I am finding that some video files do not play on the Xbox 360 video player when streamed from a PC on the network. The error given is that the format is unsupported.

If I put these video files on to a USB drive I find that they play.

Is there a way to have the video player just stream from a network share? I think the PC media player is interferring with the streaming in some way. I just want the video player to just transfer and stream the file from the PC. Is this possible?

This sounds like a problem with a missing codec. In situations like this I installed the missing codec on my system and the video played perfectly through the Microsoft Media Center application on the XBOX 360. – Ramhound Sep 19 '12 at 12:28
