i have tried numerous programs such rivet , connect 360 can't seem them pick xbox on network can stream movies it. trying stream imac (wirelessly connected router) xbox 360 (connected via ethernet cable) when ever download app such rivet or connect360 cant pick connection xbox on network.
did research on connect360 , found pretty common not reliable sharing on wireless networks , more made direct ethernet (from imac xbox) reverted rivet, wont discover xbox either.
tips ? xbox running standard network settings, , have imac's sharing switched on.
i stream movies several "dlna compatible" tvs. streaming can done software on computer or movies can left sitting on shared folder , player goes , finds them. 1 program can run on computer stream content "plex". tried kept fans running time shut down. movies sit on network attached storage drive supports dlna. dlna is rather loose standard work done on player end , "server" merely network file server mac, pc or nas drive. means movies won't play if player doesn't support format or can't transcode them. use handbrake rip movies m4v format , work fine (after usual cat , mouse game studios put me through them ripped). can put dvd collection down in basement next 78 rpm record collection. no more diving remote bypass previews.
option streaming movies apple tv again have leave itunes running on mac. main reason haven't bothered atv yet. don't have run software on mac merely watch movies somewhere else in house. software load on xbox makes capable of playing movies on network. leave movies in shared folder on mac , xbox come , find them , play them. same dlna capable tvs work nas drive capable of seeing shared folders on macs.
