Sharing Media When PC Is Switched Off?

[hydeyho]

I'm streaming music and video from my PC to my X360 and I've also got a Revo Blik Wifi on the way that I'll need to stream music to.

Currently I must have my PC on to share the media. Is there anyway I can do this? I've read a bit about NAS's but not sure if its what I need.

Any links to guides and products would be greatly appreciated!

nas box would work fine, would just plug into your switch/router and then be accessible when your pc was off. there are loads about, have a look at overclockers.co.uk for some of the top ones..

Cheers David, looks like I need to NAS with Twonky installed. I think it will need to run an iTunes server for the Revo.

jobs a good un. Tversity for media streaming though tbh

Can I run TVersity on a NAS though? I currently use TVersity so that would make life a bit easier!

yeh good point don't think you can. although i think you can have a nas act as a media server if it has the option, so a ps3 for example could see it..

i use tversity but im finding more and more avi's and vob files not wotking on the 360, its getting very annoying. Some freeze the 360 and others just play the sound.

I always have my pc on and use a small program that auto shuts it down at say 2am every night, its called timed shutdown.
