Aslong as its on the same network as the machine your trying to play from or you have it hooked up via an ethernet cable directly it should work fine.

Windows media player

Windows media center

There your 3 choices for it anyway, need atleast one on the machine with the stuff you trying to play then just google a guide on how to set it up, its fairly straight forward, XBMC has a guide iirc aswell.

it it also for indie developers who write apps/games for the 360 via XNA

so i need the internet then i thought i could just wire my pc to my xbox and then use the windows media player on the xbox to watch the content?

Yeah so long as they're on the same network and you have set up the xbox as an extension in media center or allowed media sharing to it through media player. Depending on what you have available/how you want to do it.

You can do it over wireless and cable.

Hook the 360 up to your pc and then open windows media player, options, Library, configure sharing, and then allow the xbox 360.

Then share the media you want to watch on the xbox 360.

Note that the 360 only plays a few types of media.

You could also just use a USB pen drive and play it from the USB.

when you say cable do you mean ethernet or usb?

ime just going to attach my pc to the xbox and then play my films etc that way yer?
