I could not get the batch file to work so I just shared the 360 feeds folder.

If you’ve done the Media Player 11 hack ,it appears you’re dead in the water with this add-in as your media files are no longer shared on your Home Server Console.

Anyone else had this experience?

I followed this until step five. If the .cmd file is supposed to be loaded to as a scheduled task on a client, I cant do this, the computer I am using has Vista Home Premium, sync (the control panel app with task funciton) is not enabled in this version. Is there any workaround? Also where is the DL’ed content stored on the WHS?

Do these files get saved to the Server (as part of the sytems 20gb)? Where does Xbox 360 Feeds save these files? The tutorial seems to be showing the files as being copied the the network share not moved, is that the case? I would prefer to not have any thing saved to the Home Servers local drive but rather on the network. Also in the batch file I assume you repace the %COMPUTERNAME% with the name of my home server.

Only yesterday I uninstalled community feed thinking that it should be something for XBOX. I installed and played with this software one day and then uninstalled. I looks cool. The name is so confusing.

Why don’t you use MS’s Sync Toy to handle copying the files? It would solve the problem that Carlton brings up. At the same time, the content downloaded would automatically be removed when the Community Feeds app clears out the older feed entries.

The only problem I see is that the batch file does not sync the directories. It will re-copy a file you’ve already watched and deleted from your shared folder. Or if you set Community Feeds to keep only 2 shows, this will only apply to the files in the Program Files directory, not the shared files in the Videos folder.

I think a better option would be to write a command that syncs the two folders, or use a non-WHS program such as iTunes or Miro and save files directly to the shared video folder.
