Trying to get .iso to stream to my xbox360 with VLC

[drifter666]

Hi everyone, I'm sure this has been asked before but I cant find any answers. I feel that what I want to do is very simple, but for what ever reason I am unable to get it to work. What I am trying to do is play a dvd image in VLC media player and somehow stream it to either my xbox 360 or lg 47le5400 HDTV I did something with TVersity, VLC, and SopCast and got everything to work except the video playing on my xbox, I just get an unplayable format error.

I also thought of just mounting the iso and using windows media center but it cant find my xbox, I'm so frustrated its not even funny. What do I need to do to play my iso on either the xbox or tv I have every fireway turned off on my PC and they still cant find one another. The xbox finds my computer and all of my avi's just fine but media center will not work. and the tversity thing shows up in the video library in my xbox but no content gets threw.

I'm on an HP G60-235dx running windows 7 64bit with 4gb of ram

Please help thank you in advanced

media center will not work

Do you mean windows media center? You have to connect the two. Assuming you have a version of windows with windows media center on it you have to go into the connection screen (you have to go the windows media center tab on the xbox dashboard and start the connection process it will guide you from there - go to xbox.com or microsoft.com for more information) on the xbox while connected to your computer. You will get a conneciton code that you have to input on your computer - or maybe its the other way - its been a little while since I connected my xbox 360.

Since you can see files on your xbox that means you have sharing enabled and should have that feature configured properly.

As far as an iso streaming to the xbox I haven't tried that. You say you have tried tversity - is it updated to the latest version? Also I would give ps3mediaserver - yes it works with the 360 - or playon a try.

edit - also you say no content gets threw on tversity but the server shows up - have you added any folders in tversity to share? If you don't tell it what to share you wont' be seeing anything.

Media center cant find my xbox for what ever reason. and all I get with tversity is a bunch of .mp4's that i could already get without anything helping me, what i wanna do is play my .iso dvd backup on my TV without having to convert them to another format or burning them to disk. With tversity I cant get my folder for my .iso to show up on my xbox but i can get a folder full of .mkv and .mp4 to show up fine but when ever I try and play a .mkv it says unplayable content. I thought tversity made is possible to play formats 360 doesn't like.

I really want to just broadcast a signal from vlc over my home network to either my xbox or tv because vlc plays everything. I wish i could just update the freakin codecs on xbox360 it would make everything so much simpler

Buy a WDTV or similar - something that is designed to play ISO files - and use that instead.

VLC is not a DLNA server - it does IP to IP streaming only. PS3 Media may support VLC as an engine, but may have to spend some time in their forums to get it running.

Hi, sorry for bringing back an old thread but I felt its better than opening another one, I got everything working with ps3 media server, what I do is select an .iso file on my external thats plugged into my computer from my xbox and select the movie file uasually its something like 110mins there will be some other files with it that are all 1min long everything runs fine except the video is way to fast, sound is normal but video is too fast, I have tried google-ing it but cant find any way to fix this, any ideas?

not one person here can help me?

Probably a stupid question, but can't you simply burn the iso to a blank DVD and play it with your Xbox?

[drifter666]

i could do that but i dont want 200+ dvds floating around i figured this would be easier, an update i played a dvd i got from japan and if i use subtitles it runs perfectly fine

Can't you just mount the ISO using Virtual Clone Drive then stream it with whatever your Xbox likes?
