Connect360 updated with H.264 support

On Sunday, Nullriver release version 3.1 of the program and I am pleased to report that the freezing and format problems are GONE!!!

The product is working great now and I have been able to stream every video podcast I have in my iTUNES library, which is a considerable number of files spanning all the various video formats.

No reason to refrain from buying the full version now!

This app is worth every penny, and provides 360/Mac owners with most of the features of Apple TV for $20.00!

Connect360 does work great for music and pictures to the xbox. I'm sure they will patch it within a month or so to fix the h.264 issue. In the meantime however, I do know that you can get it all to work through parallels (even transcoding with tversity).

I just discovered this program after hearing about on the Achievement Junkie podcast.

I too am having a lot of problems with videos freezing after a couple of minutes or not playing at all. (error message about format not supported on formats that are listed as supported).

Well... I guess I probably should have waited a bit before paying for a registered version, since at the moment, the program is pretty much useless.

Sure hope they can fix whatever is wrong.

I wrote to their support address several days ago and haven't heard BOO.

The silence is deafening. Must be a pretty serious problem, since the developer has said nothing about the problem yet.

I have the same problem as well with my videos. I've got some switchfoot podcasts that are done great, but they just freeze up after a while randomly. I do hope there is an update that might fix this.

Out of curiousity, is anyone having problems streaming things off of an external harddrive? I am for my itunes podcasts and I'm wondering if this is where the majority of the problem might be coming from.

I went out and dropped 100 bucks on the 360 wifi adapter then came home and spent 20 on connect360 only to find out that all my movies wont play... or some will play but stop a minute into them.... sucks

All my videos freeze too. Not good; can't get 10 minutes into a movie without this happening.

@9: You shouldn't have a problem. I run it on both an older ibook and dual 500 G3 without problems.

Tons of problems with this new version of Connect360. Video freezing, refusal to play and so forth. I can take the same videos and stream them from Vista or play them from a USB drive and they all play fine, so it's not the videos. BTW, I used the presets for the iPod and also custom settings within the defined Xbox 360 limits in Handbrake and iSquint for transcoding Xvid/Divx.

@11: Why didn't I think of that? Because of course the volume controls fan noise.

The mp4 videos work for me, but I had to uninstall v2.82. Then I had to install v3.0. Thats the only way that it would upgrade properly. So, this may be a fix if you have a previous version installed.
