The TVersity Media Server lets you manage your Internet and home media and create your personalized lineup of channels, or as we call it your Personal Entertainment Guide (PEG). It then serves this media to a multitude of networked devices in the home or on the go, overcoming their inherent limitations by doing all the necessary conversions on the fly, and thus making your media available anywhere, anytime and from any device.
With this application you can share music and images from your Windows 2000/XP PC to your Xbox 360 and since the Fall 2006 dashboard update and TVersity Media Server v0.9.9 you can also stream videos to your 360 with on-the-fly WMV transcoding!
Main Features of the TVersity Media Server:
* Play Internet audio, image and video streams and RSS/RDF/ATOM feeds and podcasts on your TV, Stereo and other connected devices: The media server streams media from the Internet and delivers it to connected devices via HTTP, the only protocol supported by those devices
* The only truly universal media server (including support for both the Sony PSP and the Xbox 360): Use the same server for home and mobile networked devices (with multimedia capabilities) whether they support UPnP AV / DLNA or just have a web browser or an RSS/Podcast Reader
* Enter your own Internet URLs or select from the bundled Audio and Video Guides: The media server is bundled with hundreds of TV stations from all over the world and thousands of radio stations
* Play your ENTIRE media collection on your connected devices: Finally almost any content that plays in Windows Media Player can be played on any of the supported devices disregarding their codec limitations
* Automatic Real-time Seemless Transcoding: Let the Media Server automatically detect when a given media needs to be transcoded for playback on your media player
* Very fast browsing of your media library with unprecedented speed for huge libraries (up to 100,000 items and more): The Media Server has a very short response time, allowing faster browsing of your media library
* Advanced searching and smart playlists: The Media Server supports keyword searching as well as advanced search experssions and allows search results to be saved as playlists
