Why is that? because I dont have either of those programs installed and I can stream WMVHD files just fine from my XP computer to my 360.
Can see other files, these just don't appear. Says no files found in the folder.
they are .WMV files. They are the ones you downlaad from the Windows website.
The bit rate is 6433kbps
It doesn't say the file extension, but says they are windows media audio/video files.
Just downloaded a few windows HD demos and sky HD demos and my 360 cant see them, just says files not there. Tried through video player and media centre, what am i missing?
Can stream my music and all other videos fine.
OK they are diffinately .WMV files...
That regsitry editing thing gave me a headache!
ok im all fixed
i had to do some registry editing :-(
i went to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
here you will see a list of all your file types
if one doesnt exist just create one
right click - (right click on HKEY FOLDER) then new key
If the file does exist find it
make sure u have the following key in the base of the folder for the file extension
PERCEIVEDTYPE REG_SZ video
if this does not exist then create it
right click on the file (i.e .wmv) and create new string
it will open a empty string in the right hand menu
name it PerceivedType (no spaces)
then enter
then open the string and give it the value : VIDEO
do this for all video formats you would like media center/360 to see
sorted
I did it, but havent tried it yet to see if it works. Not sure if it will help, as i can see my other .WMV files, just not my HD ones.
Awesome, I only just got round to this but it worked. Thanks Sib.![]()
One thing i wanted to do this for was to prove you can stream HD over wireless, as i have read several things saying you can't. But it works fine. Not noticed any lag or anything so far. So good news for anyone interested.
