TVersity 0.9.9.2 is out

Mayshine

Great news - apparently it solves the annoying bug regarding dropping the last 30 seconds of transcoded video as well as a bunch of other fixes

Going to give it a go now

Yup, tried it last night and that issue has been resolved meaning TVersity is now sooo much more useful. Another issue has sprung up for me now though, but I'm not sure if it's just me having the problem.

Whenever any video ends it doesn't go back to the dashboard, but instead the Xbox 360 locks up and has to be rebooted. I'm gonna try again later to see if it keeps happening.

do all videos have to be in the wmv format to play em on the 360?

Same problem here.

Still having the same problem here. I've posted in a thread that's open on their forums about it so hopefully they'll check it out soon. For the moment I'm having to either reboot each time or else manually STOP it before the video ends.

but you need a pretty speedy cpu to transcode on the fly - i cant even do xvid -> wmv 640 x 480 on my crappy core solo boo!

Kur4mA

Yeah true, you do need a fairly hefty processor to transcode on the fly. I'm using an Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+ here and it handles it quite easily.

i cant connect my 360 to tversity. Have tversity running on pc, opened port 41952 on the windows firewall and enabled UPnP on the router (ZyXel Prestige 660HW-61).
Should i allow the following as well:
Allow UPnP to pass through Firewall

Any other suggestions???

Fanboy

I had to turn off windows firewall to get this working

Scruff

Got it working. Expicitly added port 41952 for udp and tcp on windows firewall.
Can you only view the videos by going to media->videos on the xbox?
Would be nice if you could view the folders that are shared rather than just a huge list.
Running at max 740x480 and it looks pretty damn good.
must try some higher 16:9 resolutions

I got an old chip an AMD 2200+ and it does it on the fly ok most of the times :P I do really need to upgrade tho.

The only problem im having with mine is now towards the end of what im watching it kinda stutters if that makes sense.. the picture freezes but the sound is ok. not sure if its to do with myset up tho.

Hi Folks,

I.t. proficiant I am not.

Quick question. I have my xbox360 rigged up to my laptop (windows media connect) and the laptop to my router. I have loads of video and audio files in my shared folder. The xbox plays the audio from the folder no prob but when I search for the video it isnt showing up. The video is mainly .avi or .wmv, is there a simple way to make them show up or will I have to download tversity and connect through that.

Thanks in advance for any replys.

Go with TVersity. Even if you manage to get it working with Windows Media Connect, as far as I know, it will only play .wmv files. TVersity will play them all. Give it a go, it's a nice piece of software.

Kyub, in case you haven't seen this on the TVersity forum yet, you can get around this problem by pressing the XBox button to return to the dashboard, rather than pressing back. Not ideal, but it saves rebooting.

Yep I spotted it there last week. TVersity is now working perfectly for me, and I've watched movie files as large as 800mb with no issue whatsoever via my Wireless network. It really is a brilliant piece of software, mainly due to the guys behind it working so hard with updates and bug fixes. :cool:

Does TVersity work on Vista 64bit?

Julez

Is TVersity better than transcode360?! Or is it a matter of preference?

Transcode is used if your using Media Center. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think tversity can be used in Media Center, just the standard 360 media player. In any case I think transcode is better as (again correct me if i'm wrong) I don't think tversity is capable of fast forwarding.

Let me answer my own question. Just set it up on my Home Premium x64 machine (Athlon X2 4400+) and it works a treat. The only thing missing is the functionality to fast forward and rewind the video and of course the annoyance of all the vids being in a flat list and not in folders. I can live with that though!
