TVersity, a start-up company located in New Jersey, announced today that the latest version of its TVersity Media Server features on the fly WMV transcoding for the Xbox 360.

"We are very excited to allow owners of the Xbox 360 to easily overcome the video playback limitations of this device", said Ronen Mizrahi, President of TVersity Inc., "With TVersity they can, for the first time, access video files in formats not natively supported by the Xbox 360 (like Divx/Xvid and H.264), play Internet TV channels of their choice, and access video podcasts and RSS feeds (from YouTube, Yahoo, Google and many more) -- All this without requiring a Media Center PC!"

The latest build of (Version 0.9.9.1) TVersity's media server can be downloaded from....

OP Note - I havent tried it, so I am wondering if it has worked for anyone. And if so, this is GREAT NEWS for 360 owners.

EDIT - Just got it working. Make sure the ports are open for it (41952). Then what I did was goto the Options Page for 360, then Computer... Disconnect your current and then search for it once again. Instead of it being it was TVersity

Here is a good guide as well.

i tried it but can't get it to work.

i disabled my WMP 11's sharing, disconnected from the PC [ from the 360 ], and still nothing.

I got it working but how do I get rid of all of the preloaded stuff.

It's showing 1116 things on my list and barely any of them are mine

Go to the RSS Feeds. Delete the Video/Audio/Music ones..... I brought it down to 450..

Got it working and transcoding works fine.

Also, Transcode360 is an awesome piece of software. I personally use that and it literally cannot get any easier.

i got it to work, although *.avi files don't work. and since it's streaming, you can't skip around.

damn, all I have are avi. no rewinding and fast forwarding sucks too...I usually have to do that when watching anime and the subs change too fast.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

I want easier transcoding... this one is too much of a hassle.
