Stream from SMB shares to Xbox 360 with XBMC as UPnP server?

I can confirm, I can only stream music from XBMC to the 360 if the music is on the xbox 1, not through a SMB share. This is a major bummer. I am using a release from GasGiver 6-3-2008.

Can someone please help!!!
I have the latest version of XBMC installed on a Vista x64 PC and streaming to the X360 is working excellently. However, when you go into the videos on the X360 it shows all the videos in the library - even when on the PC there are multiple folder sources selected from difference physical locations, ie. movies, movies not watched, sport, TV series, etc

Is there any way to allow you to browse through the individual movie source folders on the X360?

Thx

I assume you're using UPNP to serve the media to the X360? The UPNP server only shares what's in the library.

Also, XBMC's UPnP server can currently not share files located on a SMB/Samba share.

i think that would work if using the Win32 version and you use drive letter mappings and not Xbmc's smb:// protocol. as far as Xbmc is concerned, the media would be considered local.

I can confirm that it is not working with UPNP server on XBMC (alpha4) on winXP using SMB shares. PS3 cannot reach content via this setup residing on shared drive. Wierd but true.
However I cannot find any info in official docuemntation that it should work, or whether it is somehow a limitation of the PS3 (v2.42) considering the setup above.

Anybody?

I am not sure when this got fixed, but I am using Atlantis Beta 1 and I can stream music to my 360 through SMB as long as its in my library.

Heyup all.

First off, I'd like to say a big thank you to the creators of this marvellous bit of software. I can't tell you how many hours of happiness it has brought my kids and I, and getting rid of DVDs and CDs has been a revelation.

But I've got a query. I'm tinkering about with the PC incarnation of XBMC (latest version, as of date of this post).

I'm trying to use XBMC's UPnP server feature to stream videos, music and pictures to my Xbox 360.

I've got videos and music to play - remarkably well as it happens, and most of my movies play on the 360, despite the lack of transcoding function, so I'm more than happy with that.

The one thing I can't get to work is, of all things, pictures. I'd like to browse the millions of pictures of my sprogs on the Xbox 360 but it can't see any. I've set up the folders in UPnP server settings but the Xbox 360 doesn't see anything. It works for videos and music fine, even though all that stuff is held on a NAS box elsewhere in the house. Obviously I went through the process of adding these items to libraries before I could see them on the 360.

Any suggestions for the pictures side of things?

Any solution to this yet?
