hi,
i tried this with a file just recently again and the instructions i wrote still work!
make sure that:
- you don't have a firewall between your pc and your xbox blocking the port you're running the stream on. this could be a software firewall like the one that's built into windows or it could be a router of some kind or a computer that the connection is going through if you're using another computer as a router
- you're using the port that you set it up on at both ends and that nothing else is using it.
the times i've used this i generally go for ogg video and ogg audio (vorbis).
also make sure the video you're trying to run actually plays in vlc on your pc in the first place!
