<*share>
<*name>RELAX<*/name>
<*url>c:\[email protected]<*/url>
<*/share>

An entry in the config file begins with <share> and ends with </share>, like so:

<share>
<name>Booyah</name>
<url>c:\[email protected]</url>
</share>

The <name> tag just gives it a name so you can identify that particular entry in XBMP; it can be anything you want.

The <url> tag tells XMBP where to find that particular share; for RELAX streaming you need to put in the following format: path@IP address, as in the example above. The "1400" somebody else listed is the port; 1400 is the default and you don't need to enter a port unless you're using something other than 1400, in which case your <url> entry would look something like this:

<url>c:\[email protected]:1492</url>

If you using a streamer other than RELAX, like samba (smb) you need to specify it in the <url> tag as well, along with the username, password, workgroup, and computer name:

<url>smb://xbox:xbox@funderland/maisy/my pictures</url>

Thanks for the info.

That clears things up for me a little bit.

I am fairly new to computers.

I will post my results later today. I hope it works for me.

Oh yeah,

I have seen some example's that show  <url>[email protected]  etc

Is that required?

[Mars Rocket]

That sounds like $ROOT and $mp3 are variables defined somewhere else in the config file; it's basically the same thing. I don't do it that way, so I'm not familiar with the exact syntax.

Either that or it's just an example, and you have to replace $ROOT with the root directory of all your shared files, and $mp3 with the specific sub-directory you keep your mp3's in.

BTW, in my example there's supposed to be a backslash  after c: but the forum stripped them out.  I just put them back in. Hope they stay this time.

$ROOT$ is not a requirement.  Neither is the port number at the end.

I would recommend using an absolute path instead of $ROOT$

i.e.

c:\shared\music

d:\stream\videos

Or whatever is your shared path.
