XBox 360 Compatibility

I referenced a link about that process since you didn't say otherwise if it has ever worked for you. I said that I don't know if SL changes that procedure. Didn't say it wasn't SL related. Have you used your Mac with your Xbox in the past? If so, it would seem trivial to repeat that process w/SL and see what luck you have. If you've tried and failed, perhaps you can describe what happened, etc.

Have you seen this thread:

Before I even get to that, my question is how can I use a Mac for this? It requires a Windows PC running Windows Media Center in order to share music and video with the XBox.

Got it. Thanks. It works too, yet I have to disable my firewall - which is not a big deal.

I've noticed when using this app that much of my itunes library does not show up on the XBOX. I wonder why?

I thought you said you've never used your Mac with your Xbox or did you just mean WMC?

What type audio formats are you using?

Is the content not showing up purchased songs from the store, by any chance?

I hadn't when I wrote that just moments ago. I just now installed the app you linked to for the first time.

I'm using mostly mp3, some m4a.

Not just purchased songs, but a lot of others too not showing up. I'll check with the developers of this app.

Figured it out - The demo version only allows limited sharing. I've gone ahead and purchased it. It works really well.
