wikati Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 go find xbmc junk installer. thats the only recent release that ive seen leverage any kind of streaming capabilities (does not work well). xbmc4xbox is not a good solution for accessing content from the web. it is however still rather practical for 480p rips accessed over the network or from the hdd. tmdb scraper is fixed, so you can get all the synopsis and fan art which gives a wonderful feel to your media library. i just put complete collections of seinfeld and simpsons on one so my camp life is never without the warm fuzzies of old tv re-runs..... you can also use a upnp media server that handles the transcoding from pc. all in all it still does a great job of media playback unless your handling HD content....

captaintofuburger Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I wouldn't even bother, the xbox is just too old of hardware at this point to handle anything decent for video streaming. And others have pointed out there's far better and very cheap devices that can do exactly that via kodi, plex, upnp, whatever you want. Way back when the xbox was relevant XBMC was awesome, I was running it well before there were windows binaries for it. Once HD content started to become the standard XBMC on the xbox was pretty much game over for me. Switched to an apple tv to jailbreak and run xbmc on, then eventually over the years moved to plex. Basically, I wouldn't even waste my time trying to play videos on an xbox these days. Either buy a cheap android set top or stick, roku, fire tv, apple tv, whatever, and load kodi, plex, embry, pick your poison. (No kodi for ATV) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Fairbanks Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Yeah a couple years ago there were still quite a few video streamers that used XBMC. I used to watch on my OG Xbox when there was a justin Tv plugin that still worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
