    Hi All,

    Normally I use my xbox to connect to a NAS to watch videos, normally it works perfectly but recently I've noticed that my Xbox isn't picking up on the media content and if I change content of the drive it doesn't always update when I view it, any ideas on how to make my Xbox update it more frequently.

    For what's it worth the same thing happens when I connect to PCs that are shared through Media Centre

    I use TVersity on the PC and it has an option to refresh the folders.

    Yeah, TVersity is probably the best media server for the 360. It's free to download, simple to use and you can manually refresh the library or individual folders or files or have it automatically refresh every 24 hours at a time of your choosing.

    I've been using TVersity for years now and find it brilliant. Even streams to my iPhone, other laptops around the house and it can also be set up to be accessed through a web browser with a password, if you want to access your media when away from your home network.

    Hope this helps

    I know about TVersity, but I really don't want to use my laptop for it, I have a dedicated NAS for that. I think I solved it, the database on the NAS was over 100 megs in size which seems to have fried the Xbox, so I stopped indexing the music on it and it cut it down to 10 megs and it's all fine now
