Media Extender

I tried to configure my xbox 360 to my PC.  On the end of the xbox it tells me that I am connected to the network and the PC.  When I look at the set of words that I installed it is said that the Extender is set up but is not available.  On my TV the screen says I was offline PC based media, I want to reconnect. I tried to change the firewall.  I have used norton at first and now I use windows firewall.  Very frustrating because I used before on the same PC. Vista Home Pre.  Thanks for ANYONES help!

  • Problems adding our HP Media Extender for Windows Media Center

    Hello, we have about 15 HP Media Extenders (MEX) laying around the place, connected to 2 x Win 7 computers laptops and 1 x Vista desktop, all running Windows Media Center.

    Previously, the MEXs all the connected without problems on the computers in the library, but for some reason, they do not want to connect now.  What happened was I uninstalled all MEXs on the Vista computer as they were all saying disabled and did not know how to enable them again, so I thought that all delete and just add.

    But the thing was, I did not add that Vista Media Centre, outside of the Xbox 360.  But I managed to add a bit of MEXs in other media Centres.  I also noticed there is a Media Center W7 which seems to be able to add when the other two cannot.  The error messages I received were: "an error occurred during the configuration of your computer with the Extender" or "Unable to Find Media Extender.

    I'm not under a firewall on all computers, or the other.

    Sorry if I missed any information.  Thank you for your help.

    Hello Arthur k. Keola Jr.,.

    Looks like you have tried very hard to gather information about the configuration of a Media Center Extender. you don't mention if you use XBox as a media center extender, but I guess you are, as it is the most popular. If this isn't the case, then please let us know the device you're using.

    I have gathered some information and tutorials on the scenario.

  • Computer Xbox 360 Media Extender and Windows 7 do not 'see' each other

    I had been successfully streaming from my PC content (32-bit) of Windows 7 to my XBox 360 (60 GB HD) since late 2009.  They are connected by Ethernet 100 Mbit/s via a 100 Mbps 3Com switch unmanaged and a Siemens ADSL gateway/router with a switch to 4 ports.  I use not media Extender functionality every day.  Its more like I use it for a week (after I have come back from vacation and want to see my photos and videos), so I use it for about 2-3 months.  Everything I do is press the green button on my remote to turn on the XBox and connect to Windows 7 Media Center.  I don't even bother to turn on my PC like the XBox, it wakes up for me (love it!)

    I modified it used successfully in mid-December 2010, but when I tried to use it again on 28 Dec XBox stated that he could not find the Windows Media Center computer.  I ran the diagnostics of XBox with no luck.  The XBox can detect and connect to my laptop (also under Windows 7 and is connected via WiFi), but it does not detect my PC.

    On my PC, the Extender both in the window "Devices and printers", in Media Center, presented with an exclamation icon and a message saying that the Extender is set up but can not be found.

    The only thing I changed on my PC since the last time the Extender has worked:

    (1) I removed the password on my user account

    (2) I turned off password protected sharing

    I noticed that some security updates have been implemented as well.

    Even if my laptop (that the XBox can still detect) was already configured with no user password and no password protected sharing, I reversed manually these settings on my PC.  This did not help.

    I tried an article that describes the removal of the certificate and add the Extender - no change.

    I tried to disable the firewall of Windows (the only firewall installed on my computer) and Microsoft Security Essentials, as long as my agent for LogMeIn - no change.

    Fortunately, I still had a restoration which dates back to the changed Extender worked, and restored at this point.  The Extender has worked once more... for a few weeks.  I thought that the problem would be back because I didn't really know what caused it in the first place.

    When the problem is back, I read a lot of articles, including those on this forum.  Some suggest specific problems with Asus computers equipped with software installed at the factory, creating a problem, or fingerprint scanners or memberships of domain.  None of them apply to me.  My PC worked loyally with the XBox as I first put in place in late 2009.

    So I went more drastic.  Two weeks ago, I rebuilt the PC from scratch.  I have not yet installed as much software as it was originally - just the basics like Office, Acrobat Reader, Picasa, iTunes, Java, Flash, Google Earth and LogMeIn...  Of course the Extender reworked... twice.  The next time I tried to use it, it wouldn't.

    I tried several restore points - this time, none of them brought the feature.

    Of course, thanks to all this the XBox can still detect my laptop which has also received updates from the Windows Update service (if only my laptop could host all of my pictures and videos...).  My laptop also has the same software, including the firewall of Windows, Microsoft Security Essentials, LogMeIn, etc...)

    This makes me think of something on the Windows 7 PC is blocking incoming or outgoing (or both) types of communication to the XBox.  What kind of diagnostic tools could use to figure out what is the cause.  If I have to sniff the network, what I'm looking for?

    I have reviewed the issue of abandonment and just buying a NAS that supports the XBox Media Extender, but:

    (a) none of the products in my price range offer the features AND performance, I want to

    (b) why should I have to?  He worked for nearly a year, and this feature must be a utility "solid."

    Thank you...

    Hi Umesh,

    Thank you for you answer.  I had already read the article you recommended, but I saw her again (especially step 3) to ensure that I had done everything I could.  There is no recommendation in this article that applied to me, or had already been tried.

    I took another look on my laptop that the 360 can detect and noticed that he was not part of a homegroup, but offered to join the homegroup organized by my Media Center PC.  I was surprised because before the reconstruction and after reconstruction, I don't remember setting up a homegroup.  Of course a homegroup has been partially install (he said my I had no libraries selected for sharing).

    I left the homegroup, and this restored PC allows my Media Center to 'see' the XBox 360 media extender.  My problem is solved (for now).

  • Can I use my laptop as a media extender?

    I know that I can stream TV recorded to another pc using the options of streaming media player. But I want to know is can I use my laptop as a media extender?

    I want to be able to launch Windows Media Center on the laptop, I it would launch on XBOX for example in the same way. And then use the same way I would use it on XBOX.

    IF not, why? This looks like a pretty good idea to me. Can someone enlighten me?

    Hello

    Welcome to the community of Windows Vista answers.

    I'm afraid that you can't add your laptop as an Extender. Extender technology is integrated with some of your favorite such as televisions, DVD players, home entertainment devices and cool and quiet devices that fit comfortably with your other components home cinema. We call these "Extender for Windows Media Center" devices.

  • 1290 error when you try to install Media Center extender for X 360 in Win7 Pro x 64

    OK, here's one for someone who knows Win7 Kernel internals.

    I am trying to connect my XBox 360 to my PC MC with Windows 7 Pro x 64. When I type the code 8 digits of the Xbox in Media Center, I get an error "Setup." Check the system error log, I found that it was a failure of the Media Extender service to start. Stop of is an error 1290, that says "service start failed because one or more services in the same process have a service SID inconsistent type parameter.» SID type has something to do with the core permissions or somesuch. WAY out of my League.
    The only thing that I could find online is that this error occurs sometimes in what concerns the time Service Windows, and that a registry edit to fix it. I tried a similar "fix" on this service registry entry, but it had no effect on this error, so I changed the return register.
    Someone has an idea of what I might try next? I did all the standard things that are recommended for problems of Media Extender, including uninstalling and reinstalling all components of media. Re-installation of Windows is NOT an option at this stage, this computer is used by all my children, and there would be a mutiny if he became unavailable for a long period of time (especially for as "lame" reason like this). I'd really listen to my media to my XBox. I hope that someone with some knowledge of the works of this service lies this question one day.

  • Printer XAU2511 media

    Hi - The Powerline XAU2511 controls the printer very well, but the PC on which I have installed the Media Extender software (actually as a control center called USB installed) must be on the printer to operate on the network. It's no different from before, because the printer can still be accessed via the PC network it was connected to.

    We have a 'true' network printer that is independent of the PC and can be accessed by any of them with every other PC off. It is a true network printer.

    I'm doing something wrong?

    Thank you

    The answer is in the full manual, but unfortunately not in the user's guide. The Media Extender (USB Control Center) software must be installed on each PC to solve the problem.

  • When you use Windows Media Center on the Xbox 360 DVD have not given chapter.

    After finally finding many questions I have my Xbox Media Extender and running upward and only this question left.

    I'm ripping my DVD to single file .vob she seems to like and plays very well, but it is only with the file movie and nothing else in the record.  How the XBOX sees it, the bed and he plays very well.  However I have no control outside the break and if I restart it takes over the job.

    Now if I rip my DVD with the .bup .ifo files in this folder the XBOX instantly he shoots in the list of the DVD and it will not play.

    When I use Windows Media Center on my PC it preforms even when the film is in the folder.  Then when I add bup and ifo data I can still play, but he has all data in the chapter that I need.  Shows all the chapters, allows me to jump as I please.

    How can I get my XBOX to behave like my PC?  I have to remove these 4 files in/out of the folder to see pop in and out of my list of XBOX.  How can I get the XBOX to validate data, so my movies actually have chapters and ignore the controls?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hello, wilsman00

    As mentioned, by changing the VOB files, the data in the chapter are probably damaged. This can be confirmed by putting in a retail DVD in the drive and play directly from the DVD.

    Hope this helps ;) I know that it is a complicated process and I understand the House will network computers running the Media Center. If you click on the following link, you should be able to determine if you have any problems of compatibility http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/troubleshoot/media-center-faq.aspx

    I strongly recommend to contact Xbox customer service because they have a specialized department set up just to manage customers to help with the implementation and use of the Media Center/Media Extender services available.

    However, here is an overview of some of the basics to have this work:

    Some with Media Center PC/Windows versions are:

    • Windows 7 Home Premium or full, professional edition
    • Windows Vista Ultimate or Home Premium
    • Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

    Once the media center is installed on the pc, you must configure the xbox as a Media Extender and authorizes.

    Finally, you need to add a network share connection between your console and your pc. This process can be a little intimidating, once again, I recommend that you contact customer service with the help of an expert in the Media Center .

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

    Any help would be really appreciated!
