MGRIDGAWAY STILL no support for folders in folders or multiple locations? I made the plunge for Connect360 right before Rivet was released and since then have been a bit unsatisfied with my purchase. Yes, it still plays the files but the unorganization of it all is killing me (Not to mention that the vast majority of my movies are stored on an external hard drive). Nullriver took about 3 months to pump out another version and it is barely an upgrade, just a few tweaks. If they can't keep up with Rivet I'll have to switch but hopefully it won't come to that. (Version 3.36) | |

REVCO Still no support for folders within folders. Unbelievable. Why would I want my music and movie library scanned at a maximum of every two hours? How often do you think we add movies/music to our libraries. Off or manual rescan is needed. (Version 3.36) | |

ZEWS I want to play back movies form an external dedicated hard drive. Connect360 does not seem to allow this, it will only play back movies that are stored on the internal drive of my iMac. Is there a way to play back movies from an external drive, or am I out of luck on this one. BTW, I have emailed this question to the developer about half a dozen times. They do not seem to be all to interested to respond and support their software, since I have not received a response from them. (Version 3.35) | |

JOMIX24 All you have to do is make an alias of the folder where you saved the videos and then move the alias into the movie folder. So that way it can read the movies off of the external hard drive. (Version 3.36) | |

JOSHK I love what this product is capable of. However, the folder hierarchy problem needs to be fixed ASAP. Fix that and you'll have another paying customer. (Version 3.35) | |

DUKENUK12 ok, i couldnt figure it out for the life of me and someone's complaint was my answer. after sifting through complaints regarding the iphoto problem - if your iphoto library is stored on another disk (external), connect 360 will not find it - i found the fix. create an alias and put it in the pictures folder on your local disk. remove the "alias"tag at the end of it so it is just called "iPhoto Library" and BAM, connect 360 starts indexing. maybe most of you knew that but i saw that a couple people were having this issues and google-ing it got me no-where so this is me putting in my google contribution to answer some frustrated users!

EDSTATE This program has a lot of potential, but there is next to ZERO documentation/support for this thing. Sure, you can email the dev, who is darn responsive, but there are little, annoying issues that can creep up, and all you can really do is email the dev. They have a FAQ, but it's hi-and-miss. For sure, a user-supported forum is needed. But at the very least they need a manual of some sort. (Version 3.34) | |

TIROGER While i love this app, this update seems to have broken it. I've deleted all the preference files and reinstalled but it does not start up. Reverting back to version 3.31 fixed whatever the issue is. (Version 3.33) | |

SIDDHARTHA same problem here-no longer shows connection to XBOX 360 I got one message saying I needed to free up some ports (never got that one before) but it disappeared with a restart. Wish there was a discussion forum on the developer's website (Version 3.34) | |

HUXLEY I bought this software a few months ago, and I've had an absolute blast using it. It works well, is easy to set up, and makes my Xbox 360 useful as a media-streamer in ways I wasn't able to access before. Kudos! One small caveat, though: While music and photo streaming work very smoothly from my iMac G4 1.25gHz machine (my main media server), streaming video is choppy at best. However, streaming video from my 17" MacBook Pro 2.33gHz is silky-smooth. (Version 3.31) | |

XPANDER That's odd because I stream HD video from my dual 867mhz MDD and it's as smooth as butter. (Version 3.33) | |

REVCO Spoke too soon. Do you think it's possible to add support for folders within folders? That is for folders to retain their position within folders instead of every folder appearing at the top level. Also, do you think you can add a manual option to "Rescan Movies folder every:..." | |
