I can stream media just fine using the built in media server on both my 360 and PS3. However, when I try to add my 360 as an extender for media center it can never connect. Any ideas? My goal is to get MKV files to play.

It uses the file extension to determine whether to parse the file and where to place it in your library. So to get an mp4 to show up in my videos I had to use avi. I think it might be related to the last bullet-point under downsides.
