I have downloaded but after reading the blog, I am reluctant to install. I don't like the idea of turning off UAC and installing an Ask.com toolbar.

I installed it yesterday and it's fine so far. Much nicer interface.

You don't have to install the Ask.com toolbar - just deselect the checkbox at installation. I already had UAC turned off for other reasons.

Do you know if you have to uninstall the previous version?

You may be able to use these steps to disable UAC for tversity only. I haven't tried it on this program, but I've used the toolkit in an office environment with Vista Business to allow usage of an older program. It worked very well in that situation and UAC is still active for everything else.

I just ran the install and it upgraded the existing install just fine. kept all my shared folders etc. I believe it recreated the DB, but I didn't have to re-share anything. It all just re-appeared.

Still works fine with my DSM-320. (360 and PS3 are in storage for a move at the minute. I'll be able to try them again on Sunday)

The upgrade went fine for me. But I can't get my Blackberry to connect to it.

Well after several weeks of use, I am very happy with TVersity.

The family loves to sit in front of our 100" screen and I stream music and photos simultaneously to the PS3 and its really a lot of fun.

We listend to music, view our photos and have a blast.

Appears to be Windows only?? :(

According to one of the responses on http://tversity.com/tversity-10-rc1-is-here/ ,

For those of you worried about turning off UAC, you can turn it back on after the install.

Yeah I dealt with all the issues and I have UAC back on and no Ask.com toolbar.

You can also send stuff to your ipod touch.

From Tversity's site. "# Open the Safari browser on the iPhone and point it to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:41952/iphone, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the machine running TVersity."

I have both my wife's and my son's ipods bookmarked for them.

I tried the iTouch stuff a few weeks ago and bookmarked the server in Safari. I can then dock it into the Phillips SoundBar which has an iPod dock and listen to tunes.

Very cool.

Well, it revived my old Photobridge HD1000. Transcoding works like a charm ... The only downside is having a windows box running 24/7, but for now, it works for me :cool:

Hi,

Not sure whether this should be a new thread or just a continuation of this one, so here goes,
I just downloaded the TVvesity onto a Windows XP SP2 platform, and I can see TVersity as a source on our Xbox 360. I can access my media on the 360, ie play a file I select on the 360.

So far so good, what I was hoping for was to be able to control what is playing from the computer rather than the 360, ie the 360 becomes a slave to what ever I select on the computer. So far I cannot figure out how to do this, is it possible?

The benefit for me is then the TV gets turned off and I have control from the PC, my real interest for this is just for audio, obviously!!

Any thought's?

Lastly, what is this "UAC" stuff about, sorry to be a luddite on this subject,

Regards

Tim

No its not possible.

So I guess the next best route would be a wireless adapter to output directly into the remote amplifier set up or as a last resort, connect the sound card directly to the amp.

That's life

Thanks for the reply Hugh,

So if this program any different or better than ORB?

It also works with the wii according to their website.

From what I gather, TVersity is much eaier to setup to stream to your 360 or PS3. But with ORB, you can stream a tv signal if your host computer has a tv tuner card.

None of it matters to me though, since all I want is to stream video to my Blackberry Pearl. I can't get TVersity to do it because (based on the error message I get) Telus is restricting things. Something about files being too big. This is pretty silly since I have an "unlimited" data plan with Telus. I guess it works for people in the States, though.

Orb also provides access to your files from the Internet by going to their website and logging into your Orb account. From there you can start a stream (or download a file) from your home PC.

p.s. IMHO, Orb is easier to set up than TVersity. I actually am running both at the same time on my Vista PC (yes, they work without conflicting!). For some reason my PS3 couldn't reliably find my TVersity service but it seems to have more luck finding the Orb servce. The nice thing about having both is that each has its own advantages (eg. different files types sometimes look better in one over the other) and this way I get the best of both worlds.
