Well I updated to XBMP 2.4 and the same thing happens. It does nothing when i select "mac share". Bellboz, I don't have the dev tools loaded so if there's anyway you could send me a binary of the tools you mentioned I'd really appreciate it.

This may have been answered somewhere else, but can someone who has been able to get this streaming work comment on the performance?  Is it decent?  What kinds of files are you all streaming from your mac?

Also, isn't it possible to simply so an SMB share?

Thanks!

Thats to bad you couldn't get it to work. It does work really good, I couldn't tell a difference between the stream and if it was running of the xbxo hd

After looking at the XBMS log file, it seems that even though I'm entering in the proper IP address, the log file shows the incorrect one. I think I'm going to duplicate a random log file to see if the settings will take with a "dummy" log file in place. I'm really hoping I can get this working as I'd love to be able to share my 6gb of music without completely filling up my xbox's hard drive.

I'd like one to

Ok.

Here is my changes to ccxstream.

MAC Stuff

The archive contains the executables for both ccxstream and ccxtest.  You might have to ctrl-click or right click on the dmg file to save it.

I also put the patch file I used to modify the original source, along with a directory containing my modified source for those so inclined.

I put a small readme noting most of this above, plus showing the command line I use for ccxstream.

Excellent thanks Bellboz! I'll give this a try tonight and report my results!

ccxstream works like a charm for me! mich better than xbpm tool!

this is what i use in terminal:

./ccxstream -L -l 192.168.0.2 -S music=/Users/markus/Music -S movies=/Users/markus/Movies -S pictures=/Users/markus/Pictures

to start the stream

and u have to edit in config.xml

section music e.g.

<share>
   <name>iBook</name>
   <url>xbmsp://@192.168.0.2/music</url>
      <cachesize>256</cachesize>
   </share>
<share>


works perfect!!

i would like to see a small programm (package) including the binary,
and with the possibility to choose the orders u want to share and start the server..

a cool small nice GUI, perhaps a daemon setup ..

are there any OSX (script?) coders out there?

starting the terminal and pasting the command suxx..

[bigman606]

ccxstream worked great for me.  Thanks for the file and the helpful thread!

[divby0]

why dont u make a nice little "brushed metal aqua" application to set up and save ccxstream settings and make a .app! so u just have to double click and set up.

next step would be to set up a daemon which starts at boot up, and runs also your app is closed..

would be really nice

NICE! It works! Thanks so much! Now all I need to do it write a script to auto launch the command for me at startup and  I'm golden. Thanks again!

I just whipped up a short AppleScript that executes the command for you... and put it in "Login Items"

works like a charm!

Thanks Belboz for all of the help.
