Hello!
i'm new here, recently installed xbmc on my pc and i have to say i like it very much so far. It looks good, it has got some nice features, many addons etc. Basically its great. Although it is obviously supposed to be used on a TV instead of a pc. Now i have not got a htpc, but i do have a 360 and i'm sure there is someway to set this up without modding the 360's hardware.
i've got a pc running w7 os (64 bit) and a xbox 360. the 360 and pc are both connected to the same network. Now i want to be able use XBMC on my 360 (meaning, i want to control my PC version of XBMC with my xbox)
seing how these two machines are connected to the same network, i'm sure there is a way of streaming movies to the 360 from the pc. I'm not 100% sure i can control the pc client remotely with the xbox, but i think this should work aswell. Note that i have no intentions of modding any hardware. I have previously watched movies on my 360 wich was streamed from my pc using the Azureus Vuze client. That worked out good, but i would rather see that i could use the beautiful interface of XBMC (it does look very good even without modding/skinning) on my TV. I could just hook the tv up with the pc , but i dont have a hdmi cable long enough, and the TV does not have any network reciving device that i know of.
tldr; All i want is to use XBMC on my TV from my PC, meaning, i hook my pc up with my 360 console and stream or whatever to view it on the Tv.
I have been searching alot, but since i'm new and don't have any knowledge here i havent found anything. I've read alot of "how to's" but still not found anything. So if there is someone who could help me i would appreciate it ALOT.
sorry for any spelling mistakes.
regards!
