30th June 2006 will see the launch of Xploder Media Centre for Xbox 360 – the advanced desktop utility that allows you to stream all digital movies and convert and stream music files from your PC for playback via the Xbox 360.
Not real sure why you really would buy a product like this when there are several other very capable free solutions, but I recieved this press release and thought there might be someone who could benefit from this type of solution. A link to the free alternative is available in the Read More section of this post. Also to answer your question, yes you will still need to have Windows Media Center 2005 in order to stream video to the Xbox 360
Make the most of your digital media collection; transform your Xbox 360 into the ultimate home entertainment system with Xploder Media Centre.
Movie streaming via the Xbox 360
* Already built up a collection of digital movies?
* Frustrated by the Xbox 360’s inability to cope with non-Microsoft-standard file types?
Now you can stream all your movies including those in DivX, MPEG, Xvid and WMV formats, in real-time to your TV via the Xbox 360 (connected to a Windows Media Centre PC). Xploder for Xbox 360 also allows you to play content in High Definition (dependent on individual system configuration and source files).
Playing music via the Xbox 360
Hook up your Xbox 360 to your AV system and playback digital music tracks. Convert CDs to MP3 format for digital playback, with all track, artist and album information provided automatically using an online database.
