Hi All

Has anyone had any experience with XBOX 1 and Vista under the following scenarios.

- using Vista as a Media file server for XBMC
- using Vista with the official XBOX Media Centre Extender software (not 360)

I'd be interested to know if anyone has found any issues.
Thanks

Current word is that none of the v1 extenders (including Xbox Media Center extender) will work with Vista - currently the only option with Vista is to buy a 360 :-(

However I don't have Vista myself so unable to confirm this for definate (or the XBMC part)

Yep, I have been using XBMC with Vista for a while...they have recently fixed a problem that stopped SMB file access, so its all good now!! Can connect via SMB share or uPnP.

Cheers for the info

I have 2x XBOX1's…so if I upgrade my HTPC to Vista - XBMC will be fine but MCX (used for live tv) will fail…

So it looks like I'll be running XP-MCE for a while yet…
Unless I find another solution….(my wallet is feeling lighter already..!)
