• Xbox 360 scan windows media center for the new music?

  I just added some new music to my windows media center and the music does not appear on my xbox 360. is there a way to synchronize?

  Hi nwills,

  Ideally, the Xbox 360 should automatically scan if new music is added to Windows Media Center. However, you can also manually synchronize as follows.

  a: you can connect the Xbox. The Xbox Dashboard, select 'My Xbox', then select 'Windows Media Center' to receive the eight-digit code. This code allows your Xbox to recognize your media player on your computer.

  b. you can set up Windows Media Center on your PC. Click on the "tasks" and select "Add Extender". A screen will appear asking you to enter the eight digit of your Xbox 360 code.

  c. play music on your Xbox. Select 'Windows Media Center' in the menu 'My Xbox' and start playing music.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• How do I share files on Xbox 360 without Windows Media Player or 3rd Party applications

  Windows 7 sharing media files to the xbox 360 without media player

  I know that I can use Media Player 12 in windows 7 to share files on xbox 360 using the libraies, but I used to be able to share without media player and I would like to be able to do it again, but I can't seem to get my shared folders will appear on xbox. I don't know if I need to use folders to share public or not, but someone has all the answers on this for me?

  I use my xbox 360 to watch the video content streamed from my PC pretty much every night through a continuous connection to the xbox. You do not need Media Player or any other 3rd party application to video media IF THEY ARE THE RIGHT SIZE for a XBOX, you just need the PC configured for videos, turned on and networked with the xbox

  It is simple and quick, and depending on the content, there are two methods that I use:

  (1) as Etzel42 has described - in Windows 7 Control Panel > network and sharing Center, go to Advanced sharing > Media Streaming, select "chose the flowing media options...» ». If the Xbox 360 is running and put in place on the same (Local) network as the PC it will be displayed here but the value "blocked." Just change "Authorized" and click ok. (If you do not see the Xbox 360 listed here then the Xbox and PC cannot see each other on the network. You must address this issue before anything else).

  Once that streaming media is running, the video files you want to share with the Xbox is in addition to your video library. This can be done in en allant going to the computer, right-click on the 'Vidéos' library, go to 'Properties', then include the video or files to share. As a double check that all video files are available for the Xbox, open Media Player and see if he can see all the files/folders that you added. Close Media Player now, you do not need it works for watching videos on the xbox

  Now, go to the Xbox, go to the dashboard in my Xbox and video library. You should see the name of your PC as a selection. Open it and then open the folders that you added to PCs video shops and once again, if media files are in the right play on the Xbox, watch now format!

  (2) configure the Xbox Extender and Windows Media Center, and then run Media Center on the Xbox, this will allow you to play any kind of media format on the Xbox that you can play on the PC. It is ideal to play the Xbox formats cannot be opened natively too, it's pretty darn picky.

  In both methods you have not need of any application is running on the PC. Simply be turned on and available for the Xbox via the network. The Xbox will do the rest. In fact, one nice feature of the library on the Xbox 360 is that if your PC is in standby (Sleep), Media Center will wake up the PC.

• Order a decoder DTA50 via Windows Media Center with an infrared transmitter/receiver Catherine-IR01

  Recently I had to get a DTA50 to continue to get the channels should I get, so I can watch TV through my WinTV TV tuner. The problem is that the decoder is not connected directly to the computer, so I can't control it like this. I have a Catherine-IR01 transceiver and an IR control cable, which is connected to the transceiver. Windows Media Center, says it can't detect the IR hardware. Can someone tell what I am doing wrong?

  I am unable to apply the change to the inf, I get an error saying that I can't make it writable. I have this play as an administrator, but can not modify or replace the .inf files.

  Edit: Zero I could get around a bit by saving the input.inf file in a separate folder by copying and replacing in the inf folder. However, there is no file irbus.inf to edit, neither is it a medctroc.inf file.
  Edit 2: OK, problem cleared up. It turns out that the problem was that it was misunderstanding my WinTV card double tuner as having two ties from boxes, and as such only found a single piece of hardware IR operation.

• How to run the Xbox 360 via the port monitor on Qosmio G20

  I just bought an Xbox 360 on eBay with a VGA cable which must connect the console directly to the port external monitor on my Qosmio, theoretically allowing me to use the screen on my laptop as screen for my video games.

  I'm just a little worried that this port at the back of my Qosmio is technically to connect another monitor, not an input device, so it will work? And if so, how do I do?

  I intend to spend a little time DIY autour with it when the console gets, but I guess it should be as simple hanging everything and then do it through media library or even simply initialize the TV itself rather than with the laptop everything?

  Ideas, ideas, tips or advice (especially if you did before or know someone who has) would be appreciated.

  A similar topic has already been discussed here in the forum. I recommend you research a bit.

  Since the update to Windows 8, I'm having problems with streaming of media to my Xbox 360.

  Previously, I had windows 7 and has been able to stream multimedia content (movies and music), or via the Media Center windows, or by connecting to my PC via the Xbox drive and folder navigation.
  Since the update to Windows 8 Media Center not connecting, he used even together upwards. I enter the 7 digit code set up and my computer says it cannot establish a connection. I tried to connect to my PC through the Xbox and when it can not connect.
  In the list of devices, the Xbox is displayed and even so capricious it shows that the Xbox is online and I am able to stream on my 360 using the video app and selecting "send to device" and selecting the 360. Unfortunately, this will randomly cut everything playing and yesterday would not work?

  Copy and beyond music in your cloud files, this makes select all your music and right click on the files you want to play or your xbox. Scroll down and select the option 'include in the library', and then click music.

  As says Peteanon go to windows medial player and make sure that the name of your xbox is checked, and then click Next until you get a password to get into your local network share there are three pages. When you reach the last click on print password and instructions. Follow the instructions on how to configure a password sharing between your xbox and pc.

  for the last two days that I had a connection problem after that I followed this method my music perfectly.

  Note: I have an xbox 360 and I am sure that it will work with the xbox one, but it should make note.
