If it is for downloading movies and music, music I can understand, but movies, why download them, just make your own, it's too easy now days, you'll get better quality making your own then you ever would downloading one, on top of that, you can choose how big you want your divx file to be 1 2 3 cds if you like :P

ccxstream is a Streaming Server (for sharing files to Xbox Media Player over a network)
It is not a download / file sharing application.
It simply allows you to stream media from another host on a network i.e. your PC running Windows or a Linux box

- install XBMP
- upgrade to new CVS build
- install ccxstream for win32 and setup shares for use with XBMP
*UPDATE*
- install ccxstream as an XP service
I have been using ccxstream for a few days now and it seems fine.
Maybe a good alternative to users who are having problems with Relax.
ccxstream is easy to setup and requires just one command with options to
begin sharing out folders
Dont know if the way I have setup ccxstream is the best way. But it is running
fine for me at the moment

ccxstream uses XBMSP protocol.
XBMSP is a more simplistic & faster protocol than the XNS protocol currently used by XBMP.
Though XBMSP has not replaced XNS it can be used by future XStream Servers to share media files to XBMP.
ccxstream comes in a Linux and a Windows version
ccxstream is setup via CLI . . . one command with options is all thats needed to get setup
See guide for example!
Performance wise i cant tell . . . Relax does good job as does ccxstream.
Currently I am using ccxstream with no issues at all

I just wish you could run it as a service in the backgroud :/ I'm very happy with ccxstream thus far.PS... Great Tutorial!

edit . . .
guide now includes how to install ccxstream as a service . . .
thanks to Nailed for link to FireDaemon
revised guide is here . . .
V2 (includes FireDaemon Setup)
You need free (lite version) util from here . . .
http://www.firedaemon.com/
What Is It?
FireDaemon is a utility that allows you to install and run virtually any native Win32 application or script (eg. BAT/CMD, Perl, Java, Python, TCL/TK) as a Windows NT/2K/XP/2K3 service. FireDaemon features easy configuration (via GUI or XML), a low memory/CPU overhead, subprocess prioritisation, custom environments, CPU binding plus monitoring and logging to the event log and on-disk log files.

i was having nothing but grief from both SMB (hangs, etc) and RelaX (the new 'back button issue')...
ccxstream seems to be working flawlessly and transparently.
thanks again

And i don't know where to put request, but they are putting in some apple tech in newest player. So why don't they put in Rendevouz with Quicktime Streaming(i know Rendevouz not from apple). Rendevouz is very easy (no setup) and works great. iTunes will be availabel soon for Windows so they can use it too. (there are some alpha build availale on the web)
So that are mine thoughts about streaming protocol.

If I could either get CCXstream working smoothly or get Relax to stop losing connection, I would be a happy camper. Can anyone help?
Post by: Telemachus on June 11, 2003, 10:40:00 AM
I am using Complex, since CVS wouldn't even load.
When it works, it works flawlessly!
Frustrating!

Post by: Foot on August 13, 2003, 11:10:00 PM
in XBMP I have it setup to connect to my PC via smb.... I click on the correct icon for it, takes a sec... loads a new screen as if it were to display my contents over the network but it doesnt display data at all. I can back out fine, it doesnt lock my sytem up like when it doesnt work (ie, the settings being wrong for the connection)....
Is there anyone out there that might know a sollution to this.... the same problem of not displaying the data is happening with ccxstream and the windows file sharing.
also if you can PM me to make sure I catch the thread...
cudos to w m z yet again, and I love your avatar.

xbmp:
<share>
<name>Network (XBMSP)</name>
<url>xbmsp://192.168.2.6/music</url>
<cachesize>256</cachesize>
</share>
ccxstream:
-I 192.168.2.6 -S music=D:All in AllMusic -S video=D:All in All
Anyone see anything wrong with this config? I know I have it running as a service correctly. So very confused. In the ccxstream code is it supposed to be a -L or -I?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Try a higher chachesize for starters.
Lower case L.
-l 192.168.2.6 -S ....

Also try using the 'old' DOS subdirectories name. I have mine pointing to "d:\mydocu~1\mymusi~1"

Had problems with relax and ccxstream because I was using root directories. Dont know if that is why for sure, but Im back to using relax and its working like a gem.
Good luck!

Here is example of mine...
ccxstream -l 192.168.0.10 -S mp3albums=d:\mp3albums -S pictures="d:\Canon 10D"
Note in particular the Canon 10D.
This would help the above All in All problem so just make -S "D:\All in All"
Post by: HeeD on October 14, 2003, 11:59:00 PM
Instead I used a free program by MS called srvany.exe
You have to search around the net for it.
Took me about 10 minutes to figure it out. Works great and I now have ccxstream.exe running as a service in XP Pro!

| maybe because some of us run AD domains at home and XBMP doesn't seem to properly transmit domainnameusername through for share authentication :angry: least I've never gotten it to work using AD auth. |
You can create a local username/password and modify the security on your NTFS filesystem/share to allow that username to access it. On your AD controller, domain accounts are local accounts. This is how i got it to work in my AD network.

I thought the cachesize was how much of the stream xbmp was buffering ? I don't know that's gonna help w/ connectivity issues.
But again, I might be wrong

XBMSP does have a discover feature, add this in your config.xml under videos/music/whatever:
This will add an item "Discover XBMSP Shares", when choosen it will broadcast a discover packet and the XBMSP shares on your local network will respond. I wonder why this item isnt included in the default config :) |
