Am looking into playing as much media as possible on my 360, as i am moving into a new house, and i'm not allowed to mount my sat dish on the house, and im not paying virgin media for tv, as i still have a sky sub...
so, Sky player on my 360 works fine, but i would like bbc iplayer, itv, 4od etc to work. I have downloaded many a plugin for my win 7 media centre, and can watch that fine on my PC with 'TunerFree' by millisoft, however when trying to watch anything on the 360, it wont play, and just says "extender mode"
I know i can download iplayer files and play them by doing the following:
- Download the BBC IPlayer Download manager
- Select the programme and download
- Go to the settings in the download manager and copy the location that the downloads are stored, something like: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Videos\My Deliveries\iplayer_live
- Go to WMP and Add to Library > Add
- Paste above location which should be added
- Go to videos on 360 and the iplayer_live should show and will contain your downloaded videos, all in WMV format
However I want to be able to stream if at all possible, and preferably through media centre... That being said, beggars cant be choosers, so anyway of playing on demand services through my xbox would be great!!!
