 29 22:49 EST | News Category: Xbox360

Tawsi released a new version of 360 Media Server, a upnp media server designed for streaming music to the Xbox 360. It is capable of transcoding many non supported formats including AAC, Ogg and Flac as well as the formats the 360 already supports (MP3 and WMA). Also capable of reading iTunes XML. It's working on Windows, Mac and Linux. No details found on the exact changelog in this new version. Official Site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/x360mediaserve/ Download: here

sounds like a great tool for those without MCE!

Yep

I really like how this software just works, and well

Is there anyway to implement pictures and/or video with this program as well?

Anyone knows all the formats suported?

hmmm it connects and lists but nothing plays well not flac anyways, gonna test mp3 folders now. got mp3s to work, no idea on why flac dont work, anyone gotten flac to work?

Sounds like a great concept, but I cannot see the server from Xbox 360. I have it linked by ethernet, and used to share to it from Windows Media Player 11, so I know the Xbox settings are fine. The instructions that are in the x360mediaserve package download state that it requires:

lame.exe - mp3 encoder binary

oggdec.exe or sox.exe (with ogg support) - ogg decoder (if you plan on using ogg support), can also use sox

faad.exe - faad2 aac decoder binary

flac.exe - flac decoder

and, for Linux


install lame,faad,flac and sox where they will be found by a bash script

run start

Regarding this, what bash script could they be referring to, / .bash_profile possibly? If so, where would one need to install/copy the above decoders for the bash script to see them?

I can configure it via the link, and can start it running, but the XBox 360 cannot see it. I know the XBox 360 does not have a problem with sharing usually, because I also installed Ushare and it saw it, but I could not configure Ushare, said something about "endian test failed".

wow, do you actually read before posting? This thread was almost 2 years old!
