Thread starter warrenpeace Start date May 19, Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle at the mo and any help would be much appreciated. I recently installed Windows 7 on my laptop and along with it came the new Windows Media Player The problem i'm having is with streaming video and music files to the Xbox My firewall is Comodo and this is set up fine as it allows me to connect to Xbox Live and my Xbox shows that it can connect to the laptop fine.
I also tried closing down Comodo and the problem I'm having persisted to I know it's not that. I have done an extensive search of the Internet and now have Media Player set up to share my library with the Xbox with no restrictions. However, when I go into the Video or Music section on the Xbox I can see the folders and files that I am sharing via Media Player 12, but they just won't play. It won't stream the video or music.
For video it comes up with the following error: 'The connection to your computer was lost. Make sure your computer is turned on, connected to the network, and running media sharing software. Status Code: C00DF' A search on the code doesn't find much apart from one person stating that the ethernet connection to their xbox had made itself public rather than private. Mine is shown as public and I can't quite figure out how to change it with Windows 7, which annoys me.
What I don't understand is if it can see the files and knows that they are being shared, why won't it play them? Is this a Media Player 12 or Windows 7 problem that anyone else is having? All the video files show up as having the cannot play icon Circle with line through it.
I'm thinking that it has to be something to do with either Windows 7 or the new Media Player 12 as I have the exact same setup on Vista and that works flawlessly. Other things to note would be that the file types for videos are all AVI Xvid and I connect the xbox and the laptop together via an ethernet cable rather than wireless.
I haven't tried using Media Centre yet as an extender because I'm not a fan and would rather not use it, but I might give it a try. Search related threads. Remove From My Forums. Answered by:.

I can now stream MP4 movies H. The problem I have is when trying to stream these files from Windows 7 to media center on my Xbox Elite. All files are encoded in the same format but some play ok while others cause the screen to go blank and freeze after a few seconds. Afterwards, the only thing I can do is exit to the dashboard or switch the console off. In a couple of instances I have been able to avoid the problem by fast forwarding a few seconds into the film before the freeze occurs but this does not always work.
