    [quote=topperdude]By extenders, are you referring to the Xbox360 as being able to play M2TS files natively (streamed from an MCE server or from a NAS)?[/quote]

    Correct. I can play back M2TS files on my xbox 360 through the media center interface.

    I don’t believe this to be technically correct.  They are not being natively played.  They are being transcoded by the Media Foundation framework.

    [quote]Is this specific to a specific operating system or can an extender do this with any version of MCE (WinXP, 7MC).[/quote]

     

    It very well could be. I am using Windows 7.

    Media Foundation Transcoding is only available on W7.  In Vista you could play files by using T360 but it was not a very reliable solution.
