How to Use TVersity on an XBox 360

Although streaming media files between a computer and an Xbox 360 video gaming console can be achieved through Microsoft's Windows Media Center utility, the program is only capable of playing a small range of media file types. The TVersity Media Server software solves this problem by transcoding files on your computer into a compatible format before streaming to your console, allowing you play almost any media file type on the Xbox 360.
