Hey guys,

I have two 5040's, two xbox's and was hoping to start a thread that has all the info to allow my xbox's to play files from dvarchive including what mod chips to use and where to get them. thanks for your help!

Try what site www.xbox-scene.com everything about moding xbox.

There is a modchip war, of course, to decide which one is the best, but it seems that most people like the "Xecuter3".

So this is the "I'm too lazy to search google, so everyone post it here for me, since your time is much less valuable than mine" thread?

He didn't even put DEFINITIVE in all caps. This thread has no chance.

Seems that in the last few builds, streaming from DVArchive don't work. regardless the inclusion of '/video' in the path info.


But I haven't tried with XBMC build from 15 Jan 2005.


RTV streaming still works, although with jaggies & no CA.

I can stream from DVA just fine with the 1/15/05 build of XBMC.


I softmodded my box, no chip needed.

I'm using a build from late january and streaming from RTVs and DVarchive to the xbox works. One thing I have noticed is that the picture quality out of the xbox is better than it is out of the RTV. I am using component output to my HDTV for both the RTV and the xbox so my guess is the component video hardware in the xbox is newer/better than the RTV? The xbox doesn't automagically skip commercials though so I am still watching shows with my RTV

Do you folks have to do something to get XBMC to work with ReplayTV? I notice on the Replay line it shows "rtv://*/". Are you supposed to fill in the ip of the Replay unit there?

No, XBMC found my ReplayTVs automatically. It doesn't see DVArchive, and I haven't spent any time looking into why.

I decided to do use a fresh build of XBMC. Running Build date 2/1 now and it's working fine. I edited the xml file to include my ReplayTV unit. Still confused about how XBMC finds it automatically, but this will do just fine.


Thnx fellas.

No problems here in DVA streaming to Executer2-modded Xbox since last summer.

fubie, you probably don't remember but you helped show me the light on XBMC a long time ago.


Well, last night I finally took the plunge, using this web site...
http://www.how2xbox.tk/

An XBox from ebay, a $10 contoller to USB cable and $20 memory module I successfully softmoded my XBox and installed the 2-1-05 build of XBMC.


I had some stumbling blocks but now that I know what I'm doing I could do another in about 15 minutes.


You don't realize how cool it is until you use it.

The default configuration saw my Replay 5040 automatically and I was streaming from it no problem.


So thanks to you and everyone else on the forum who keeps mentioning this great project.

My Xbox found the Replay TV's automatically. For the DVArchive server I just shared the folder where the MPG's are stored and created a bookmark in XBMC to them.

That's great! I'm glad you were another successfull story. That site tends to go down alot so you can also goto my forums at http://geek.fubie.net for help.
