Xbox 360 Media Center unusably slow...
I've had ZERO success in playing MCE content - ie live TV,
recorded TV etc. The menus are intolerably slow, taking 5-30s to
respond. Eventually when streaming starts I get a couple of seconds
then streaming stops.
If I try the performance test tool I get an error:
Unable to Measure Network Performance
A connection to the Windows Media Center Extender cannot be
established. Please make sure that the Extender device is properly
connected and that the start screen is visible.
This occurs with firewall and av all stopped. I (no longer -- thanks
to dynamic disks!) have OneCare installed, and the Xbox most
definately can connect to the PC as it manages to bring up initial
windows albeit with slow response.
Host machine is dual core (Pentium D 820) with 3Ghz ram running Vista
Ultimate x64 (sp1 rc). TV progs are on striped disk (2 devices). As before
network throughput is in the 16-20 Mbps range over 802.11g
Wireless power saving is off, and ping time is ~1ms.
Both devices are on same subnet with no additional firewall rules etc
set on router.
Finally Video streaming (mpeg4) and music streaming (mp3) from a PC ie to
Media Player using the xbox 360 dashboard works *very smoothly* meaning there is something wrong on the media center/xbox side.
Ideas?
