How can I set up Windows Media Player 11 or Zune to share my media to my console?
For info about setting up sharing, see http://www.xbox.com/pcsetup. 31. Should I continue to use Windows Media Connect (WMC) to stream video to my Xbox 360? Windows Media Connect can be used but is no longer supported outside of Windows Home Server. We strongly suggest people upgrade to Windows Media Player 11 or use the Zune software to receive the best experience for managing and streaming content to Xbox 360. 32. How can I get Windows Media Player 11 to stream MPEG-4 Part 2 and H.264 to my console? By default, Windows Media Player 11 does not support MPEG-4 Part 2 and H.264. Your first option is to install a 3rd party MP4 DirectShow decoder pack to import MPEG-4 part 2 and H.264 files into your library. Once they are in your library they can be streamed to your console and they can be played from within Windows Media Player 11 on your PC. An alternative approach is to rename all of your mp4 files to have an “.avi” file name extension.
