Xbox + UPnP

Posted on June 21, 2006

A while back, I ported Rhapsody to the Xbox when I was working at Listen.com. It’s been a while but after seeing the latest XBMC 2.0 with 360 skin, I really wanted to do something with it again. Since I had just finished Platinum, I decided to port it. The main problem that people encountered when trying to port UPnP to the Xbox is that the Xbox doesn’t support Multicast (sending and receiving) and since Multicast is required for bootstrapping (SSDP), I had to find another way (which I’ll describe later).

Anyway, after a full night of coding and a little bit today, I was able to get it going with the help of spiff on Efnet #xbmc. See the video here and here.
