Thats really strange, because I have been able to stream so much easier to my 360 once i switched to windows 7. I take it you have network discovery turned on, sharing on the network enabled, and the xbox 360 comes up as a listed device on your network map?

I think the 360 needs a update that'll be released near windows 7 release to take advantage of windows 7 features all the exsisting basic stuff worksPosted By Mikro

What errors etc are you getting?I've been streaming to my Xbox360 with no problems from the first public Beta.Is your XBox up to date with the latest software? When I attempted to connected to my main desktop running Windows 7 RC, it updated itself then happily displayed all the media for me.Make sure your local network in Windows 7is configured for the home group, else media sharing will be disabled next time you boot up.May be worthwhile temporarily disabling the Windows 7 firewall to see if that makes any difference (although the appropriate firewall rules should have been already added). If it lets you connect - then you know what the issue is.Michael

I'm also streaming from Windows 7 RC1 and Media Player 12 to my 360 without any big problems. Make sure under "Network and Sharing" you click "Choose homegroup and sharing options" then "Change advanced sharing settings..." under your network type click "Choose media streaming options" and allow the 360.
