Windows Media Player won't stream video to Xbox 360
One of the more disappointing things about the Xbox 360 is its very limited streaming video options. Without hacking, it has only been possible to stream video from a Media Center PC, and even then, it has only supported Windows Media Video, MPEG and related formats (DivX and Xvid are not supported, for instance). While Microsoft does offer some streaming capabilities with Windows Media Connect for Windows XP, those are limited to music and picture playback and presentation in most configurations.
With this week's release of Beta 2 of Windows Media Player, Microsoft caused a little bit of excitement in the so-called blogosphere with this quote:
If you have a home network (wired or wireless), you can use Windows Media Player 11 to stream the contents of your library to networked devices. For example, if you have an Xbox 360 or other digital media receiver (DMR), you can use Windows Media Player to stream music, pictures, and videos from your computer to that device.
The upshot was that you could use WMP to stream video to an Xbox.
After seeing this touted at a few other sites, I decided to fact check it and drop Microsoft a line. The bad news is that it was an error on their part. While WMP does support Windows Media Connect for pictures and music, video is not supported.
Sorry for this bit of anti-news, but a few of you sent it in and I thought it merited clarification.

You know, as much as I hate the way everything in Media is being cross promoted every chance they get so they can shove shit down your throat and how much I've never liked playing media on game systems that weren't games....I must admit I'm kinda diggin' the Movie/TV part of the Marketplace. Sure, you can probaly get most of the trailers and promos on the Net, but then again downloading them to the 360 and having it right on your tv is great.
I just watched the Promo for Tina Fey's new show "30 Rock" and I gotta admit I'm kinda interested now. The Battlestar Galactica special they have on the Marketplace also has me interested in a show I knew about but didn't care to watch. I've also noticed Conan O'Brien's "If They Mated" segments for downlaod on MP too.
Love MS or hate MS I gotta admit they're the Kings of this kinda whoring out.

Hey now, i have been playing more Halo 2 lately due to the influx of people in our clan after the Bungie challenge. I've gotten to know some new pretty cool guys and a few of them will probably even play CoD with us sometime.
Besides, school has started up again and yeesh actually working takes up a good deal of my gaming time!
