    Streaming videos to xbox 360


    Hi everyone,

    Having an annoying problem.

    I have a laptop running windows 7, connected to an external hard drive. I keep all of my .avi files on the external hard drive.

    I have set up sharing with the xbox - it picks up files in the following folders:

    Downloads
    Public Videos
    Recorded TV

    Videos in these folders can be played on the xbox.

    However, it doesn't pick up any of the shared folders in the external hard drive (G:\Movies etc). The files on the external drive have been added to the WMP library and show up there no problem, and I have manually set the folders to be shared.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Alec.

    I think it's because the "shared files" you might have to go into settings in windows 7 and check what you want to share with Xbox, etc.

    ^ It is set to allow the xbox unrestricted access in the advanced sharing settings in the control panel..
