I currently have a machine running Win XP as host and Linux as guest via VBox. I'm thinking of switching this arrangement around. One of the things stopping me is that I can view videos on my computer's hard drive on my TV via an XBox360. If I can still do this via a WinXP guest under VBox, it makes the decision more...interesting.
Are you currently running a linux host with a Win XP guest via VBox which acts as your share to an XBox360? If so, how are you doing it and how painless is it?
Yes, I know there are other ways to get an XBox360 to talk to linux. I am not interested in this. At all. I want to have the same functionality as I have now, with XP as my host, as I will with it as my guest. If it's not possible, I'll accept that.
Can I move video from Win XP Guest to XBox 360?

Re: Can I move video from Win XP Guest to XBox 360?
It should be possible, if you use Bridged. That will make the VM look like a physical machine on the network.
