Anyone out there have any success streaming videos to their 360 with Windows MediaPlayer 11? I can get my music fine, but not video. I thought I had it working a long time ago, but no luck now. I just get the "No Video Found" message. I've got a WMV file in my "My Videos" folder of my "My Documents" folder, but it won't see it. However, if I drop a jpeg in that folder, it will see it in the picture section.
Any ideas?

To set up Windows Media Player 11 on a Windows XP-based PC:

Go to the Windows Media Player 11 download page at www.microsoft.com to download the software.
Depending on your region, Windows Media Player 11 may also be available at www.xbox.com/pcsetup.
Click Windows Media Player Software (or, if you followed the link for a manual download, choose your operating system and follow the instructions).
Run the software setup on your PC and follow the prompts.
When setup is complete, Windows Media Player should automatically start. If not, open it.
In Windows Media Player, click Library, Media Sharing.
Select Share my media, OK. Windows Media Player will search for devices on your network.
Click your console, then click Allow. If you want to apply more options, click Settings. When done, click OK.
On your Xbox 360 console, in the Media area of the Xbox Dashboard, select Music, Pictures, or Video, then select Computer.
Select Yes, continue, then select your PC.
Am I missing something here?
I think I got it to work after the fall update, but before WMP 11 was released. I used WIndows Media Connect (which has since been rolled into WMP 11). Sounds like no one here has had success. I'll try the AVS Forum next.
