Here's a cool utility I've been testing for a couple of weeks. It's called TVersity Media Server and it allows the user to stream audio/video/image media to ANY ethernet/wireless/WAP 2.0 equipped media player!

Everyone knows to stream video from a PC to your 360 the host PC must have MCE or Vista right ?

I have windoze 2000 and I can do the same plus stream any format video file to the 360 or PSP or WAP enabled Mobile phone etc with TVersity. It converts my XviD's or whatever I've got to WMV or MP4 on-the-fly seamlessly. pics, MP3's etc no problem. As long as your chosen drive has file sharing enabled TVersity will see it.

Not quite up there with XBMC but a huge leap away from Microshaft's 'proprietary stranglehold' on the 360's capabilities. Because it's a program that runs on the PC there are no legal issues with unsigned code etc.

Worth checking out if you don't have a media centre for your TV & want to watch your downloaded videos on the telly. Freeware too !!

yeah, it's not bad, but it can be a bit and miss at the moment.. and so can the clarity unless you have the latest dual core PC. Seems to skip on occasion, and have to sit there watching nothing while it buffers every 5 minutes or so.

I still keep my old xbox1 with xbmc which never fails at anything, and will play anything, and it doesn't chew up the PC's processing either for doing other stuff.

I think it's got a while to go before I use tversity regularly over my old xbox setup. You still can't transfer the files to the 360 hard drive (not that 20gb would be any use), so your pc always has to be on if u want to watch movies. Sometimes that's a hassle.

Yeah i still use my Xbox1 as well. Supposedly some hacker showed off booting a linux kernal on the 360 at a hackers conference i Germany the other day - check xbox-scene theres a video... but its up for specualtion if its real or not.... hope it is, would be nice to be able to play 720p etc material....

he was using a graphics engine vulnerability in King Kong to display a couple of textures with the unix logo etc. But.... it still means that code of some sort can be run on the 360.

I found the quality is very ordinary using TVersity but atleast its a step forward.

Your best bet is to encode your movies/tv episode etc to HD WMV and put them on DVD's, if you want to play them back through your XBOX360.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
