Xbox360 Streaming??

[Waaylander]

Anyone successfully setup a Xbox360 stream solution using InHome Streaming.

Something similar to this Nvidia Shield solution.

My windows 8.1 setup to Macbook 11 is working well so far (The only bug I've noticed is when a game crashes on the host machine).

Ideally I would like to stream the 360 however I'm struggling with the GIMX setup to enable the remote machine to control the 360.

Does the Xbox 360 use the x86 architecture? If yes, hack it, install Linux on it and you're good.

No, I want to be able to stream my Xbox360 to my MacBook Air, so the Xbox360 sends Video to a capture card (That bit works fine). Just setting up the controller via GIMX isn't working. The link in my original post shows how this works on a shield.

Same answer.

ReBoot, except putting Linux on the Xbox 360 isn't going to let you stream Xbox 360 games...just like you couldn't play PS3 games when you ran Yellow Dog Linux on your PS3 back in the day.

Is the Xbox 360 in the same room as your MacBook Air laptop? If it is, couldn't you just use the wireless Xbox controller and just play facing your computer screen?

BTW, it would seem something like an EasyCap[www.amazon.com] would be a cheaper route than a full-fledged video capture card.

If it runs x86, you can put Linux on it and stream PC Games. That's what I mean.

Yes well obviously the Xbox 360, unlike the Xbox One and the original Xbox (2001), is PowerPC-based not x86 and also locked down pretty tight and will only run signed code, so it won't even run PPC-based Linux distributions unless you can find and develop an exploit that jailbreakes it. Besides the OP wants to stream Xbox 360 games not PC games.

I think the OP wants to use In-Home Streaming to stream the video and audio feed displayed from the video capture application (included with the capture card) running on his Windows 8.1 desktop PC to his MacBook Air, which should be possible. He can just add the Video Capture application as a non-Steam game on his Windows PC and then stream it from the Mac Steam client on his MacBook.

[ReBoot]

Well, forget it then. No x86 means no Steam. Over and out.

You might be able to do it in a roundabout way by "capturing" the video from the 360 (capture card) to another computer, stream a game from the second computer and minimize it (desktop mode) and then stream that second computer to your MacBook's screen.

You'd have to use the controller that's hooked up to your 360 for input, though, and I'm not sure if the audio will come through the MacBook since "desktop mode" streaming is a bit of a hack.

ReBoot, are you trolling, aren't you?

Have you tried streaming just image and sound, and use the input (controller) directly from the X360?
The wireless controller has a somewhat decent range.

[Waaylander]

The image/sound is streaming the Xbox360 video perfectly via AverMedia Rec Central to the air at the moment.

The distance appears to be just at the limit of the controller range, so I think Ill try the simple solution and move the xbox closer to see if that solves the problem.

Thanks for the some helpful suggestions !
