    Using Xbox360 as a Media Center Extender, Adjusting skip intervals


    I have been using several Xbox 360 consoles as my set top boxes with Windows Media Center (Windows 7, 64 bit).

    I can change the skip forward and skip back with the following two regedit values:

    HKEY_CURRENT_ USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\VideoSettings\SkipAheadInterval

    HKEY_CURRENT_ USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\VideoSettings\InstantReplayInterval

    These values work with Windows Media Center running on the primary Windows machine, but do not affect the Xbox 360 consoles running as Windows Media Center Extenders.

    Is there a way to change the skip intervals on the Xbox 360 Media Extenders?

    :)

    Does the new Media Remote work well with Media Center Extender?

    The new Media Remote (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Xbox360/Accessories/Controllers/Xbox360MediaRemote) doesn't specify that it works with Media Center Extender. Obviously you could use the built-in A,B,X,Y buttons to control Media Center, but those buttons
    are so confusing and unintuitive. I'd buy the remote if I knew that it had controls that make sense (e.g. hit the FF button to fast forward, the Skip button to skip forward, the Menu button to go to the Media Center menu, etc). Does anyone know how well
    this remote works with Media Center Extender?

    Media Center is for when you're using the Xbox as a Media Center Extender, when connected to a PC running Windows Media Center. Using Xbox360 as a Media Center Extender, Adjusting skip intervals :)

    having trouble setting up windows media center.

    Yeah, you are right on it being visually turned off, when you block it in Network and Sharing, But the Media Center Extender uses it's own software, that installs & uses a secondary sub-script via Media Streaming & it shows in the Registry & has it's own
    CLSID + it is active in Services... Once you click turn Media Streming On, it will show the Xbox360 Media Extender & you Cannot remove the Extender while you are connected to Windows Media Center on your Xbox360... So it is using the Media Streaming Function
    from Windows Media Player etc.. Leaving Media Streaming Turned on will quicken the search time in the registry...

    [quote user="NanoTechSoldier"]That's why, you follow the steps I mentioned about turning Media Streaming on in Windows 7 via WMP[/quote]WMP and Media Center Extender are not related.
    & it shows the Xbox360 extender... You NEED Media Streaming turned
    on
    Windows Media Player
    streams over port 10245, 443, and a random external port    . Windows Media Center requires a

    whole host of ports    , none of which are port 10245.
    @ low-level OS coding
    Gibberish.
    & Windows Media Player is a part of Windows Media Center
    No, it's not. It's a separate executable.
    How do you think you watch videos in
    Windows Media Center....??????
    Playing a video is not the same as running a Media Extender.

    Talk to IceStorm III that keeps on going of course....

    I will say this though... If your Xbox360 connects to the Internet via RJ45 or Wireless N, your Xbox360 extender should have NO problems connecting to your PC...

    1. Open Windows Media Center on your Xbox360.. (It will look for your PC)

    2. Select "Setup a New Connection" from the list on screen..

    3. Keep on selecting Continue, until you see an 8 Digit Code to the right of screen.. (xxxx-xxxx)

    4. Open Windows Media Center on your PC..

    5. Go to the "Tasks Tab" under the TV Tab & Click on "Add Extender"

    6. Click enter & type the 8 Digit Code from the Xbox360..

    7. Wait until Windows Media Center, Configures & Authorizes your Xbox360 Extender & syncs it to your PC..

    8. Click Finish & both your Xbox360 & PC should be in Windows Media Center..

    9. Follow the Steps in Windows Media Center, to add Music, Movies or Pictures to your WMC Library..

    Move on IceStorm III, as you know squat about it & IPv4 / 6 is used for ANY communication with LAN Devices, Including WiFi.....
