Hi Guys,
I have an XBOX with a 120gig drive in it and about 100gig of mp3's. For days, I have been trying to get mp3's to stream/play from it, wether it be via ftp, http or some other app.
I have read many times that you can do it via
WebDrive or
Novell's NetDrive but everytime this crashed explorer in Windows XP or Windows 2003.
I have also ready many times that you can't map drives and samba won't be ported for a long time etc etc..
Well, I have found this works for me:
FtpDrive on Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 Server (x86). Now I can play my mp3's from a mapped drive (Z:\) for example and also play it at work via another freeware app that uses drives for its collection called
Vibe Streamer.
So basically, if it doesn't work for you - thats not my problem, however, this works for me and I'm stoked!

Edit: Seems to play xvid's fine as well, although I haven't watched a full movie.
