SageTV & TwonkyMedia + Xbox 360 = ?

[wizrd_in_motley]

Hey folks,

I have been using SageTV for quite a while, now I've complicated things a bit, I'm trying to use the Xbox 360 to view the files. Since my Infrant NAS supports Twonky I've installed it on their and I'm seeing files just fine... except the Xbox 360 won't play the files created by SageTV.

Does anyone have an idea of how I can change the parameters in what Sage TV saves so the Xbox can read the files?


From what I've been reading I'm afraid I'll have to install something else on the computer and convert the files over to Divx or something like that.

If you've got any suggestions, I'd appreciate it

The problem isn't SageTV, but the xbox. It's not exactly a versatile playback device. Even though it has plenty of horsepower, MSFT's software support is lacking, and even in media extender, the server has to do transcoding to make it playback a lot of files.
