• The xbox 360 Media Player no longer plays music after that I upgraded my CPU. Error message: media sharing service has been terminated

  Original title: the xbox 360 Media Player plays more music after I upgraded my CPU

  I have Vista 64 SP2.  The service runs for 5 seconds and then I get the message that she stopped. He was works well for years (my Xbox 360 sharing), I'm guessing he stopped a few weeks ago after I put in a slightly faster processor. I watched a some tech posted and tried to run the program which seeks the corrupted system files, but the only files that it could not pay had to do with the sidebar Windows. I have removed and put back my media extender, I thought that it worked because I've seen (from my xbox) miniature images, videos and music counting upward, as they have been added and I could see them. But if I take one he freezes for a few seconds and then says the media sharing service took end (or something like that). Then, I go to my PC and see that it stops. I can restart, but it only lasts for 5 to 10 seconds.

• Windows Media Center extender on my XBOX works initially, but not after reboot of my XBOX. Error: Failed to connect to the Xbox 360 could not connect to the windows Media Center computer.

  It's VERY odd and very annoying!

  I set up my laptop next to my Xbox 360 with an Ethernet cable directly connecting the laptop to the XBOX, and the laptop is on our wireless network. The XBOX has access to the internet (shared through the laptop), and when I test the PC connection and the connection XBOX Live sound fine to all.

  So I'll try to set up Windows Media Center, it works great! I "Add Extender", put the code to 8 digits. It passes through the installation, all works, no problems and WMC opens on the XBOX, I can go into my library, watch movies etc... works great!

  However! As soon as I turn my XBOX off and back on, it will fail to connect to the WMC.

  He says his 'find Windows Media Center PC' which seems to work fine, it goes to the ' Windows Media Center loading screen "contact...". ", and after about 10 seconds, I get an error"failed to connect the Xbox 360 could not connect to windows Media Center PC. Make sure that the PC is turned on and connected to the network.

  I tried to configure the Extender repeatedly, whenever it works fine until I restart the XBOX... :/ - and its strange cause I still the internet connection (shared through the laptop) after turning on the XBOX, its really JUST Media Center which is screwing around.

  She continues to keep trying to connect then repeatedly fails.

  If I wanted to, I could re-configuration the WMC Extender EVERY TIME turn off the Xbox, which works the first time without fault, but that's all just stupid.

  I can't really understand what is happening here... any help would be appreciated.

• Windows Media Center on the xbox 360 extender Feezes

  Hello

  I have recently updated from windows vista to windows 7 and now can't use my xbox as an Extender as it freezes when opening on my xbox.

  I looked through many forums that suggest that it freezes before the opening, for example to connect to the computer, my problem happens after it connects.

  I turned off my firewall and now only have the windows firewall, which apparently must allow the connection.

  The only other difference is that I bought 2 powerline adapters both capable of speeds of 200 Mbps, so I don't see why they should cause problems.

  Any help would be appreciated. My computer knowledge is not really great, but will try all of the suggestions.

  Hi Mattlucas1976,

  You can also check the firewall and security settings. Sometimes they interfere in the connections. Try to disable them temporarily and check if you are able to connect to wireless internet. Later do reactivate and try to change the settings for the same thing.

• Satellite A300-1OM - Media sharing with XBox 360

  I'll have some real problems share my media with my Xbox 360 using my home wireless network.

  I used to connect my 360 to the internet via internet sharing with my laptop connected via Ethernet. I now borrow a wireless adapter for the 360 that still lets connect me to the internet on the 360, but I can no longer access my portable music library or find a PC Windows Media Centre when searching for the network on my 360.

  My laptop is running Windows 7 64 bit. When I display 'network' appears from my own laptop, my second laptop computer connected to the network is also shown, and the 360 is also indicated in the devices section of media. Under 'Options of Streaming Media' my 360 is also listed and given full access to my portable media.

  When my laptop is connected directly to my 360 via Ethernet the music library and video library works great, like Windows Media Center.

  Anyone know of any solution to this problem? I guess it will just be a problem with some settings on my laptop as opposed to a problem with my Xbox. Any advice much appreciated!

  Hey bradleyheap,

  To be honest it is very difficult to answer your question. In my opinion, you should ask question biotechnology in Xbox forum o somewhere else. I think that it is not related to Toshiba

  Anyway, if everything works with the LAN cable, you should check the firewall options. Try turning off the Windows Firewall and update the driver WLAN from your laptop.

  Sorry, but everything that s what I can say at the moment.

• Set up Media Center using Xbox 360 as Extender fails - HELP!

  I use Windows 7 64 b Assus laptop and the new version of the Xbox 360 as a media center extender on a network home wifi elapse a router Linksys E4200.  I have Norton Internet Security (v18.6.0.29) and the standard Windows Firewall on my laptop.  I have configure manually all ports right on the Norton firewall as described in the Article ID: 911728 - last review: February 16, 2010 - revision: 6.0 entitled "Firewall Ports that must be open to use your Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender.  I get throughout the series until the last step.  Both the Xbox and the laptop appear to expire and I get an error message on the xBox that says:

  COMPLETED CONNECTION: "the Xbox 360 has been disconnected from the PC Media Center.  For technical support, visit Microsoft Support at http://support.microsoft.com".

  If I do nothing, the Xbox will attempt to restart the connection three times until I'm finally getting a message that says:

  "Xbox 360 could not connect to the Windows Media Center computer. Turn on your Xbox 360 console off and then on again and try to connect again"

  I did this several times without success. I also disabled my firewall from Norton and my Windows Firewall but still no further.  The Media Center on the laptop says it is installed and ready to use and I do not see my laptop under video library on the Xbox, but when I choose what it I get an error message that says:

  "Unable to connect. Make sure that you have activated this console on your computer.

  I copied the last entries in the log events below that shows the last attempt I made to configure the Extender. You will see a newspaper where the Extender and successfully it implements and then several error messages that I can't understand.

  The last five entries are exactly the same as above.  During this attempt, I had turned on the Firewall Norton back after that defining carefully all the rules required by the above mentioned article.  The results are the same if I have the active firewall or disabled - just says error message the connection has expired when the firewall is disabled.

  I hope someone can help me with this - I have spent all day trying to solve this and I'm at the end of my rope.

  OK, so I spent all morning pour on my router configs without success and then realized that my drive mapping had stopped working when I updated to my current router E4200.  So I double checked all configs in Windows file sharing and realized that I had activated password sharing which prevented the player sharing between my laptop and my laptop children without creating the same user accounts on each box.  Who sets and I was able to get my shared drives. Then I pulled upward to Media Center again and got exactly the same answer as before.  I thought I was really puzzled but thought I would try and open shared files, I could see on my Xbox AND THIS TIME IT WORKED!  It must have been the password of sharing that prevented the connections between the Media Center on my laptop and Xbox and he disguised himself as a firewall or setting a timeout problem that led me down the wrong path.

  Thanks for the suggestion check the router settings.  I would not have thought to double check my disk sharing settings otherwise.
