Nullriver Software has released Connect360 v3.0, an update to its communication software that enables Mac users to share media with their Microsoft Xbox 360 video game consoles. A free update for registered users, Connect360 v3.0 costs $20 to register.
Connect360 enables you to play back music and view digital photos on your Xbox 360. It will automatically index your iTunes and iPhoto libraries and share them on the Xbox 360; you then use the Xbox 360 Dashboard to browse and play your Mac-based media.
The update, which is dependent on a new Spring ‘07 Dashboard update from Microsoft for the Xbox 360 itself, enables you to stream H.264 and MPEG-4 video from the Mac to the Xbox 360. It also lets you share iTunes podcasts.
A Universal binary, Connect360 works with Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later.
