There is a way you can get this to work but it's not really fully functional, you'll only get the movie with nothing else and ou have to manually create hard links to files and playlists. im pretty sure i saw it on thegreenbutton.com. hope this helps If your still interested John, There is a plugin that will allow you to watch your dvd library on media center extenders but the Xbox 360 doesn’t support playing the movies as it doesnt recognize the file formats.

I can now see all the backed up DVDs that are local and those that are stored on a NAS. The problem is thosse that are stored on the NAS show in duplicate. They all work but not its a pain to sort throgh all the duplicates. What is really odd is I stopped monitoring the share and they still show up. The only way to remove them from MY DVD is turn the NAS off. Any ideas? Ok, reg hack is done. I can now see all the backed up DVDs that are local and those that are stored on a NAS.
