Ahhh, the Intorw3b... someone beat me to it. I don't know if you've seen the /. article, but here's the link:

I'm sure there are control commands issued on the terminal that it opens (per Mike), but if we can at least get video going, we can worry about these later. I just hope the set-up key PITABoy mentioned doesn't cramp our style - that would suck if it was required for the xbox and back-end pc to even talk (sinking feeling starts)! Actually I just started playing with this a little bit, and was surprised (sort-of?) to see that the Xbox actually launches a terminal services session to the Media Center PC (there is a user created on the PC for this purpose when the Xbox Media stuff is installed). The session then must just launch ehshell, which is the blue Media Center screen. I haven't gotten a chance to play with it too much (like finding where the Media Center user's environment is being set), but for a little fun I'd like to get it to launch a browser on connect, instead of the MC shell. From there, there are a ton of possibilities.

For video currently the only way to stream is to have windows media center edition 2005. And as for the protocal that it uses it is UPnP. On the 360 there isn't very much that you can set up for video. you need to choose media center. After that you it says it's speal about why media center pc's are so good (yeah right). Continuing it gives you a media center setup key in the following format : ****-**** Press continue and it will tell you to go to www.xbox.com/pcsetup that is how you set it up but currently you need media center. :-( Hope that someone makes a mythtv plugin soon ;-) Hope that this helps, PITABoy On Sun, 2005-11-27 at 16:47 -0600, Charles Betzler wrote: > Hello, > I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the media center > features of the 360?
