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

I can confrim that UPnP is still broken for the xbox 360. I have "TVersity and PlayOn" working on the same xbox 360 (I've also tried disabling the other UPnP servers with no success).

SVN: 16612
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/88162/

It seems (from looking at the log) that XBMC is pulling the data but nothing is displayed on the xbox 360 other then "No videos found." error. I get the same results with videos, music and pictures.

I'm willing to help debug the problem. Is there any other way to test the UPnP server?

I'll take a look at it tonight

Just downloaded Plex-0.73 (os-x). This here is also broken for the xbox 360. Unsure if that's the same branch of media server SVN: 16612 (havent checked yet)

>> "nothing is displayed on the xbox 360 other then "No videos found." error. I get the same results with videos, music and pictures."

Exact same behaviour on the xbox UI. The "XBMC:Media server" device is recognised / selectable item but navigating into it gives empty folder message. No issues accessing media through plex/xbmc mac client on host computer.

Restart xbox, plex, media server executable, host computer - all no effect.


Release note: Plex/Seven 0.7.3:
"This release also includes a new version of the Plex Media Server, ..."

Hello All,

I've tried my best to search this out for myself before asking for someone's help and time, but still no joy.

Can anyone with a little more knowledge than me offer a little help with getting my music and pictures to be seen on a 360 via XBMC UPNP.

My generic Nas was no good for any 3rd party linux based server apps, so I thought I'd try the good ol XBOX with XBMC for serving to the 360.

Setup - Generic Nas Drive, XBMC as UPNP Server, hopefully to 360.

I have managed to get my movies showing, which was fairly straight forward, but the music and pictures on the NAS, will not show on the 360.

The music side of things, I thought should have been fairly straight forward > library mode, scan to library. but nothing showing?

As for the pictures, I can't seem to find a way of using library mode/adding to library?

I'm hoping that it's me overlooking something simple and I'll take any comments for overlooking something so easy on the chin

Any ideas would be appreciated...........I really have tried my best independantly and searching the heck out of the forums to no avail, It's horrible being beaten !

Thank in advance,

D

Thanks!
I'm currently running SVN 16749 and the UPnP server is working great!

I'm replying to this as, I too, would like to know how to get the pictures working through XBMC's UPnP server.

i am trying to stream content from my windows 7 computer to my xbox360 via xbmc. Tversity and me are about to fight so i am useing XBMC for the time being until i create a small PC to run XBMC. I can stream my movies but when i try to stream my TV Shows they show up but when i click play it doesnt do anything on the XBOX. Any Suggestions?

Thanks!
