hello!
as i want to do some programming in my freetime (yeah i need another project), i thought of a mediaServer for my xbox360 (like tversity or ps3 mediaServer).
what do i want to stream?

  • normal movie content (which could be streamed via mediaExtender)
  • mkv and vob (rips of my dvd collection)
  • maybe music and pictures

atm i have no clue which requirements i need to meet to get started, like:

  • how does streaming to a xbox360 work?
  • which protocols do i need?
  • how can i communicate with the 360?
  • how can i add pictures of a movie to the playlist?
  • how can i transcode a movie source?
  • are there any good tuts for my mission?
  • and so on ...

thanks in advance!

Take a look at ushare, which is an open source UPnP server (one of the media protocols that works with Xbox 360).

I'm not saying contribute to or copy it, but you could look at that for information about UPnP and maybe a basic understanding about what you are getting into.
