Hi

I have an XBox 360 connected to my home Wi-Fi network. I can get to the internet and XBox Live no problem so I know that works. My router has a USB HDD connected to ti which it shares using SAMBA. I can connect to this wirelessly fine from my iPhone and
Windows PCs. Is there any way I can connect to this from the XBox without having to go via Windows?

Regards

Patrick

Streaming music videos??

I've just purchased the 12 month music pass which is great but I've encountered 2 small issues:

1. When I play a song my touchscreen displays the album art rather than the music video accompanying the song. How do I get to stream the music video for the selected song?

2. If I select the Top Songs option it only plays one song at a time which is extremely annoying. I'm looking for an option to just have the music streaming all day and work its way down through the Top Song list (200 songs when you select all genres). Is
there an option to just have the next song play automatically without having to create a playlist?

Cheers,

Newby

try installing the "optional media update" on the 360

[...] This is to stop people browsing videos on websites that let you watch for free [...]

Because the only sites that stream video are streaming illegal movies and whatnot?

Anyway, I'm having the same issue when streaming video. Every five minutes or so.

I know sometimes not a popular choice but what about Windows media centre?

[/quote]it's perhaps not the most lightweight, but it's certainly the most powerful, especially with some tweaking. iPlayer on Xbox? Already done through Media center.

Buy an ethernet cable really, they're dirt cheap... I don't stream stuff anymore, I just keep all my media on a USB HDD.
