Okay I am in need of some support.....

I cannot get XBMP 2.3 to work with RelaX v0.75. I have checked tutorials on various sites about this very configuration and *surprise!* they all say different things. I have tried all these different things, but nothing works. I even had some guy helping me out over AIM last night for about three hours or so. So, I have re-downloded a clean config file and am going to start from scratch.

Any replies would be greatly appreciated, and AIM me if you can, that would be ever better. I have all the software I need, etc, its just a matter of setting it up properly.

thanks in advance

ALSO :

Is there anything I have to configure in EVOX (I am using Version 1.8.3752) before messing around with the other two programs?  Should I edit the .ini file in any way, or do I need to?

sorry to hear you having problems . . .  
dont give up! this is one of the best apps for xbox  

if you PM your email address i will send you my full config.xml to have a look at  

Hear is my advice . . .

The Relax share is a Network share defined as XNS . . .

<share>
       <name>Network (XNS)</name>
       <url>d:\stream\[email protected]</url>
       <cachesize>256</cachesize>
</share>

In the above example 192.168.1.2 is the PC that is running the Relax s/w

By default 3 Relax shares exist in the config.xml . . . 1 for music, 1 for pictures
and 1 for videos.  It is therefore necceassry to point the config.xml at the Relax
shares you create . . .

When setting up Relax you create "shares" by dragging and dropping paths
from your PC i.e. right hand pane (in the relax program) to the left hand pane.

See a gif of my Relax setup here . . .



Sometimes when Relax is installed for the first time there are no shares defined in the
left hand pane.  simply create new ones by right mouse clicking SHARES > add . . . rename them.

I also recommend placing a tick in the . . . Extra Options > "Disable Starup Warning for empty IP list" box.

I have tended to keep them the same names as the default config.xml as the CVS releases keep on coming and it is easier to do this than keep on editing the config.xml to how i would like them to be named!!!

Each time you install a CVS release it is necessary to edit the config.xml again.  i.e. XNS for music, videos, pictures etc.

I also delete the following file prior to installing a new CVS release . . . system.bin

Q: Where do I find system.bin?
A: You find it here -> /E/TDATA/0face007/

Q: What is in the system.bin?
A: System.bin contains all settings you have made in xbmp. It will be re-created
next time you start xbmp and make adjustments to any settings.

When exiting relax the configuration you drag and drop is saved to this file . . .

RelaX_Config.XML

i run relax as an XP service . . . this way when my PC starts relax is allready up and running  

This is done by running . . .

c:\relax075\relax - install

Reboot PC afterwards.  you can see Relax installed as a service by right mouse clicking
the My Computer icon > manage > services and applications  > services . . . locate Relax

Hope this helps !!

edit . . .

you dont need to do anything special with evox.ini

edit x2 . . .

very good tutorial!

Little to add except that if you do not have Windows XP, you will want to run the Relax_NS executable.

Works like a charm.


I sometimes have issues with files that will not play and need to reboot XBMP though. I suspect memory issues. Do you know where temp files are stored and can be deleted?

[shaman]

Yeah....I need someone to walk me through setting up RelaX and then walk me through setting up my xbmp config file, how about that?

I thought he just did.

Which of these steps do not work for you?

If you get more specific, i'm sure someone has the answer.

[shaman]

Okay the thing is, is that I used Slayers Cd and it installed all the aps for me.  Now the versions are what I posted in the title of this thread unless I am wrong somewhere...I will give your method another shot, but it would be a lot more helpful if we did this together over aim.  First tell me how to set up RelaX and then tell me how to edit my config.xml from XBMP....that would be a huge help


I am using Windows ME if that needs any clarification although I dont think so.

[X-ace]

I don't have AIM.

But you have to be able to inspect your config.xml
That's where to start.

[shaman]

Please for the love of god, can someone just go over this stuff with me  over AIM or something?  If there is something I dont understand in someones directions it takes forever over PM's and Email.  I need help setting up my config.xml and also setting up my shares and whatever else in RelaX.  I have tried every tutorial I could find but nothing works.  

Explain it as you would explain it to a very slow child.  There are things in these tutorials that the authors of them assume you understand already.  Well, some of the things I do not.

[shaman]

I may need to start from the beginning.  Can someone email me the ORIGINAL config.xml from the version of XBMP (2.3 ) that was on SLAYER's CD -- thats what  I used.  I think I messed up the original, that would be a start.

[X-ace]

Sorry. I don't use Slayer.

If you post the one you are using maybesomeone can help you.

Okay, here it is.....Now this is for XBMP 2.3, build 04-14-03  I think that if you have a different build from me, then it won't work.....

note : I think that I should get RelaX (v0.75) all configured and then edit my config.xml properly, right?

Doesn't matter which order you do it in.

But why don't you go ahead and set up relax. There is a tutorial in this thread.

I like to put a folder directly on C: and call it Xmusic.
Make sure this one is served up in Relax. (drag it from the right side over to the music service on the left side - which you set up first.) It is kind of hard to get this part wrong.

What is the IP address of your Xbox, and your PC?
(don't really need the xbox one, but what the hey.)

I just drag/dropped stuff I wanted and then under "Display Name" I just typed up what it was so that xbmp will see it when I go into either music, picutres or videos (it does show it as a file, right? -- cause I am still not getting anything)


here is how my shares are set up


here is how my extra options are set up

[w m z]

as per my Relax setup . . .



the shares are where all my files reside.  i.e. all my mp3's live on my PC in a
folder called d:\stream\music\mp3

i dragged my PC d:\stream\music\mp3 folder to the mp3 share that i added.

you have shared out an actual file not a "shared area" for files!

if your PC ip address is 192.168.1.100 you have not reflected this in your config.xml file!

lets go back to my original attempt at help . . .

<share>
<name>Network (XNS)</name>
<url>c:\shared\[email protected]</url> <---- PUT YOUR shared path in HERE!!!!
<cachesize>256</cachesize>
</share>

you need to sort out your shared areas . . .
you need to enter your PC's ip address where relax is running . . .

when i highlight my music in XBMP menu and select XNS shares it lists a folder
named mp3

edit . . .

added more instructions! and attempt at better english!
