-- cause I am still not getting anything)

how do you expect any shares to be visible?

your config.xml file does not reflect any shares that you have setup . . .

as per your posted config.xml . . .

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

^^^ have a good look at this . . . how the hell is this your music share???

as per your posted graphics . . .

the ip does not match for a start! and Realx is sharing out c:\music\an file of somw sort

my suggestion would be to share out a shared area of files . . . c:\shared\music
for example.  put all the music in this folder that you want XBMP to play!

hope you can see where you are going wrong!

[shaman]

OK I just set it up EXACTLY how you said, fixing what was in RelaX and my config file -- EXACTLY ! and I went into XBMP and hit Network (XNS) and nothing happened.  nothing.  Could it be because we are using different builds of xbmp or something?  I am using 14-04-03 ?

edit : I posted this message before seeing WMZ's and your edit....let me read up and try that

W M Z, you rule.

Shaman, try to relax and follow the advice from WMZ, he's an expert. Imagine if you had a paid for service that you could call into, and you'll see the value of his (repeated) advice.

As far as I can see you do it right except that you need to share a folder, not a file. you need to designate this folder both in the Relax software AND in your xbmp config.ini. Use the right IP and you should be good to go.

[shaman]

First let me start off by saying that I am using Windows ME.  Okay I went over you guys's suggestions and it still didnt work.  Okay so I find my IP by going to START>RUN>WINIPCONFIG, right?  I get this :

IP Address : 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1  

Which do I put where in the config.xml?

I made folders on my C: drive that go like this :

C: streamMusicmp3  (the backslashes arent working for some reason when I edit post)

I also made folders C:streamVideos and C:streamPictures but didnt put anything in them yet -- I just want to see if Music will work first.
===============================================================
Now I look at my config.xml ......

<share>
       <name>Network (XNS)</name>
       <url>c:[email protected]</url>   (or should it be 192.168.1.100?)
       <cachesize>256</cachesize>
     </share>


Okay so the folders on C: and the path in the config.xml seem to match up (I am probably wrong though, please correct me on this one).......

===============================================================
Now I go to look at RelaX  (I am using relax_ns.exe)....



It looks fine to me as per what you guys said, unless I am missing something or leaving something out.  This is VERY possible since my head has been spinning trying to get this stuff to work, heh.

Another question : what about the other stuff in RelaX?  For instance, in the "Extra Options" and "Connections" windows, what should I have set there?  In Extra Options, I have Server Port at 1400, Debug level at 0, nothing in the three long boxes uder debug port or in TBN directory and then I have this in Extensions : *.avi;*.mpg;*.mpeg;*.divx;*.dat;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.mov;*.mp3;*.mp2;*.mp4;*.wmv;*.wma.  I have nothing in "For these IP's Only" , I havent checked the two boxes below that, and in Proxy host I have PROXY1.PROXY.NET and Proxy Port set at 8080.


Okay now  I just went into XBMP amd clicked on Network XNS and nothing happened.  I even put in an SVCD and went to DVDROM (ISO9660) and it played it in XBMP.

I know man, I am just getting really frustrated after spending two and a half straight days....sorry guys if I come off like a jerk   And thanks for hanging in and trying to helm me WMZ

as per your graphic in an earlier post . . . you had an ip address in here!!!! remove it!!
and place a tick in the box . . . "Disable Starup Warning for empty IP list"

i am happy to help you for all eternity . . .

it should be 192.168.1.100 as this is the ip address of your PC where Relax is being run from . . . <share>        <name>Network (XNS)</name>        <url>c:[email protected]</url>          <cachesize>256</cachesize> </share> give that a whirl. forget about extra options for a moment . . . get the basics working first   as per your graphic in an earlier post . . . you had an ip address in here!!!! remove it!! and place a tick in the box . . .

Okay I think we are getting closer LOL !

I click on My music and I get the MY MUSIC page in XBMP and down the side I have Play, Shuffle, Record, Artists (which are all disabled) and under that I have Playlist and My Music which are enabled.  However, there is nothing in there.  I think I have an idea of what it is (don't I need to put a display name in RelaX for the files to show up in XBMP?), but I am still usure.  I did however check out the Debug Log in RelaX and it's moving....For example, I hit My Music in the main XBMP page, then My Music down the bottom of the next page, and this scrolls up in RelaX :


192.168.1.103     05/07/2003 13:04   0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hit My Music in the main XBMP page, then My Music down the bottom of the next page

are you not selecting selecting . . . 1st / Main XBMP Screen > My Music > Network (XNS)

Network (XNS) = PC / Relax shares

i take it you do have some files in your shared area . . .

c:\stream\Music\mp3\all the music files that i want to listen to are in here

Oh, yeah I am selecting Network (XNS)  In the Music folder I have one song (usually just burn all my music so I have few on there ) and in my Pictures folder on C:streamPictures I have a folder full of pictures and a few out side of the folder but indside the main Picures folder.  In Videos I have four .AVI files....yeah so there is stuff in there.  Could it be something in Settings though? or how about some numbnuts thing I forgot to do that is obvious that you should do in, say, the config.xml, or in RelaX or somewhere else......?

[X-ace]

Hmm. I presume Relax is running when you do this right? And your pc is connected to the network (sorry if it sounds like a dumb question).

My config file says the following
       <name>Network (XNS)</name>
       <url>c:[email protected]:1400</url>
       <cachesize>8192</cachesize>
Note the :1400 after my IP address. I don't think this should impact anything, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

You also have to reboot XBMP in between each time you edit the config file.

If it still does not work, that sounds really odd. At this point Iwould try reinstalling the point release of XBMP (2.3 complex) to see if it is different.

WMZ we are watching...

No, none of those are dumb questions at all.  I mean since I have a bunch of different things to work with like the config, RelaX, FXFlash (the ftp prog), and XBMP, those things tend to get overlooked by someone just learning -- like me.  

Anyways guys, I am making headway.  I can now see the folders that I made.  Here is the share tag contents :

<share>
       <name>Network (XNS)</name>
       <url>$ROOT$c:[email protected]</url>
       <cachesize>256</cachesize>
     </share>


XBMP's official manual mentions to do this (put in $ROOT$) to add a complete share from RelaX.  Now, when I go into XBMP and hit My Videos, I get two folders (ones that I put in C:  stream   Videos on my PC harddrive). HOWEVER (heheheheahahah) I still do not see the files themselves, therefore I am not able to view/play them.  Okay so why arent these files showing up?  Of course, I did change the XNS tags for pics and Music and put in folders as described above and still when I click on the folder, there are no contents.  

weird.

[w m z]

if you are going to do that  . . .

it should read . . .

<url>$ROOT$stream\[email protected]:1400</url>

you have left the c:\ in there, remove it!

[JayDee]

Ok

In just a few steps and if you do not get it after this i am sorry for you.

Delete all shares in relax.

Make a share in a root dir on your pc, called music or what ever you want.

Here is a example picture:


Right click in the window and choose save config or what it says.

The ip on my computor is 192.168.0.1 so the share in the config.xml will look like this:

     <share>
       <name>XNS</name>
       <url>E:\[email protected]:1400</url>
       <cachesize>256</cachesize>
     </share>

Use the path to your files instead of the one i used as an example.
The ip should be the ip to your computor.

Be case sensitive and reboot the xbox when you ftp over the edited config.xml

Start with getting one share working.
When that is done you can just look at it and see how to do the next.

The disconects in relax log window is normal. it does that after every connect.

nope.  It is still showing the folders in XBMP but not the individual files -- so I can't listen to the music, watch the videos or view the pictures I have....
