blue bits. red rocks.
Saturday 29 November 2008

All this to say, streaming digital entertainment from your Windows computer to an XBox was always pretty simple but if you had a Mac you had to deal with Connect360. It’s a fine program, but the menu system is a bit primitive, and I personally ran into some connectivity issues. So I’d like to recommend Rivet. It installs in a flash, it’s about $20, and it works off the internal file structure of your Mac — so however you arrange your media on your Mac, that’s what shows up on the XBox. Managed to set it up within a few minutes, possibly even easier than the Netflix setup. Was watching my ripped Inspector Lynley mystery in no time. John Rogers
