Xbox into an extender

[jc8367]

I'd like to turn my regular Xbox into a media extender. I know this can be done with Windows Media Center but has anybody ever tried it with GBPVR? I'd like also still use it as a game console. Any thoughts? Thx.

if you get it working let me know cuz my roommates and i are going all 360s and will have some xboxes laying around.

how can you do it with windows MCE?

but my suggestion is to install windows on the xbox... then you can install GB-PVR

I've a modded xbox and run XBMC on it. I have my GBPVR recordings on a network share, so I just map XBMC over to the share and play them. Playing back mpg2 files works great - mpeg4 files are a little "laggy" during high action (like football games).

I believe a while back someone was talking about making a MVP like device out of the xbox, but I don't think they got really far and gave up.

I believe what he is talking about is people have hacked the Xbox to work with windows MCE and MythTV - I believe he's asking if anyone has done any work to make it work with GBPVR.

I haven't seen anything, but i figured I'd post to clarify the question.

I noticed that you had duplicate threads posted - here and in MVP. I was wondering why the topic sounded familiar . Anyway, here's the thread where they were talking about creating an "XboxMVP"
