I want to say I am not an expert like a lot of the people here. I would classify myself as an intermediate computer user and a casual gamer. I downloaded the demos of Rivet and Connect 360. For me the rivet saw my videos but not the MP3s so I decided to go with connect 360. Just thought I'd share my experience and many thanks to everyone on this blog for sharing this solution. I was really bummed that neither my new ipod or iphone worked with the xbox so I am thrilled to be able to play the songs from my mac. Thanks again, Jeff

HELP!!!!!how out of touch am i! Im only trying to install this now and cant find any forums to answer my Q’s. ive downloaded Connect 360, plugged ethernet cable from xbox 360 to wireless modem and all i get is drop down box saying “could not allocate a required port”. A required port seems to be in use, free ports 1900 and /or 9335 if you wish to connect 360….. WTF..

I bought both.

Connect360 is much better:
– File lists come straight up (takes literally for ever in Rivet)
– Can stream AIFF encoded audio (Rivet Can’t)
– Keeps folder structure just the same as Rivet

Connect360 downside is that you can only share one video source. I have no idea why they would limit this!

Hey,

I downloaded Connect 360 and have the same set-up as you but it doesn’t work for me.
The xbox doesn’t even know the mac is there. and Yes the connect 360 is running when I turn on the xbox. just wondering if I did something wrong?

Connect360 is great, it works so much better than using a PC with Windows Media Player (which is quite funny) :). I am also using MediaLink from Nullriver to stream audio, video and photos from my powerbook to my PS3, works like a charm! :)

Rivet is better. I’ve used both, but rivet is much better @ sorting items and updating the content listing on my xbox.

I tried both Connect360 and Rivet. I have my videos organized on an external drive by show and then by season folders. Connect360 would break up some of the folder hierarchy (not all of them) and it wouldn’t display all the folders. Rivet keeps the hierarchy as well as displaying all the videos. Unfortunately it sucks because I paid for Connect360 before Rivet only to find out it doesn’t work like I expected it to.
