hello everyone
i'm trying to configure Xbmc to use Relax in order to access the files on my pc through my xbox. Everything is saying to edit the config.xml when i only have the XboxMediaCenter.xml. When i opened that up it is very confusiong and i am unsure where to put the code of <share> and all that other stuff because there is already so much.
i just want to access my videos and music from my xbox to my pc.
Can anyone please help me on where to start?
THANK YOU
ps- i'm sorry i couldn't find the answer in the tutorials or other posts. i've been looking though....  <

Read pinned topics.

1) This is XBMC, not XBMP.  XBMP has config.xml
2) Search forums and you'll find out that Relax will not work properly in XBMC.  Use CCX or SMB.  Search forums and read pinned topics.

And, to keep it simple, just search (when the bloody thing is running :angry: ) under "Samba" which is definitely the way to go for smooth, fast streaming.
It is easy to set up.  <

ok thanks for the links.
i have set up Sharing on the three folders i want to share.
I have tried following the tutorial but i am not understanding exactly how to change the .xml file i know i need a code like theis:

CODE

Movies @ Neo1         smb://Mshome;xbox:xbox@Neo1/Movies

but i'm not sure what all that means like what does //MsHome mean? the folder? i have my three folders on my desktop
thanks a lot  <

Just do this:

smb://user:[email protected]/ShareName

where user is the username you've defined
where pass is the password you've defined
where 1.2.3.4 is your Windows IP address
where ShareName is what you named your share in windows when you shared it

If you have WinXP Home, and you have NOT disabled simple file sharing and you have made sure that Windows XP Firewall is not enabled or blocking connections from the XBOX, then you can just do:

smb://1.2.3.4/ShareName

Good luck,

ok so is this all i need to put:



what about all the other smb options do i delete them or just leave them there?
i already have Movies sharing on a netowrk.
thanks a lot  <

i tried putting the above in and i get "access denied"
any more help?
THANKS  <

If you are getting access denied, it is usually a firewall issue. Try turning off any firewalls you may have on (even if it is only the XP one) and try again. If it works, then configure your firewall with the appropriate permissions.  <

[xbox_Steve]

i have the internet connection firewall off and i don't have zone alarm or any other firewalls.
my code under movie smb looks like this

CODE

SMB                                    smb://DOMAIN;username:pwd@MyWindowsServer/movies/

i have it edited just under the smb://192.... and so on. what else do i need to do?
thanks any more suggestions?  <

ok for my movies it goes like this

CODE

i'm not sure what exactly to edit my ip is 192.168.0.10 and my movies according to the map drive are at //Home/Movies
Thanks a lot you guys are pals haha  <

[evilnick]

CODE

SMB                                   smb://DOMAIN;username:pwd@MyWindowsServer/movies/

That's where the problem is... any lines starting

CODE

mean that what follows is a comment and not used by the program, hence when you've changed the ip address and computer name, you haven't changed what XBMC will use!

You need to edit this line:

CODE

smb://DOMAIN;username:pwd@MyWindowsServer/movies/

So that it becomes:

CODE

smb://192.168.0.10/Home/Movies

Save that to yr Xbox, reboot and let us know if there's any other problems!

Good luck, once this is working, you'll be so impressed!

ok i put the code in like that and i still get access denied. Under each folder i have share this folder on the newtwork shared. Do i need to put my xbox on the network? I already have it manually configured so that it will be able to ftp
anyway my smb code looks like this:

CODE

SMB                                    smb://192.168.0.10//Home/Movies

i think my path is at //Homes/Movies but i have tried the other /Homes/Movies but neither work...
do i need to set my domain and everything else?

CODE

smb://DOMAIN;username:pwd@MyWindowsServer/movies/

THANKS so much. you guys rule... any other suggestions?  <

I just want to say a big thanks for the help in this thread regarding SMB shares with XBMC, I had my entire MP3 collection streaming beautifully from PC to XBox, in only about ten minutes worth of reading. Didn't even have to ask for help.

XBMC is the best thing for the XBox, people don't know what they're missing out on.

Cheers and beers         <

I have folders shared with share this folder on network but i'm not sure if the xbox is on a network. i can ftp....
