Not sure if you can do it with media player but you can do it with tversity. It's free to download.

That works with the Xbox?

Yeah it works great. There's none of that messing around with codes and it can transcode videos on the fly so you can watch videos that Windows Media Player doesn't support.

Cool getting the hang of it.Able to steram youtube videos etc..any idea how to stream a p2p or any kinda of a match link?

Ok in tversity i added a media rss feed (http://127.0.0.1:8903/) <-Windows media player)..i then found it on the xbox 360 but it wont let me play it..any ideas?

127.0.0.1 is a loopback address given to the network interface on your computer. Your computers IP address would be something like 192.168.2.3 for example. If the stream is just a URL on the Internet I'd say the Internet Video option in Sources would be your best bet. I've never used it though so I'm just guessing.

You need VLC installed aswell if IIRC.

Then create a shortcut to VLC on your desktop (if there isn't already).

Right click on the VLC shortcut and put this in the 'Target' field :
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv http://127.0.0.1:8902/tv.asf --sout "#std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:1234}"

Open your stream in sopcast and wait for it to load.

Open your VLC desktop shortcut.

Open tversity and add this URL: mms://127.0.0.1:1234

That should work!

This didn't work with the latest version of VLC for me. There is an updated guide here http://www.brighthub.com/electronics/home-theater/articles/54231.aspx

Meh its not worth it...Too much buffering

Wow wasnt aware this was possible.

So basically I can watch a football match streamed on the internet and use the ethernet cable to get it onto the xbox - is this correct?

Is it this simple?
