10 Steps To Setting Up Xbmp And Relax
« Reply #1 on: January 08, 2004, 03:26:00 AM »

I have been running relax on my PC for about a year, and am now installing it on my second PC. However XBMP does not display anything when I select my new server on my xbox.

I am using Relax_ns on a PC running XP.
Under the debug tab it says:
"Could not bind socket. Address and port are already in use."
And I feel like this should be a clue, but am not sure.

Help.


My config.xml has the following entry

<share>
<name>XPC (XNS)</name>
<url>T:[email protected]</url>
<cachesize>8192</cachesize>
</share>

where 192.168.0.100 is the IP address of my PC. I also tried different drives and folders.

And relax is set up with 3 shares (Music, Pictures, Videos) all of which have listed the folder T:ProjectXXshare under them.

XPC shows up as an option under pictures, videos and Music on when running XBMP on my xbox, but when selecting it, it doesn't open the folder.

Does anyone have any clue?

thanks for all help.

Awesome guide, got RelaX working in a matter of minutes.  Very easy to setup!  Just one thing that I guess is a protocol limitation, when selecting my MP3 folder via XBMP it takes a while to read the contents of the directory.  I see RelaX reading (creating a list of?) all of the MP3s on my computer.

Is there a way to make RelaX read directory listings faster?  Will increasing the cache size have any effect on this?

Thanks for all help. Something was blocking my 1400 port. A simple netstat command couldn't identify which, because it only shows ports in use. My 1400 port was reserved by a service. Not sure which, but I shut down all the ones I could not recognize. I have a feeling it was MSmessenger, but I cannot be sure since I shut down more than that.

Anyway, it works.
