HP MediaSmart x280n woes

rldev » Wed Aug 17, 2011 2:44 am
First post
I have a HP MediaSmart connect x280n and I have to unplug it almost every time before use otherwise it hangs. or gets stuck on a screen in WMC. I was wondering if there was a way to hard reset it or if anyone has had this experience. Unplugging and then plugging it back in always fixes the problem.
Last post
The only to reset the device when it hangs is to unplug it and plug it back. One of mine sometimes hangs while watching TV, and the reset button on the box doesn't fix it.

Launch Dashboard Items from Media Center

Is there any possible way to launch dashboard items such as Netflix or Hulu direct from the Media Center interface? It's kind of a disconnected experience to have to jump between Media Center and the dashboard all the time. It would be cool if you can link dashboard items so you launch them without...

Take a look at Media Center Studio:
Thanks, I've used Media Center Studio before, but what I'm looking for is a way to launch the actual Xbox dashboard programs from Media Center (like Netflix and Hulu). I hate having to exit Media Center to the dashboard in order to start these.

I use both a Linksys DMA2100 and a DMA2200. I used to get plenty of glitches and bandwidth errors watching high def live or recorded. A simple reg hack sourced from Vista has fixed my issues. If you're having similar problems, let me know and I'll find the details for you. It's a DWORD entry that...

Hmm, worrying info, but thanks for telling us. Can you elaborate on the TA problems with the reg settings in place? Was it whilst changing channel or during a show?
The problems i was having seemed to be while watching any live or recorded TV show. It seemed as though the HD was struggling when I...

Xbox 360 50 Hz output
by
pclare » Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:27 pm
(nice to be back on TGB)
I've recently tried switching from a DMA2100 extender to an Xbox 360. (The main reason for doing this is so that I can watch recorded HD content.)
But there is a problem that I simply cannot live with. In extender mode the Xbox 360 insists on driving the TV at 60 Hz...

Good to be back so to speak
There have been a couple of discussions on Twitter regarding the possible absence of the Media Center Extender functionality from the Fall 11 XBox dashboard update. For one, I do hope that it is still there as I have 3 360s around the house serving up my entertainment...

I could be well off the mark here but I don't think it would have been this bad if it was still under Gates' watch! :(
So true! Bill Gates was a visionary -- Steve Ballmer is . . ., well, . . . a dope.

WMC/extender access control to WHS 2011 shares

farlz » Thu Jul 28, 2011 6:30 pm
I just switched from Windows Home Server v1 to WHS 2011. In v1 there was a section to set folder access rights for WMC's and extenders, but I don't see how to do that in 2011, and I don't want my kids deleting pictures, home movies, etc. Anyone know? Figured I'd ask, otherwise I'll play around with...

I tried to watch the braves game tonight using the espn app on xbox live; it says the game is blacked out in my area (georgia). when did this BS start???? never had a problem watching the braves in the past.
Last post
The game was also on one of the Fox Sports channels. Since they own the local rights to the game, they can require the game to be blacked out online. If it had only been on ESPN (and not also on the Fox Sports channel), then it would have been online. Sometimes college football games will also be...

I'm running WM7 with the Media Center plugin. I'll be setting up a hand-me-down xbox next week to use as an extender. Does the Media Center plugin transfer to the extender, or will I be forced to use the Movie Library to browse and play stored video files?
Last post
Depends on the plugin some work on extenders some don't. Addins like Netflix don't but, My Movies and Media Browser should work on a Media Center Extender.

Well looks like I'm having to finally break down and purchase Xbox Live Gold so I can run Netfix on the Xbox extenders. Family got a taste of having Netflix on the Xbox during the free month of Xbox Live Gold on the 360 I had just purchased.
My question is I want to go with the Family pack...

According to the internets:
Q: Can I purchase an Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack at my local retail store?
A: The Family Pack is only offered online through the Xbox LIVE Dashboard or Xbox.com
I'm not going to try signing up myself, but there is a straightforward option on xbox.com under the XBOX LIVE...

I haven't really researched this yet...been busy upgrading my WHS to 2011.

Yup...that was it. Thanks ;)

I have multiple XB360 extenders on my network. Is there a way to specify a unique name for each extender so I can tell which is which in the various MC UI's relating to extenders?

I myself would also like this to happen. It would help within My Movies so that I can easily set filters to each individual XBox.

Greenbutton not working on Linksys DMA 2100 & XBOX MCX

Hi
Not sure if it ever worked as I only bought this Linksys DMA extender for my daughter's room last week, but when I press the Green Button, it does not take you back to the MCE start menu.
Was a brand new Linksys DMA unit, never used before so was a new remote control also. :roll:
Last post
That's wierd, I posted before your post above to suggest a mod or configuration change on the HTPC may be causing it. I did it from Tapatalk, so it just probably blipped through crappy 3G reception. Glad to hear you have it working!

My xbox extender is pretty sluggish going from menu to menu, loading movies etc. As a general rule is it the connection speed between the extender and the PC that causes this or the hardware setup on the PC.
Last post
Tried the homeplug in hall way, ran extension into bedroom and connection improved in front room on xbox not blazing fast but better, disabled sounds and transitions and that seems to improve things. May be changing from this atom/ION system to a dual core matx so i'm sure it'll get faster....
