Vista Media Center and my Xbox 360 extender connection

• 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.

  Disable the anti-virus software

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If this does not resolve the problem, you can try to clear the cache on the Xbox Console and check if that helps. Follow the link given below to clear the cache.

• I can't configure windows media center in my xbox 360 s. My pc is not as visible in the console while my desktop is visible.

  original title: don't Set Up Extender

  PC: HP Pavilion dv7

  OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

  Console: Xbox 360 s

  Router: Linksys WRT160Nv3

  I can't configure windows media center in my xbox 360 s. My pc is not as visible in the console while my desktop is visible. I tried all the suggestions available in the internet on the topic. Still, I can not connect my PC and Xbox 360. Windows Security Essentials and spy doctor PC Tools are installed in my PC.

  Found the problem, at least for me anyway.  I had to disable my internet connection shared on my Windows 7 computer.  Once I disabled internet sharing it worked like a charm.

• 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.

• Vista Media Center loses tv recording titles

  I just opened my Vista Media Center and - despite my existing TV accessible and playable records - most of them have lost their title information and description of the program. Only program time and the recording time is displayed.

  I checked the "raw" files on my hard drive and they are all ok.

  Any ideas how to retrieve the details?

• How to stop the indexing of media files in Windows Media Center Xbox 360 extender?

  I have successfully set up the Xbox 360 Windows Media Center and attaches it to a machine Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on the same LAN segment.  It works fine, except that he rebuilt his index from scratch, apparently file whenever it is launched on the Xbox.  Specifically, if the Xbox is turned off and then turned back on, and WMC on that is launched, the files in the folder of the Windows 7 machine media library are indexed again).  This makes WMC on Xbox almost unusable, because it forces you to wait a long time for the UI to become sensitive, whenever it is launched after turning on the Xbox.

  This doesn't seem to be a network problem, as I've reconfigured it all the senses (wired and wireless), network setting tool reports always excellent results, and once the index file is rebuilt files media play very well.

  I tried to reduce the number of files in the files of 'library' of the media on the Windows 7 machine and were reduced to a single folder in which the files do not change (that is, the files are added, deleted or changed between Xbox WMC launches).

  This behavior is normal?  Is it possible to change it?  I can't find the settings on the Xbox that control it.

  The local network segment is on the Internet, and the Windows 7 machine had all updates applied from the time of this post.  The Xbox is the new Xbox 360 4 gig, with more than 2 GB of free space on the internal memory and another 8 GB of free space on MU.
