Media Center Extender for original xbox - eh?

Anastrophe · 2009-08-15 13:08

Searching for something else on the net, I found this:
http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/xb...esandmedia

Has anyone used it? What's it like? Has it been around for a while?

It works great and is there for a long time....

thanks - i didn't know you could use the original xbox as a media extender to view stuff from your Media Center PC.

Does the client get better with each iteration of the Media Center app? I suppose this must also let you watch live TV on the original xbox?

The xbox is the media center !!!
Media extender for xbox is an remote controller !!!
Xbmc runs super on the old xbox !!!

I feel reasonably confident that this is off topic, so...

I know that, what I'm getting at is that the link is for using an original XBOX as a media center extender for XP/Vista/Win7.

I must have missed that memo because I didn't think it was possible and I've never seen the an MCX DVD. This is not for the 360 AFAIK.

The software that you talking about was a disk and remote combo sold by M$ that linked your Xbox to your media centre PC ..... it was pretty awfull - to use it you had to boot off the disk and its codec support was tosh! - the remote controller is a nice addition to XBMC thou if you can get one.... IIRC it was only release in the US.

XBMC ABSOLUTELY trousers it - in every way shape or form. Big Grin
