send2XBMC makes it easy to send either an URL or the address of a remotely shared (SMB) or local media file to your Xbox running XBOX Media Center (XBMC). This can be done by opening the file through the dialog of send2XBMC or by providing the path/URL by a commandline parameter. To use paths with spaces, add quotation marks to the parameter. Be sure to have the Web Interface enabled on your Xbox. Sending multiple files to XBMC at once is allowed.

The latest version can be found at: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/2606980/send2xbmc.zip (v4.8.1027)
 

Features

  • Video site extraction support (YouTube, Break.com etc. - customizable)
  • Explorer context menu integration: send files directly from Explorer
  • Opera Browser support
  • Total Commander support
  • Custom shares specification

send2XBMC will send URLs and remotely shared files directly to your Xbox after checking the existence of the file in case of a SMB-share. If the supplied path is a local file, send2XBMC will automatically search for an available SMB share that leads to the file. If found, it'll send the network path to your Xbox.

  1. Make sure the XBMC webserver is ENABLED!
  2. Integrate send2XBMC in Explorer, Opera and/or Total Commander (see included send2xbmc.txt)
  3. Check if the creation of a send2xbmc.ini file is necessary for you, for instance to provide send2XBMC with the IP-address of your Xbox (see included send2xbmc.txt)
  4. Make sure your local files are shared and XBMC can access them (you might have to add your Windows user account details in XBMC.
