I was trying to look up how to stream MKV files to my xbox and I found this.

I was wondering if anyone else has tried this method or if there is a better way. I do have my computer and Xbox wired into my router so that shouldn't be a problem.
I don't know much about the way in your link, but I can achieve the same effect using this software:

Don't be fooled by the name, it works for Xbox as well.
I use xenonmkv, and it works perfect. Since .mkv is just a container format, all it does it mux it into a .mp4 that the xbox reads nicely. Most files will work, including 1080p, but sometimes the bitrate is too high.

Yeah i watched a movie last night with the way in the link and the only issue i had was fast forwarding freeze and not buffer. That could have just been the xbox being wierd.

That's because ps3mediaserver encodes on the fly. Xenonmkv encodes the whole thing beforehand so ff and rw isn't buffering.
I might give Xenonmkv a try then.

thanks
PS3 Media Server is much better on a Wired network in my opinion. I stream to my PS3 and encode at the same time, and honestly I have no problems when fast-forwarding or rewinding.

Everything is going to be better on a wired network.
