ReplayTV is a stand-alone PVR/DVR (Personal Video Recorder/Digital Video Recorder) box for the American market and is sold online at www.replaytv.com. As a rival to the famous TiVo, the ReplayTV PVR/DVR box records TV (and schedule recoding) to its built-in hard drive and stores it there. Via the network-port built-in to the ReplayTV box it can share the stored video to a local-network. XBMC has a DVArchive-client which can auto-detect, browse and stream/play such shares.
Note!:' The system-clock on the ReplayTV box and the Xbox must match within a minute for streaming to work, so be sure you set the correct date/time on both the Xbox and the ReplayTV box before you begin, (remember that the Xbox does not have a clock-battery so it loses its date/time if power is off for more than a couple of minutes).
For auto-discovery (default in XBMC) use the following Media Source in the video section:
