I use connect 360 and like it a lot. I don't know why you guys are complaining about the noise from the 360. Mine isn't loud at all. Are you guys playing your videos on silent?
My only complaints are these:
--Groups all videos together. TV shows, Movies, Video pod casts in one list.
--No artwork support. BUT....Before i re-did my collection, one piece of artwork for a movie did show up. I was shocked. Not sure how it happened. Maybe the fileformat...But i've ripped them all with either appletv, or xbox360 presets on handbreak.
--Maybe once a week, or once a month i will have to restart my xbox because it wont read the computer. Just sits and spins. But its a easy fix. Kinda annoying tho.
