hey is it possible to stream media from the xbox over the web interface? I think this would be usefull for steaming to say a laptop or even mobile phone. Is it even possible to access the F drive from the web? Let me know if this is a crazy idea and where the bottlenecks would be. Thanks.

really wasnt looking for xbox to xbox over ftp. Im looking for me of actuall streaming so it could be streamed to mobile devices.
the builtin webserver doesnt support this however there was a hacked version of the webserver which did. you could test how well it would work by copying a video file into the web folder.

kraqh3d thanks for the reply. I am a computer science grad so i have some development experience. This is one feature that i would like to see in XBMC and i think i have the skill set to implement it if pointed in the right direction. Did this hacked web server give the ability to stream video or access the f drive?

I just have connected to the forum looking for something like this :) I have the XBox at the living room but my mom don't let me to eat there to be able to watch the films, so or i bought another XBox and i put it at the dinner room (with the generational conflict it represents :P ) or i put my own linux server there and i connect it with the TV... :)
im pretty sure it was a modified libgoahead.lib file which allowed access to the entire hard drive so that you could stream via http local media files.

Thanks for both of your replys. I have researched all over to find info on a libgoahead.lib but or any hacked web server in general for xbmc. Could you provide me with any links to info? Thanks.
this was a while ago. you'll need to check out the libgoahead code yourself and modify it accordingly. its in the docs subfolder in svn...

I guess i was hopeing to be able to do this without having to compile using the xdk. Is it because of a security flaw that this is not implemented in the cvs or is it the fact that noone really wants this implemented?
or 3) nobody has implemented it.
