UPNP on Xbox 360

Has anyone gotten this to work for recorded TV programs? When I go into the Video Library on the xbox, it finds my myth backend and lists my videos but not my TV recordings. When I go into the Music Library on the xbox, it lists the TV shows under Albums and Artists, but you can't play them. It does list my songs when you select Songs.

I don't know if there is a setting I'm missing or if this just isn't working.

Thanks for any help.

Yes I get the same issue and have since 0.21 atleast, is the 2nd best way to
get this fixed to lodge a trac ticket?

* with the best way being to submit a bug and attach a patch :) *

Cheers,

Anthony

Yes file a ticket--with Microsoft.

Microsoft XBox 360 UPnP support does not include support for MPEG
Systems streams, instead requiring specific MS-approved containers, and
does not include support for MPEG-2 or NuppelVideo coded video. (Yes,
the XBox 360 DVD player plays MPEG-2 coded video, but obviously, anyone
with MPEG-2 that's not on a commercial, encrypted DVD is engaging in
nefarious activities.)

You can make MPEG-2 coded video work by having a Media Center Extender
that serves it (don't know if you could get that to work), or, you can
have a Windows box running (a supported version of) Windows Media Player
transcode it on the fly into a "Protected" WMV (i.e. WMV container with
"approved by MS Windows Media Player" DRM tags inside). There are also
other apps that can transcode to the appropriate format.

The problem here is not Myth.

Thanks. That helps a lot. I started digging in the code and found what looked like an unimplemented "UPnP/RecordingsUnderVideos" setting that I added code for and couldn't figure out why the recordings still weren't showing up. Now it makes sense.
