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.

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.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      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.
