I've just sat in front of the TV watching West Ham get beat again - that in itself is annoying however just as annoying is the poor quality of the stream. I've been using the likes of TVAnts and Sopcast on my PC running through VLC and outputting a stream, I've then used URL Paster (script) to pick up that stream from my PC to Xbox. So VLC is creating a stream at http://192.168.2.3:8080 and then the xbox is just picking that stream up. All fairly simple stuff however I'd like to know if it's possible to make a plugin that can pick the stream up from my PC in a better quality. VLC Player can output the stream as Divx/MP4 but the best I can get to stream to the xbox is WMV2, if I try any better the xbox doesn't accept it. I've used plenty of the great plugins for movies and TV shows and the quality is great so if the PC is doing all the hard work I would have thought it shouldn't be a problem for the xbox to show the stream. I'm not very good at all this technical stuff so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Also for some reason when I try to create a stream from Sopcast through VLC player it doesn't seem to work anymore - any ideas anyone? The other P2P software seems to work, only Sopcast I'm having issues with at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
