Viiv?

So does this only work with Viiv processors? If so, that's stupid. I don't understand this. Take the XBox 360 as another example. If you don't have a MCE PC you have to install Media Connect and you still can't stream videos.

Yet, I've been streaming pictures, videos of all types, and music of all types with my modded XBox via XBMC for YEARS. No need for Media Connect, no special processor needed, no need for a Media Center PC... just any PC capable of handling network shares. That's it. All these damned companies are intentionally crippling their services to force consumers to buy sh!t that's not technically needed.

I dount they are intentionally not offering features. I am sure that the RIAA dn MPAA are exerting some pressure. Pressure the makers of XBMC don't have to deal with. I wish someone would try though as you are right, no commrecial device does what most people say they want. It seems like an untapped market to me.

I have a DSM 320 which works OK, but it is just not quite there.

Supposedly, the Xbox 360 will be getting video streaming using WMP11 on teh PC after the fall dahsboard update, but we will see.

If MS were smart, it would change the original xbox around a little bit so it doesn't appear to be theoriginal xbox, build in XBMC functionality and sell that as a media box.

I love my Xbox with Xbmc.

I've got the dsm 320 and it's pretty darn good. But I agree... it's not quite "there yet"
