Pushing media from a Mac to the X Box?
« on: December 31, 2011, 07:10:29 pm »

Heya,

I was wondering if anyone was aware of how to watch videos on my Mac through the xbox, so that I can see it on my tv?

Window Media Player, isn't comptable with OSX, 10.7. I'm aware of Connect360 and Playback, but I'm eternally broke.

XBMC doesn't support the 360 anymore, and its spin off that still does support the Xbox, requires you to mod it. My xbox is still under its extended warranty, so I'm unwilling to do that.

Spoiler: In before the mac hate (click to show/hide)

They're loose files. I got an Amazon Cloud account, I can use that. iTunes, doesn't really like it if you use videos outside of the iTunes store.

Stuff like the PS3 Media Server should work - it's java based and despite the name doesn't just support PS3. http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/

Neat.

I also found TVMobili, which seems pretty straight forward.
